Interior Living was a great shop on MacCurtain Street in Cork. It had the most interesting things for sale, in fact the word “shop” does not describe it at all -everything from stuffed animals to wine and olive oil, contemporary furniture to fedoras and posh tinned tomatoes. It was run by Simone Kelly and Trixi Leahy (in photo) and it sadly closed its doors after Christmas this year when their lease ran out. The good news is – they are still in business  –  contact them online at www.interiorliving.ie

The text below is a short excerpt from a beautiful story by Alice Munro.  When I came across it – it made me think of what Simone and Trixi had created on MacCurtain Street.
