A Happy Story

A while ago, Jeanine Hays of Aphrochic asked me if I knew how she could get hold of some porcupine quill lampshades!
Soon, 2 readers came up with some suggestions. Jeanine says she now has some on order and will let me know when they arrive! How lovely to help each other out from opposite sides of the world!

The first place I thought of looking was Cecile and Boyd - a homeware store in Durban .They did not have the lampshades we were looking for - But it is one of my most inspiring Decor Destinations.

A Real Work of Art

My last post of the year is going to feature one of my favourite works of art...

A recent Americano [Lungo] which I enjoyed at Mark Gold in Durban! Besides designing stunning jewellery, they really know how to make an excellent cup of coffee!
