Hey there my growing fan club... I was most pleasantly surprised in my wanderings on Friday, as I strolled through my lovely Village of Dalkey... snoopinng and sniffing to see if any festival goers had been so kind as to drop a sausage or two.. for my convenience, you understand.... When I was approached by a young fellow, in an orange t-shirt who asked my assistant quite nicely if I was the famous Dalkey Dog around town..... OMG.... I am famous now?!!!! How cool was that.... He gave me some lovely pats, and even asked me to sit ... which of course I did... being very aware that 'sitting' does have it's rewards at times.... teehee... to bad he did not have one of those sausages I was smelling.... better move on... teehee....
My new working clothes... how I love my new bright pink t-shirt!!!

Don't the posters match my tee-shirt beautifully??
 |
| Oh wait!!! what's that smell??? |

These shiny Mosaic Lampshades caught my eye.... and so did the very friendly Artist/shopkeeper!! He tells me he has a dog very like me.. only a different colour (If my memory serves me well!!).. He is selling out of one of the new small artists chalets that have appeared in the Tramyard.. Gorgeous blue and white... it is nice to see the growth of artists/craft people in our Tramyard....
M. Kennedy can be reached through his website... these lovely shades are made from small pieces of colourd glass and pieced together by hand... each a unique design...

| Another view of the lampshades... and ME!! teehee!!! |

| Going Home and childrens writings |
I have to go home now, as my assistant needs to keep another appointment.. harrumph!! fortunatly though, I was able to ge a little look at some of the wonderful information all the school children have shared in the windows of all the shops in the town!! have a look above..
That shop accross the street is all decorated for the day... they not only sell Interior design linens and bits and pieces but also super Flowers and arrangements.... Well I guess I better move on... I am sorry I was not able to do more on the day, but sometime life just has to many goings on in it.... Tomorow my assistant will be away.. darn it!! this means I may not make it to the Saturday goings on... Oh well, I know .. we can't always do what we want, and after all at least I got to visit a little bit of it... perhaps we might just make a little visit in the evening tomorow to see if we can catch the 'Tail End' of the festival... I hope so.... Bye... ;-D
Hi Dalkey Dog Around Town, Sir Patrick here OBC (Order of the Beastly Canines), maybe see you one day on Dalkey Hill. I take my Human up there twice a day and have decided to blog about it. Love the pink, really suits you.
