I went to the Sanlam Food Wine Design Fair in Hyde Park on Thursday night and I treated my eyes and my stomach to some very nice things. This years fair was bigger and and even better than last years and all I can say is that I’m sad that it only happens once a year, would be cool if it was ever few months.
Just saw Dear Rae’s luxury range on my friend Andrew’s site. I thought the pieces and photos were too pretty now to share with you guys. She will be selling this line at the Food Wine Design Fair this weekend, so if you’re going to visit, you should stop and say hi, maybe try one or two shiny things on.
There are 2 pieces that I love, the little red point ring and the grey one just below. They’re all beautiful, but those are my favourite. I also think the wreaths they made for this photo shoot are amazing. Nice nice nice.
Ok It’s monday and I have chosen my winners for the Sanlam Food Wine Design Fair. I read through everyones entries, but it was hard trying to pick one because everyone has cool ideas for what they would do with the cash. So I chose the good old fashion way, using lady luck. I filmed it so you can see that it was all legit.
The 2013 Sanlam Investments FoodWineDesign Fair is coming up really really soon and from what i’ve read about it, this year is going to be a goody. They have expanded and are hosting over 100 talented exhibitors who are all bringing their best food, wine, design and artisanal works of art to the Hyde Park rooftop.
You can expect all sorts of goodies from Missibaba bags to Dear Rae jewellery to woven blankets from the Barrydale Hand Weavers to prints from Skinny laMinx to pesto magic from Italy’s pesto champion, Roberto Panizza to wines from Marvelous Wine to beautiful home ware from Anatomy and Goet and the list goes on and on and on and on.
On Saturday, at the Food Wine Design fair, I was lured into the Missibaba stand by all it’s wonderfulness and I bought myself my very first Missibaba bag. There were so many that I would of snapped up in a flash, but then I wouldn’t have made rent this month and none of them were big enough for me to live in.
I got this watermelon/orange/pinky/navy blue lovely, which I can tell is going to be my new best friend.
Damn it, Miss Missibaba is one talented face.
I think I really want a Workhorse bag, next time The Missibaba train comes to Joburg, I’m going to be on it.

Last night I went to the Food Wine Design Fair in Hyde Park. There was some very very rad stuff there, which i’m sure a lot of you will like. I took photos of the things I thought were cool, have a look and see what you think. Met nice people like Karin, she makes the beautifully delicate rings pictured below. Met Marietjie from Skermunkil properly, what a sweet face. Her new gold range is amazing -love the gold swan, it’s so very sweet and gold. Shane’s cousin Luke was there. Him and his business partner make the coolest furniture, you have to take a minute and check out their site. I’m not going to write about all the people i’ve included in this post. I have written their names next to their products in case you want to googlrize them. Which would be totally worth it, cause their stuff is crazycool.
We didn’t go around tasting wine, that section was pretty busy, but we did try to see if we could at least move the red plane. Forget about it! It wasn’t going anywhere.
If you have nothing to do this weekend and want to eye out some cool stuffs then I would suggest going to this shindig, it was pretty fun. Over and out x
