So this Bank Holiday weekend has snuck up on us fairly fast, so fast in fact, that there's a distinct lack of plans in the OFD office, it looks like it's going to be a lazy weekend so hopefully this weather holds. We might just squeeze in a little stroll around the shops though, and if any of you are thinking likewise and in sunny South East by any chance you might like to pop into the first of our Stuff We Love this week - the lovely Ruby Rouge in Gorey, Co. Wexford. If you're not down south, fear not, our other fave finds this week are easily accessible from where you sit now...
