By the magical colours displayed by mother Nature : bright yellows and oranges, deep wine reds and vivid greens. Some of the colours of the yarns used by Studio Donegal to weave their cosy woolen blankets are reminiscent of these autumnal tones.

Scary as it sounds, we are reaching the end of October pretty soon : if you are dressing up for Halloween and want your costume to be that bit more glamorous, Blaithin Ennis’ Jewellery will set the tone together with Niki Collier’s new felt collection entitled ’H for Hope’, and inspired by the character Trinity from The Matrix.

Now that the clocks have gone back an hour, we need to adjust a little as night falls that bit earlier. To brighten up the dark evenings, candles are a must ! The delicate porcelain tealights by Roisin Gregory will set the mood.
