If you’re in Kalk Bay, you can find my brooches and lots of other beautifully handcrafted items at Blossom in Colyn Rd.
Here they are in the shop.
I felt these gorgeous scarf rings - they’re sooo soft and I’m sure they would feel wonderful against the skin on the neck - unlike many awful scratchy fabrics and labels in winter.
My sister lives near Wilderness in the Garden Route on the South coast of South Africa, just under 500km from Cape Town. My mom also stays near by and I try to visit 3-4 times a year because I need to see my family at least that often and also because I looove the area and fantasize about living there again (I also lived there for a couple of years) one day.
My sister is super artistically talented and has her own business making leather goods. She uses epoxy clay to decorate many of her items and carves incredibly fine detail into it. I also used to work with the same clay and have no idea how she does what she does.

As I have confessed before, I’m still new to blogging and sharing and having a presence on the web so it is very exciting for me when I am featured in someone’s Etsy treasury or their blog and I can’t very well keep it to myself, so I will be sure to be using my blog as a boasting platform, if you don’t mind. Hey, you have to take your fame where you can get it!
So here are the 2 most recent:
On Little Pink Pebble’s Etsy Finds
Littlepinkpebble is an illustrator and I just love this painting from her Etsy shop:
I’m sure I must’ve had this dream / fantasy. It reminds me of The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I just couldn’t wait for them to find that library. Imagine what’s in those books… ancient stories, accounts of faeries, lists of names, amazing inventions, secret societies… I feel kindof funny looking at this painting and thinking about it.
And then my heart brooches were featured on Wren’s blog too - hooray!
