I Want That - crochet

One of my favourite local bloggers "I Want That" posted about crochet and I love these pics so much!! Going to finish my first cushion and move onto making loads and loads of pot holders next....

For now, feast your eyes on this!!

Gorgeous isn't it???

Idea for my next project - what I love about these pot holders is that you can finish one in such a short time; instant results, yeah!

Happy Day!

House Doctor

I am totally in love. On the same online shopping site I wrote about here, I saw these beautiful designs by house doctor
and just couldn't stop looking.

Besides fabulous furniture, they also have soft furnishing, clothes and accessories, storage, lamps and lighting, kitchen supplies and much, much more. Is it right to desire all these things (?), because I would go crazy if let loose in their store.



Absolutely fabulous; don't you agree?

P.S.
follow their blog here
or facebook

BODIE and FOU

I found this online boutique and sat for ages, drooling over all the cool stuff they have on offer. You can follow their blog here or you can head on over to the online shop and shop till you drop. Run by two French sisters, I am not surprised - totally in awe of their eye for detail and the quality products they have for sale.
A bonus for us in the southern hemisphere is that they ship all around the World!! Yeah!!! I think I might just blow my budget completely here.....





I want that bed linen, I want that lovely distressed wood wallpaper and I saw gorgeous white pendant lights that I want soooo bad..... Sigh!!

I honestly don't know how I managed to stumble upon this website, but I'm sure happy that I did. Just look at the sweetest button badges.



cute elephant flask



cheerful melamine cups




funky lunch boxes and tins




tea for two (or more)



decoration for you little princess's room





Besides these cute melamine cups and funky lunch boxes and cases they have lovely floormats, rugs, lighting, kids clothing and much, much more. With summer on the way for many of you (in the North) there's a great variety of picnic ware and such. Just imagine a picnic on the beach with these bright and cheerful tableware. I'm almost jealous...

Market day

Market day was finally here. I had my first market experience at The Treasury Market in Stellenbosch on Friday night and Saturday morning. What a lovely experience! We had a lot of people coming through to shop, with live entertainment on the Friday night. There was plenty of wonderful stuff to choose from; a shoppers' dream! (I did my fair share of shopping too, of course!)

Here's what my table looked like:










I learned a lot from this experience, and will know what to expect; made a few mistakes too, but that's how we learn. For now, I'm looking forward to 9 February for the next market. Watch this space!

More cute little projects

Here are a few more cute little cushions I'v been busy with...





I have a son, but even he is not exempt from having one of these on his bed. And he's LOVING IT! The one I made for him has a more boyish theme though...
