At the moment this house looks a little like a shipwreck. The reason? My other half, Liam, is getting ready to take part in the CoolEarth Event in DunLaoighre this weekend. Liam is a talented woodworker and uses recycled wood, mainly driftwood to produce his creations. Any time we go to the beach we collect drift wood and other bits and pieces to be recycled into mirrors, furniture, household objects.... So Liam will be showcasing and selling his creations this Sat/Sunday 11am-6pm at the County Council offices in DunL. Now, I intend to have a few bits as well...cards made from recycled paper;jewellery made from beach glass and other "finds"; and some windchimes. Hope it all goes well.
This was a neglected corner of our garden until it was "landscaped" with driftwood and beach finds including a lobster pot. The lobster is long gone. Below is one of Liam's mirrors decorated with more driftwood, shells and beach bits. Some of it MIGHT have come from the Titanic!?! Well, that's my sales talk. But there is driftwood all over the house and the start of Liam's display on a table in the living room. I suppose its better than moaning about the bad weather.
