Me, Elsewhere: Dublin in The Simple Things

March 12, 2013

simple things

With all the writing I do around the internet, it’s really lovely to see some of my words in print! And even better to be writing about my wonderful adopted city in a magazine I really respect.

The Simple Things is a new magazine from the lovely people who created Mollie Makes, a sweet crafty magazine on this side of the ocean. It’s all about enjoying the simple things in life. For example, there’s a little snippet in this issue about the importance of lullabies that I’ve been remembering fondly all week.

I had the chance to share a little about my life in Dublin in a different way than a usual city guide. They were curious about things like what the light was like and what’s the best meal to eat out in Dublin. It was lovely to answer those kinds of questions and share some of the loveliest bits of my adopted city. It was also incredibly exciting to have my name alongside some of my favorite bloggers who have written beautiful stories for The Simple Things lately.

You can find The Simple Things in bookstores in America as well as Dublin and the UK. In fact, I got a message from a reader who found it in Australia last week! You can also download The Simple Things app for your iPad or iPhone.

    Hi Emily! I picked up a copy of this magazine on my travels after you recommended it and I just LOVED it. I’ve done a brief post on it (and your Dublin article) on my blog. Thanks for sharing!

    I subscribe to Simple Things here in Kentucky, USA. I was excited to read your article on Dublin, as my husband and I had been there somewhat recently. What excited me more was to see that you are from that same small corner of the world as us – central Maine! While we are from other towns (Waterville and Fairfield) in that area, we own a camp (aka “summer home”) on China Lake and are quite familiar with China Village. Thanks for the great article on Dublin. And thank you for your blog and always reminding me of my favorite places. I wish you continued success!

      Sherrie – what a very small world! I lived the first year of my life in Fairfield and went to high school and college in Waterville. How wonderful that a UK magazine could connect us from these far corners of the world!
