Famous Fashion Designers - Paul Costello



Irish designer, Paul Costello, one of the famous fashion designers to today, has produced a fantastic season of designs which is reminiscent of the sixties. Aline skirts, structured coats and suits, all beautifully tailored.

If you would like to have more information on Paul and his career, then I suggest you go to the following link http://www.answers.com/topic/paul-costelloe?cat=biz-fin because there is an enormous amount of information there.

Also, if you would like to become one of the famous fashion designers of the future yourself, what are you going to do to get started? Anyone can own their own fashion design business, if they really want to and they can start from their own kitchen table too. To say that it's easy, is an understatement because if you have the desire to do it, you can. Believe me!

Pictures of Kittens - America - Fashion - Tenacity

You're probably wondering what pictures of kittens and America have to do with each other. Well the fact is, an enormous amount. That event which happened on my first visit to beautiful Scotland, has led to everything else I have done, including writing this blog - click here to get the complete story

Just like everyone, I thank God that I have been blessed with a positive outlook in life.

Determination and tenacity are qualities which we all have in abundance but, sometimes they get drown by the enormity of other depressing pressures.

That is when having a sense of humour is also a blessing. Pictures of kittens ...

Man Made Diamonds Jewelry Designs in Ireland

Man Made Diamonds being distributed out of Ireland globally may be a thing of the past if the route from the Shannon to Heathrow is stopped.

Surely the fact that 600 jobs from Element Six alone, are at risk in such a small region has to be given some serious consideration. Thi
s company, formerly De Beers Industrial Diamonds, has employed people in the Shannon area for the last 45 years. This is not to forget the other companies who have also sweated long hours to keep their business afloat in the Shannon area.

How often would they have used this airline route for their distribution services?

The company has been very successful over the years, has brought prosperity to the area and always looking to the future of expanding their Man Made Diamonds business. Now if an alternative is not found, what stress that is going to put on the companies finances.

For more information on man made diamonds - click here.


The move follows the decision of the airline to end the daily route and switch it, instead, to Belfast!

Fine, the route may not be making the money the airline needs to cover the costs at this moment, but how much money has the Man Made Diamonds industry brought into the Shannon area for the airlines in the first place? Have they not heard of a cash forecast?

Callan Art - James Joseph Callan

This is a strange request for me to put on my blog, so please bear with me.

My father, James Joseph Callan, was a Slade trained artist who died in 1976. He had exhibited in many places in Ireland and sold numerous of his paintings worldwide.

I am now doing research to find some of his paintings so that I can get a collection together.

Within the family we have approximately fourteen and it would be wonderful to see some more of his work. Unfortunately all the documentation was destroyed after his death, otherwise the National Library in Dublin were set to catalogue his work.

Towards the end of his life he specialised in minature art with fine art details as well as larger fine art paintings.

If you know anyone who has a James Joseph Callan (JJ Callan) piece of art, please get in touch with me at am.callan@yahoo.co.uk. You can't imagine how grateful I would be! Even to have a sighting of one of his pieces in a public place, ie corporate or hotel etc, would be wonderful.

Thank you, in advance!
