List: Cupboard Stocktake

on Fridays I make lists. Today I did a stocktake of my food shelf

not even a teabag to my name!

I don't really fancy getting scurvy so think it's time to make another list - a grocery list - and go shopping

have a lovely weekend!

Animal-prints of a different variety: tangram cats, photographed horses and tapestry dogs make for a nice change from leopard-print ♥

Thank you everyone for coming to support my stall at the City Bowl Market this weekend! It was great to do a market again (it's been so long!) and to get so much positive feedback!

EXCITING NEWS: Scrabbyl loved my LookBook and will be selling pieces from the range at the SA Fashion Week Pop-Up Shop this week! It's in Sandton so I've just put my precious pretties in a box and am holding thumbs everything arrives safe and sound. She'll be sharing a stall with Parooz Fashions so if you or a friend will be in Jo'burg this weekend please go have a look ♥

P.S. I was walking up my road, just smiling and thinking 'MAN, LIFE IS GOOD', when I glanced down and found this at my feet

how nice!

I don't believe in angels but if I did I'd thank them for all their blessed kisses (in real life I can just imagine some barefoot Obz hippie bursting with kind thoughts and smiles as they drop angel cards with sweet messages around Lower Main Road).

kalk bay walk

Last week we went on a family outing to Kalk Bay and I was reminded of how nice it is. When I was in high school we used to catch the train there on the last day of term to have fish & chips followed by an ice-cream (what can I say, we were wild!). 

 

I spied this book in the window of a great second-hand shop

So I don't have a DIY to share with you BUT I did spend the day being crafty...

Wouldn't these be the prettiest business cards?

They're not finished yet, when I'm done they'll all look something like this
