Gorgeous in Kilkenny

Kilkenny is a beautiful city, with a long tradition of good design and jewellery shops. (Rudolf Heltzel's studio was one of the first jewellery designer shops in the country.) I spent a very enjoyable day in the city last week and each time I visit I discover new shops and cafes. One shop that opened last summer is Gorgeous on John St. and in a city with such a great choice of boutiques, this one really stood out. With many unusual gifts it's the perfect destination for wedding or house warming gifts. I bought some tapered candles by Ester and Erik, they were irresistible and beautifully displayed in their original dipping trays.
