Hi. My name is Joanne Fennell and I write about things I love - Home Interiors | Flowers | Food | Travel | all things pretty & gorgeous, vintage, shabby chic, french inspired & scandinavian style interiors. I recently moved back to Ireland to the village that I grew up in (after being away for 20 years) so now its life in the 'slow lane'. I jumped out of IT and into setting up an Online Home & Gift Boutique - eBoutique.ie and in 2011 launched a Home and Gift brand called Island Living.
Thanks for popping by and if you'd like to get in contact please drop me a line on info@eboutique.ie.
