Winter in Dublin, 2009: Photography by Katie Reynolds CLICK ON THIS TITLE TO VIEW

The Iveagh Markets in the heart of The Liberties

Hi there! Click on the Title above to view my myspace album with a collection of new photographs of Dublin which I have taken over the past few months. They are mostly taken in and around Dublin 8 where I currently live. It is where my Grandma grew up and it's amazing to wander around the exact same streets in The Liberties as she did. The original stone buildings now stand side by side with the modern styles. It's this blend of old and new, the cobblestones reflected in the glass facade, that facinates me about the landscape of Dublin City.

Foolin in Doolin Christmas Market

Here's a chance to pick up some interesting Christmas presents and sample the local fare.
This market combines the fresh local produce and artisan foods of a farmers market with the handmade goods of a craft fair. It takes place on Saturday 19th December 11am to 5pm at the Russell Community Centre in Doolin. Emma Willcox will have a selection of Natural Cosmetics for sale, very handy for this time of year's harsh weather.

"We have a great selection of local and imported fruit and organic veg, bread, baked goods, fresh waffles, cheese, local ice cream, salads, curries, chutneys, jams, and sauces. And besides that, you will see all manner of handmade items such as ceramics, photography, locally made willow baskets and chairs, quilted and crocheted items, handsewn bags and purses, plants, and natural cosmetics, made locally with seaweed and other organic ingredients. Often we have craftspeople working away, spinning yarn, or making ceramic figures, and always available to answer questions about their craft!"
