This is Jo’s new kitty cat. He squealed like a little hairy pig when we picked him up for photo time and then he hid in the shoe cupboard. Shame he’s so sweet looking.
Hello Harold, Aunty Angie loves you.
When I was in Cape Town for Gina’s wedding a little while back the girls and I went shopping one day for fun and to see how much money we could spend on unnecessary things – that’s always the best kind of shopping ha!
Anyway, Marina and Karen spotted this little fella and knew to call me over immediately. He was in my sweaty little hands before I could even say ” oooooooh what a sweet little brooch”.
So seeing as today felt quite Wintery, I thought I would whip him out for a little collar action. I’m quite looking forward to Winter, I have many collars and many things to attach to them.Anyone looking forward to be a bit of cold?

Bang bang! Don’t shoot, you might break something.
January 23, 2012If you read my blog you will know that I have a slight obsession with all things ceramic. Here are a few pieces i’ve spotted along the way that I wouldn’t mind getting my obessed little paws on.
Love this teapot by Dennis Shields. If someone doesn’t make your tea just the way you like it, you can conveniently take them the hell out, without even having to get up. Bang bang.
This wonderful piece of art by Makiko Nakamura.
These great wedding cake toppers. If I had known these exsisted 3 years ago, I so would of ordered one. Anyone getting married soon and in need of the best cake topper in the world that will have even your boring-est aunt oohing and aaa-ing over it?
Found these absolutely beautiful porcelain mobiles by LE PETIT ATELIER DE PARIS on the Pretty Pretty blog. The wolf one is my most favourite, he has a pet cat and his own camera, it’s me, by ceramic wolf me.
My friend Adriana makes these pretty pieces, she draws so well. Hello Adriana xx
She also pointed me in the direction of this little guy, who in turn led me to the salt and pepper sailing boats.
Let’s face it I could go on forever with this post, but I think I’ll end here before I bore you all to ceramic death.

Dear Mr. Tretchikoff, welcome to my house.
January 11, 2012I raided my granny’s house when I was in Zimbabwe. Obviously. I got a few really nice pieces, which she was very happy to give me because I’m her lovely grand daughter hee. I bought home this Tretchikoff print, the frame has seen better days, but I kind of like it all disheveled. My aunt who lives in Springs has a really big one like this in a big gold frame, I drool over it every time I go there and she has promised that one day it will be mine. So pretty.
I also asked if I could take 2 of her wedding photos. Back in the day everyone always looked so composed and classic, I wish our pictures now looked like these.
I have never written about this gran before, this is my dad’s mom and she is one tough cookie, I will say no more ha. My grandfather unfortunately passed away quite a few years ago, he was cool grandfather. My fondest memories of him are the bike rides he used to take us on. I have such an awesome picture of me, my brother and my grandfather on is bike – I must find it and add it to this post.
I love the flowergirls outfits and hats.
