The Irish Abroad ~ Part 1

Over the past few months, I have been inundated with messages, calls, texts, letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, smoke signals and pigeons about whether or not The Temple Wolf can create The Éire necklace with the heart in different positions. The Wolf listened, and today, is delighted to announce that I am launching 4 different versions of The Éire. Now you can declare your allegiance to Ulster, Munster, Leinster or Connaught! We all know which one is best though... To celebrate the launch of the new Éire range, I asked Irish women living abroad to answer a few questions about their life. Part 1 features two lovely ladies who are representing the Irish in London and Hong Kong. 1. Jessica Garland-Blake...

KBC WedFest 2017

I'm delighted to annouce that THE TEMPLE WOLF will be hosting a stand at this year's KBC WedFest.  This event is run by an Irish company called Green Shoes Events.  #kbcwedfest2017 is an alternative wedding festival, focused on creating the day you want outside of the traditional cookie-cutter template.

After a recommendation from a friend, we headed toward the Avon Rí hotel where the walk begins. Famished after our long journey of 20 minutes, we headed straight for the restaurant where we (I) decided to sit outside. The view was STUNNING! (Sozzzy, don't have a pic!) After about 15 minutes of pretending we didn't have goosebumps on every inch of our bodies and that the arrival of a rather loud group of children and their entourage didn't bother us, we headed back inside. The food was okay... There was...

Brands that have inspired me ~ Part 2

  They say the admitting you have a problem is the first step. If that's the case then I'm in full admission swing! Here I go with Part Deux of the brands that I love. In the Summer of 2013, I found constant references were being made to a new shop called Shutterbug. Shutterbug was based in Kilkenny and was the brainchild of Blanaid Hennessy. If you Google her, you'll see why I have a slight obsession with her! It stocked mainly vintage items at the time. Their range of quirky yet wearable clothes (which often, vintage stores don't have) were sold at a price that I was able to afford. I harassed my mother long enough for her to...
