I have just blogged about the talented Mariette Bergh on itswhatiminto. If you would like to see more of her beautiful art this monday morning, all you have to do is click here…. enjoy
Oh I will clap my hands alright! I have loved this band for the longest time and I was so chuffed to find out that they are coming to good old South Africa and soon.
I have attached one of my most favourite songs, The Skin Of My Yellow Country Teeth – the lead singers voice is crazy good, it’s not what you would expect when you look at his picture and I bet you it’s a voice you wouldn’t have heard anywhere else before. It’s hill-billish, but in a good way, in a away that makes you want to listen over and over again. So excited for this concert. Yeah!
Check out this sweet little art pop up store I came across in Braamfontien. Full post on itswhatiminto.com.
When we were in Cape Town we went past Honest Chocolate. My word. I walked in. I tasted. I bought. What a sweet little shop, I loved the simplicity of it, it made me feel like I was in a little store in Paris. The owner was very cool, he told us all about the chocolate and let us taste some, little did he know that if I had half a chance I would have tied him up and then proceeded to roll around in whatever melted chocolate he had in the back. I would have swum through it like Scrooge Mc Duck in his vault of gold.
We bought some truffles and the sweet little men below, we also got a bar of orange flavoured dark chocolate, they barely lasted the flight home. Shame.
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.
Check out more pictures of the fair here.
The Hyde Park Food Wine Design fair is happening this weekend. I received a really pretty invite from them a while back and I’m super excited to go see, eat and drink some pretty things this Saturday. Are any of you guys going? If you haven’t bought tickets yet, I have 1 double set of tickets to giveaway, all you have to do is leave me a comment saying ‘hi. This is quick one, I will literally be drawing a winner tonight, so just drop me a comment and the 2 tickets could be yours. Easy peasy.
I got to see some really cool stuff last year, so i’m really looking forward to this one. Here are a few pictures I took last time round.
