Changes

A while back, I went shopping with my friend Yvonne. She wanted me to take pictures of a sweater that she designed and made, and I was looking for a dress to wear to a charity event that I am going to in April. So, we went to the Debenham's that used to be the Roches store. They didn't have any dresses that I liked. I then suggested that we go to the Debenham's in Jervis street shopping centre because they usually have a bigger selection of formal dresses. When we got there, there were signs all over the windows saying it was closing down! There was almost no stock left over but a big crowd of people looking through what was there. We spent about 2 minutes inside, decided that we couldn't handle the crowds and disorganization, and went and got smoothies. I then took pictures of her in the sweater and we went home.

The next day, John and I decided to go see what the sales were like on Nassau Street. We walked down the street and saw that Eason's had closed. They were there in December when we both did our Christmas shopping. And the Blarney Woolen Mills had closed as well, with a sign saying it was relocating to Eason's. AND Reads had signs saying it was relocating to the Blarney Woolen Mills building! All of these stores were open a month before!

It is amazing to me how much turnover in stores there is in Dublin. It seems like we always see "closing down" or "opening soon" signs...
