Property prices may be falling but these bird houses are in great demand.
They are but one of hundreds of covetable items to be found in The Blue Door in Naas, run by the affable Eileen and Peter Kelly. It's stocked to the brim with gorgeous fabrics, table accessories, felted wool tea cosies and Christmas trees, wallclocks, cushions and, oh!, Swedish furniture with a soaped, oiled or natural tempera paint finish. It's a perfect shop, where you could do almost all your gift-buying under the one roof. You'll find it in Wolfe Tone Street, right around the corner from Marks Spencer (Tel: 045 901573) or go on line to order from www.thebluedoordirect.ie .
