Have a look at Irishbusinesstalk.com, going for a gander now! It’s a new forum for people in business to share ideas and get a little help when required (which form my experience is always!)
Edu Think Toy’s
Here’s a beautiful little picture of Edu Think Toys. They opened just in December on John’s street and I have to say my brother loved the Micano set I bought him. Hasn’t stopped playing with it since and he’s a bit on the old side (he won’t know I said that he can’t read yet)
Anyway they stock lots and lots and lots of toys all with an educational slant (they’re not boring though far from it, I blew up my eye brows new years morning playing with their mini science set)
Stay in Kilkenny…
Go on you all know you want to!
Daly’s B&B is based right smack bang in the middle of Kilkenny and if I was staying anywhere I’d stay there (apart from the fact that I live in Kilkenny and it really makes no sense!) Anyway Dalys has gorgeous rooms, loads of parking, are five seconds from anywhere and are right beside The Two Dames (you won’t go hungry in this place in fact you may not fit back out the door).
So no excuses visit stayinkilkenny.ie and come visit me!
The Kro Team
Kro IT Solutions is a web development, custom software, IT consulting, e-commerce, and general website services business working across all sectors in Ireland.
Anyway, yes that does seem and sound a little random…so to continue from my stream of thought.
I have been working with Kro helping to design some of their sites for the last year and Ruairi has kindly written a little piece on Held in his blog, click here to have a read. If your looking for a bridal site you could just be in luck!
Visit the Kro website here (I’d highly recommend a look and if you have any questions give them a call, their really helpful and always up for a chat)
Flip’s Off
My artwork for the Little Ghost gallery.
The show is based around toys of Christmas past. My piece is a set of five images which tell a little story. Have a look and see what you think.
Show open until Christmas Eve so head along and buy my beauty or any of the other little beauties hanging on the white walls!
Little Ghost Gallery Opens…
Little Ghost Gallery Christmas exhibition is opening tomorrow night (11th of December) and you are all invited. I was up there this evening and the place is looking brilliant down to the hard work of Mick and Ann.
It is well worth the visit and will be open for the run up to Christmas. My little piece will be hanging on the wall so get there quick and nab “Flip’s off” it’ll be worth millions after I take a trip in a wooden box!!
For anyone in Kilkenny it’s at the bottom of the hill that Canice’s Tower sits on the top of (that make any sense) it’s by the fireplace place, very easy to find but obviously hard to describe. You’d swear I wasn’t born here. For anyone that’s not from our glorious city ask for Joe’s chipper walk up towards the church and you’ll see it on the right hand side!
Boland Solicitors goes live…
Kieran Boland Solicitors in Kilkenny asked me to design a simple website for them.
The key to the design was ease of use and simple navigation, they didn’t want their clients getting lost in the jargon.
The site has recently been launched at www.bolandsolicitors.com
Personalised Posters
Hi All,
I’ve done a few personalised posters for family and friends and have been asked a few times if I do them in general so I have had a think and decided that “yes I do.” So if you would like to surprise someone you love or hate whichever I don’t discriminate but I do rhyme (clearly) with a poster let me know and I’ll give it a go…so
You can contact me on helena@helddesign.ie
or visit helddesign.ie for my number and give me a bell (literally I don’t take cash)
A Touch of Vintage
I am currently working on a job that I decided, after some research, needed photography. So out came the camera. I blew the dust of the lens, screwed in the tripod and went all snap happy.
These are snippet of the results, pretty happy with them. Thinking of changing career to stylist/photographer!
