Wow, it has been a really long time since my last round-up. Things kept getting in the way – visitors, more visitors and a trip abroad. But now I am back to pick up the thread… I’ll have lots of time to do so because finally… Yeah, the pest has finally caught up with me.…
Conas atá tú? Sonja is ainm dom agus labhroim Gaeilge. (How are you? My name is Sonja and I speak Irish.) Ah well, the last bit of that sentence is a lie. I don’t speak Irish yet, but I am learning, as you can see. Last week my Irish course started and I am all…
This is the last round-up before the big fundraiser begins! It’s strange how quickly it suddenly sneaks up on us, right? So the final sprint is here, and with all contributions to the auctions and sale now received, I am planning to get some items struck of my to do list today. Add remaining items…
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far. In Ireland. It was, wait for it, a staggering 25.9°C!!!! For our North American friends: That is 78.6F. 😂 I wasted the good weather – it was not only warm, but also dry and sunny! – and stayed inside all day. *wrist slap* But I…

The week was really busy for me. Lots of work came in, and I was finally back to writing original pieces for my fashion blog. (It’s way more work but also way more rewarding.) I now know everything there is to know about the best sneakers to expect and invest in in 2022 😂. Yesterday…
A little lesson in Irish national holidays: Today is St Patrick’s Day, the feast of Saint Patrick, the saint who christianised Ireland in the 5th century. Legend has it that he did so by explaining the Holy Trinity with the help of a shamrock ☘️ – available in abundance on the Green Isle. Not a…
A huge big thank you to all readers here for their prompt and shopping-happy reaction on yesterday’s charity flash sale. Even without prior notice, orders came pouring in within minutes of publishing my blog post. Kate’s tags and RAngels were hot sellers, with all but one, single tag snapped up last night. A huge massive…
The world as it is today cannot go unmentioned even here in this ‘happy place’. With Russia invading Ukraine, war has become tangible in Europe. I am old enough to feel catapulted back in the times of the Cold War. Even though I was a child back then, I was keenly aware of an ever-present…
Good morning on a spring-y Saturday. Their is a tentative sun outside my window, the first daffodils are peeking out with their yellow heads from my window box, and the great tits are tweeting in our garden. That makes for a happy start into the weekend. How far has spring come where you are? But…
