Guest blogger, Cassandra

Hi everyone ! My name is Cassandra, I'm a 20 years old french girl who just arrived a couple of days ago in Ireland. From now and for 2 months, I will work in Lucy's lounge to show you a little french point of view.
I will be a guest blogger and accompany you for a couple of weeks, hope you'll enjoy !

Me :)

My first post will be about Bernie's hats. Upstairs to the shop, this native Irish woman create handmade hats but also clothes, handbags, scarfs and things for the home. She has 30 years of experience and she is still creating everyday for the pleasure of her customers. If you want to meet her and discover her creations, she's in Lucy's lounge 3 days a week.

Let me show you some of the hats she has created and enjoy it ! It all comes from recycled clothes so it's very cheap ! Very nice !

This is Bernie

This is street of the shop Lucys lounge. You can't miss it, it's the pink building !

So, what do you think ? These are beautiful. Like you could see on the photos, it's sunny today in Dublin ! A great day to take photos and have a nice cup of tea through Temple bar. This is a nice place, music and pubs everywhere ! Besides, this area is so colorful, you can see green, blue, and pink buildings in the same street ! Really crazy, I love Dublin for that.
When I heard "Ireland", the thing that came me in mind was "rain" and "Guinness". But now I'm living here, I realize this is completely ridiculous. Of course, there are rain and Guiness but there are so much things to do ! In these days we had the sun which was very nice for walk through the city. People are so friendly and helpful. Why ? Because the first day I was in Dublin I was completely lost : big street, the crowd, noise. And then two people came to me : "You look lost. Let us help you. Where do you want to go ?" I think without their help I would be lost again today ! Thanks to them (just in case they come and read me !)

So this is what I think about Dublin right now. Great place and pleasant atmosphere ! See you soon with new stories and photos !

 A french customer, very nice
