I’ve been pretty strict with myself with this blog in that I have tried to keep it entirely to craft related topics but I’m going to go slightly off topic to tell you about Limerick Pride which is being held from Sunday the 7th September to Sunday 14th. The proceeds of all the events are going to Rainbow Support Services. One of their services is a volunteer run coffee dock where people can drop in whenever they want for a chat and a coffee. I suppose it’s not entirely off topic since once a week the coffee dock kindly let us crafters take over the comfy couches for our Stitch ‘n’ Bitch. The parade on Saturday will be a must see, it’s a great day out and it’s so much more fun than those boring St. Patrick’s Day Parades. If you’re in Limerick at any stage over the week, please try to support some of the events.

Thanks for posting about Pride, Marian.
:bounces:
Breda Lynch is helping RSS to curate the auction pieces. The Garden Party & Art Auction is run my Rainbow Support Services as it’s main fundraising vehicle. I think it’s in its 14th year now! First time in absolutely ages that it’s been held in a city centre location. The auction itself is on Sunday 7th.
Breda’s own work will be on display in her studio space upstairs in Leamy House where Rainbow Support Services is based and where the post-pride partying will be. It’ll be a must see and the official launch of her studio space. From 2 - 5pm on Saturday 13th - pretty much straight after the parade.
Ooohhh I’m so excited.
Thank you from the bottom of my rainbow filled heart for going off topic.
