Westport Ireland

It's magic, the land, the food, the vintage finds but mostly the people:::::


I am touring through Ireland- taking it all in, even though I've been before it's captivating , just like the first time


We started in Westport today touring the antique stores:::::


How sweet the buildings are, so very charming







Ohhhhh I really wanted this table, but how to get home?




My Travel buddy bought the full set of china, from the late 1800's

it is AMAZING



Here he is::: he looks like he belongs here



Ashford Castle, we have been calling it home for the past 3 days

It is truly majestic and surreal






one of my random artsy shots;)



everything looks so great against the green green backdrop of Ireland






Off for a hike through the forest, my favorite part of the day
