When I started this Christmas card project in 2022 never did I think it would raise £50,000 for @womensaidni.bsky.social in just a couple of years but with your support that’s what we’ve done to this point. Looking forward to seeing what we add to that this year.

Dropped a collection into Brown Thomas earlier. Looks beaut.
Got this brooch last week from a seller in London, marked on the back ‘E Johnson, Dublin’. Googled it. Edwardian era, jeweller based in 94/95 Grafton Street. Replaced by Switzers, then by Brown Thomas. Small world.
