We had a couple hours to wander on our own and as part of that we stopped in the design center here to do a little browsing. It is a little pricier than some shops but very well curated and that's why. Lovely artisan jewelry, scarves, caps, pottery, crystal, sweaters, soaps and such. A great place to bring home a nice keepsake that you'll enjoy for years to come. My mom bought a pretty cross necklace and I regret not purchasing an elegant pair of sterling silver and Connemara marble earrings during our visit but I really enjoyed our short time in Kilkenny, and would have liked much more time to explore it's interesting history, so I guess I'll just have to make my way back sometime!

I was actually more interested in the K Foley leather shop in back, but they were closed on this recent Sunday afternoon. Gayle jokes that I've never met a gift shop I didn't like. That might be largely true, but the offerings of one either hit me or they don't. In the case of the 2-part Kilkenny Design Center, it didn't and not for the lack of trying! Cute Irish stuff, but not today.

It had wall to wall packed collectibles, china, jewelry, linens, furniture and lots of other finds. It was the dusty, dirty, piled to the ceiling place that a true antiques and vintage lover seeks out above all else when traveling! I purchased a terrific 1940s Czech cocktail ring in a brilliant cobalt blue glass! It's just stunning and I got a great price. The shopkeeper was very friendly and happy to make the sale. I'll be back if I'm ever in the area, for sure.

When my friend informed me that there was a new vintage shop opened in temple bar I was hesitant to even check it out as at this stage they have all become quite samey to me and sometimes the things are really not worth the expense they will incur on your purse!! Well I was pleasantly surprised as this store has something for all and prices for all!! I was out to spend money that day but I didn't feel like blowing €100 on a "Vintage" dress. When I walked in I seen that this place was HUGE and divided into section as with the site itself. I am quite rock chic at the best of times and the Vintage frocks that are sold at most of these places do not suit me as I am 5ft 1 and "Curvy" and therefore cannot pull off the length or print of most of these dresses. I was so happy to see they had a little rock section with gorgeous cut sleeve dress/tops and really rock chic jewelry. They have there formal boutique that has stunning dresses out back and there amazing home section. If nothing else I would say check the place out even for a window shop. It really does have something for all!!!

We saw a huge store through the windows looking downward at all the merchandise for sale - household wares, clothing, and a large supermarket (photo: http://bit.ly/2lCMTsc). There's just something about exploring a supermarket in a foreign land that gets me all giddy. Seriously. This market was huge and looked very much like any American supermarket toward the Whole Foods end of the spectrum. I knew I was in Ireland when I saw the extensive collection of whiskey on the shelves in the liquor section (photo: http://bit.ly/2mWrRVH). Faith and begorrah. As we crossed over to the meat section, everything was labeled Irish - Irish gammon steak, Irish back bacon joint, Irish chicken (photo: http://bit.ly/2lCSTRN). Proud stock they are on the Emerald Isle. Obviously proud of their meat. We just shopped for almost healthy snacks like chocolate-dipped rice cakes for the next day's road trip across the country to Dingle. Those were portable and tasty. Coincidentally, Dunnes was a takeover target of the Walton family at the turn of the millennium, but Ireland's major store chain remains family-run, presumably a wealthy family given there are over 125 stores in the chain. We found the stores so convenient that we ended up stopping at Dunnes in Galway and Dublin for our travel snacks.

The supermarket was my favorite part as there's a great selection of meats, dairy products, sweets (candy, cookies, fresh baked cakes), coffee, teas, soda, chips... You name it.a great place for a tourist to see a European supermarket and to try the food! Also - this Dunnes has an awesome parking lot that is very convenient especially if you want to see the city centre.

Why people should buy on line NOT our local toy shop. I put…read moreaside approx 250 euro of toys (mostly lego) as they have a Christmas club in early October. I paid 50euro deposit on that day.I kept the receipt & my mobile number was on the top of the page. My reason was its a family run business & support local to keep jobs & revenue in Ireland. Since then I have been buying other toys ie lego even a week ago & I had found it conveint while in the city to buy kids birthday present . I was in Toy Master (Crotty's ) kilkenny today following change of mind of my 4 yrs old & what Santa might be bringing & was abruptly told that the toys should have been collected yesterday 10.12.17. The girl A.M advised her male collage that was standing at the counter she had written to be collected on 10.12.17 on the top of the receipt but questioned was I collecting them today . I explained as the receipt was in a different handbag I had forgotten the date but could pay & collect them now. As I explained to A.M. the change of mind from the bat mobile to coastguard, pizza truck etc .. She asked if I knew the codes but I said I would know the lego boxes to view & I went upstairs to get same off the shelve.The gentleman got the pizza truck while I picked up the other 3 lego boxes. When I went down stairs to precede to checkout with changing the bat mobile to the city police etc she was very unhelpful & made me feel I was inconveniently taking her time. (with only 1-2 others in the shop..no queues) Also when she took out the 2 items that my son no longer needed ,1 item was through on the shelf behind her in an aggressive manner. I asked if I could have black bags as there own toy master bags are very light weight & I did not want others to see what I was buying. This was then repeated by A.M to her male collage SHE WANTS BLACK BAGS...as much to say not only is she changing her mind but now she wants black bags. 1of the black bag was tore but I differently was NOT asking for another as they both could not get me out of this shop quick enough!! Where do you start ...BUY ON LINE AND YOU DONT GET THAT IGNORENCE... As the manager was the male collage no point in complaining..... If it was a problem I didn't drive in the snow & ice to collect santa toys on the 10.12.17 then why didn't she ring me as my mobile was on the receipt.. I spent in total 285 euro for santa & approximately 600 euro throughout the year in total. Thank god Ken black is in kilkenny as I will be not be back in toy master kilkenny.

You might not need any of that but you've probably got a happy couple or mother in law or best friend to buy for - well, this is the place! There's also a small but beautiful collection of women's clothes and lingerie on the first floor and all things baby on the second. Love seeing places like this open in New Ross!
