MOSS COTTAGEMain Street, Dundrum, Dublin 14, 01 215 7696, Moss.ie

About the shop: Owner Jen Cleary, who studied interior design at the Liberties College and sculpture at NCAD, opened the shop in Dundrum, after being made redundant three and a half years ago. Her

home wares and gift shop is chock full of crafty supplies including Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and interiors gifts. What to expect: Described as granny-chic mixed with industrial style, the owner openly admits to loving fl owery, spotty designs and plenty of colour as well as industrial metals such as copper, gun metal and pewter. Some of her candle holders double as plant holders, so you can pop a cactus in after the candle has burned out. Stock also includes outdoor lights and copper lanterns along with quirky storage solutions, such as the metal baskets (pictured), which fi t in with the copper trend.Highlights: We’re big fans of these gold wire crates, €64.95 and the gold birdcage candle holders, €14.95. Not only does Jen curate everything you need for parties or DIY projects - she’s also busy coming up with her own creations and will launch her own notebook range in-store by late August.
