My favourite room: 'He fans the flames under my wings' - Jeweller Madeleine Blaine on finding love after tragedy and life in a 1940s Dublin house
"Jeweller Madeleine Blaine spent many years in Mexico learning everything about her craft. Now she has businesses both selling jewellery and teaching others how to make it, as well as the perfect workshop at her 1940s home near Stoneybatter"
