Mothers Day as we see it, is the ‘official’ day of the year when our mammys get to relax and enjoy a well-earned show of appreciation and love. Obviously none of us can do what our mothers do each day, but on Sunday Mar 14th we can sure try.
As a guide, It’s the small things that count. Think about what your mother would normally do during the day and either do it for her or offer a helping hand.
Breakfast in bed! The classic treat is a great start to Mother’s day!
Try to make every event of the day as easy and pleasurable for mom as possible.
Only when we show the sort of care and love she shows us all every day do we do the easy part, giving flowers and chocolates.
Drop in for lunch at the Design Centre Restaurant and let us treat all mothers to complimentary home-made Dessert with Tea or Coffee after their lunch before a stroll in the Castle Park.

‘Fairtrade Fortnight’ is running until March 7 and its theme is ‘The Big Swap’!
The campaign is aimed at highlighting the continued growth of Fairtrade Sales in Ireland.
The Big Swap suggests we swap our usual choice of brands for those with the ‘Fairtrade mark’.
To celebrate Fair Trade Fortnight (22nd Feb-7th March), Kilkenny City Council is hosting a Fair Trade Talk on Friday the 26th of February in City Hall at 2.30pm. Representatives from Fairtrade Mark Ireland will speak to provide an update on Irish Fair Trade promotional activities before Josephat Sylvand, a coffee exporter from Tanzania speaks about the benefits that local co-ops receive from selling their coffee produce under Fair Trade terms.
The event will be hosted by Mayor Malcolm Noonan and a cup of Fair Trade Tea/Coffee will follow after the hour talk. The Kilkenny Fair Trade Steering Committee would be delighted for you to attend to hear about Fair Trade and the Fair Trade Status of Kilkenny City. To reserve a seat for this event or to get more information on the current Fair Trade status of Kilkenny City,
Call Bernadette Moloney on 056-7794487.
You can try the delicious Fairtrade coffees and teas here at Kilkenny Design. Drop by and pick up some information about what Fair Trade is all about.
Kilkenny Design are proud to support the farmers and producers who supply our coffee and teas through the exceptional work of the Fairtrade Movement.

Cello by Colin Reed. A step closer will reveal something very different!
At Kilkenny Design when someone mentions glass we readily think Jerpoint, Waterford or Tipperary. But a collection of incredible glass art is on exhibition next door in the National Craft Gallery.
‘On The Edge’ opened on January 16th and is an exhibition of contemporary glass works from Ireland and South-West England.
Part of the aim of On The Edge is
“to give each artist space for blue-skying-the chance to make something specific for the show or exhibit work that is something from themselves.”
- Mary Mackey, artist and co-curator
While these artists may use a similar process to their counterparts from our esteemed commercial crystal makers, the end work on display here is a world apart from whats displayed on our shelves. The ‘Other World’ look of pieces such as Colin Reid’s ‘Cello’ (image) is in itself a hidden treasure, where the viewer can see a very different form depending upon the angel you take.
These words won’t conjure up the amazing transparent spectacle of ‘On The Edge’ now on display at the the National Craft Gallery in the Castle Yard.
The more practical, everyday use glassware for the home continues on permanent display at Kilkenny Design Craft Cente.

The Phone Tour

Angels of Hope soaking up the atmosphere at Kilkenny Castle
We are delighted to see the castle brightened up with the presence of Angels. The colourful collaboration assembled in Kilkenny last Monday is part of a national tour bringing a message of Hope.
These are no ordinary angels, not sent from heaven but the work of human hands. The mere mortals behind the exhibition are gods in the eyes of some and this host of Irish and international celebs include, Neil Jordan, Uma Thurman, The Edge, Ryan Tubridy, Brendan Gleeson, Gerry Ryan, Diarmuid Gavin, Lisa Fitzpatrick, Tommy Tiernan, Ross O’Carroll-Kelly, Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy, Hector O’hEochagain and Katherine Lynch.
The angels stand 8 feet high as beacons bringing messages of hope to Ireland. The Project hopes to raise funds for the chosen charities of Gaisce, First Step Georgia and Right to Sight
See them in Kilkenny Castle until Jan 31st.
