I LOVE this!

I finally got around to watching the stop motion animation, Fantastic Mr Fox yesterday. And I have to say it has instantly become one of my favourite animations. I am always in awe of the people who create stop motion animation, it seems so painstaking but the result is so beautiful! The soundtrack includes The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. I highly recommend this film...

Diving With Her



Cosmic Seaside



My Friend 1



The Artist Himself





I LOVE this!

I recently came across Fredrick & The Golden Dawn and I wanted to share them with you all. They're a Dublin based band playing alternative / rock music. Their debut EP is called 'Here's a piece of Ivan's head' and I love it! Singer Kevin Nolan has many different voices, could hardly believe it was the same person singing on all tracks! My fave track is 'The Guess', cannot describe the music, would take all day, but it's great so please take a listen and buy the EP. ;)

Ooh Something New!

The Candy Wood is a splendorous place full of gummy bears, pear drops and skittles. Take a basket with you when you go! This limited edition archival print is framed in a yummy black frame with acrylic glass. The Candy Wood is available now in the shop, get yours HERE!

Friday on the barge

We took a fabulous trip down the canal on my Mam & Mitch's barge on Friday. We tied the barge up at the lough and spent the night. We had a fab time with walks in the sunshine, cold beers and barbeque (thanks Mitchie) and finished the night off with some Chinese Lanterns in the pitch black of night. We even had a wierd encounter with a wild horse, who was trying to stop us crossing the canal! What fun...

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!

Ikea Stuffed Vegetables

Hi Y'all. I came across these babies last week in Ikea. Broccoli, Carrot and Strawberry stuffed toys/ cushions. I must have these as they are simply brilliant! And a nice little reminder to 'EAT YOUR VEG'!...

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...

Katie Piper

I don't know how many of you watched Katie Piper's 'My Beautiful Friends' on Channel 4 recently. The series finished yesterday. Katie is an acid attack victim and she has set up a charity to help people to live with burns and scars. She is so amazing and such an inspiration. Check out her website here and help by donating whatever you can.

*Spring Treat *

Well Spring has most definitely sprung and the Baubie Sunshine Emporium wants to celebrate by giving you all 15% off your orders! Simply enter the code SPRINGTREAT at checkout and you will receive 15% off your order (on all orders over e10) until Friday 15th April. There have been many new yummy goodies added to the store lately including Magnets, Necklaces and Original Prints. Get yours here!

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...
