No no dear readers, there is no new man in my life – the Rik man is still very much in the picture. Nic Harry is all about socks! And socks for dudes no less. You may be asking me why I (a woman) am so obsessed with socks for men, well I’ll tell you […]
Oh boy am I lucky, I am starting a collection of crockery that I (and most people who see them) covet. I am the proud owner of 4 plates and 6 bowls from the very talented Mariana Serfontein Pottery. Rik’s mom has spoilt us with these treasures and I absolutely adore setting the table with […]
Introducing my latest kitchen tool – meet Nessie. She loves to hang out in a big bowl of soup. She looks great in any pot and compliments plenty of colours! Cute isn’t she?
It may not seem like it, but Christmas is one of my most favourite times of the year. To be fair the last few years I have been slack with the Christmas vibes, hardly any presents were bought, no tree put up, very few Christmas parties and just a general slackness with my Christmassy spirit. […]

Yes that is correct. Those are nose flutes and yes I made them. Smart hey? First off you are probably wondering why on earth I would make a nost flute, let alone three. Let me explain … Good friends of mine started dating and one night we were watching an episode of The Amazing Race. […]
I found this pic on my phone the other day and I thought I’d share it. A friend surprised me with these lovely potted herbs as a present for my birthday in Feb. She bought the plants and then repotted them in those cool little tin buckets, she even made sure to make holes in […]
