I want to ask if there is anyone who is still looking to have a Christmas stall at the White Lady Art gallery in Temple Bar, as we still have some tables left for our indoor market, and it starts in Friday.
I want to have arts and crafts, hand-made Christmas presents, and lots of lovely Christmas cheer to keep everyone going in the cold! 
it will be our first market, but we are plugging it like crazy, and it’s going to be a good one for sure!

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you all know that from the 30th November, and on every Saturday until Christmas, the Artists Gift Gallery will be running exclusive Christmas markets upstairs in the gallery. It’s a great opportunity to come in and meet some of the designers, see their extended range and avail of special discounts on the day.
The markets should make for an enjoyable festive afternoon, a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy a glass of mulled wine while learning a bit more about the artists and their products, maybe find that more personal gift. There will be different artists featured each weekend so a bit of variety too. Do pop in for a browse at some different and unique gifts, all handmade in Ireland.
I have included an itinerary of the market schedule below, so you can see what might interest you. There will be some surprises and new artists joining too so keep an eye on the facebook page for updates….www.facebook.ie/artistsgiftgalleryie.
Oh…more exciting news!! The website will finally be up and running this weekend so for those of you who would rather stay out of the cold altogether, we have a fantastic range online and you can have it delivered directly to your door…check out www.artistsgiftgallery.ie. Happy browsing 
We look forward to seeing you!!

The Paperstraw is an Irish based blog with art and craft tutorials, plus natural beauty and vegetarian food recipes. While many of the tutorials can be made with everyday recycled items, there is also a small shop attached for crafting materials such as paper punches, patterned paper, stamp and inks etc. I am not trying to stock a whole art shop on line, rather the types of things you might look for when making DIY decorations, gift wrapping and scrapbooking.
There is also a section on the site entitled features, where I hope to speak with other crafts enthusiasts and do a photo stories on some of their work.
All content on The Paperstraw is created by me - Lisa Byrne - written and photographic - I am a former newspaper features writer, photography graduate and all round crafts lover!
