Essie Letterpress

Being the image junkie that I am, it is no surprise that I am totally in LOVE with the work created by Essie Letterpress. I saw them at Kamersvol not so long ago and am delighted to know that they will be in my neighbourhood again soon. I am not a woman of many words and often say that a picture can speak a thousand words; so I'll let these pictures do just that.

You can find them  at the The Treasury Christmas Market on the 1st of December at the Oude Libertas in Stellenbosch or visit their website, online shop or blog. 

Here are a few more images borrowed from the Essie Letterpress blog:

I will definitely be at the Treasury Market on the 1st of December to get myself one of those notebooks with the beautifully designed cover!

Happy day!

The one thing I love about exhibitions like Kamersvol Geskenke (translate: Rooms Filled with Gifts) is that it allows me to discover fabulous local talent. LEIPZIG is practically my neighbour and I only discover them now. One of the best kept floral secrets it seems... They are a team of six very creative and talented young ladies, devoting themselves passionately to wedding and function design. Read there blog here or visit their website here.

Weddings - wedding favours

When it comes to wedding favours, my personal choice would be something that is not edible and if it must be, then in packaging like glass (see pic below). A small gift that will last for a few months to come, or even longer - just to remind your guests of the special day they shared with you.....

The hardest part is to decide which one of these ideas to follow; but we're having loads of fun doing the research. I will post something about weddings from time to time until the big day; just to share with you....

Happy day!
