Kerry Bicycle Festival

My picture 'My Deerest Bicycle' has been chosen to be displayed at this years' Kerry Bicycle Festival Exhibition. Yay, I'm thrilled to be involved as I'm a lover of bikes and I just wish I could cycle more often. I cycled once over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and it was amazing!

The show is on from 6.30 pm, Friday, May 6th at Siamsa Tire, Tralee, Co Kerry. So if you're down that neck of the woods, drop in and have a good look, there will be lots of bike inspired visual art! xx


My Deerest Bicycle will soon be available in the shop!

Mandy Moo Magnets

Hello all, I have added a new pack of magnets to the Baubie Sunshine shop. Mandy Moo Magnets are SERIOUSLY limited edition, there aint many of these babies so get em quick. Mandy says 'I intend to live forever or die trying'. Great for vegetarians and cow lovers alike. Or if you're trying to cut down on beef then Mandy will look at you every time you go to the fridge! Perfect.
Actually I know everyone sees cows everywhere and they seem like big boring farm animals. But a year ago I went to Dublin Zoo and got to pet a cow and it was great. My hand looked tiny on her humungous neck and her eyes were huge with long black eyelashes. It was my favourite part of the zoo.

Anyhoo, I'm rambling now... you still have like 8 hours to get 15% off in the shop (including Mandy Moo) just enter SPRINGTREAT at checkout. Thanks to all you who have already purchased, sent out your orders today! ;) x




Beef again today? What a shame...

I LOVE this!

I've recently come across the wonderful little hand made splendors of mixed media artist Joanne Murray. Her work usually takes on the form of small sculptural pieces that combine metal and fibre with text, drawing and photographs. I think her work is so sweet and cutesy but also edgy, love that combo! Her little monster brooches are my personal favourite (I have one swinging from my window). Check her out...

show all the secrets hidden inside!

Bologna Flea Market

I was in Bologna last week and had a fantastic time. I was attending the Bologna Children's Book fair, as I'm such a big Children's book enthusiast and am trying to get my own kids book published too. Apart from all that the food was AMAZING! I ate (of course) pizza & pasta and they were like nothing I've ever tasted here! I also came across a little Flea Market bursting with fabulous vintage items, so I picked me up some little yummy things.

I think this clock is from the 40's -50's

It has a wind up and a fab old clunky ticking sound

Don't know how old this is.

Love her cheeky expression and the way she's sitting
