Shane and I took a drive down to Durban with my folks for a few days and obviously we had to go on a bit of an antique hunt. Obviously. Jo and I are going again at then end of the month so I thought I would research some stores, not that I would be able to get us back to them, my aunt lovingly drove us around the whole of Monday morning, but I wanted to have a look non the less. Durban you have some nice spots. Nice, nice, nice. I only bought a couple of things, not much, I’m saving my monies for our next trip. And i’m definitely going back for that cheesecake pictured below. Holy crack face, it was awesome! I had it at the organic coffee shop next door to Mooi.
I bought this beautiful Bavaria teacup and saucer and these awesome art deco sailing boat earrings.
Durban has so many beautiful buildings that I want to live in. Wow so not fair. The whole time we were there I kept thinking that buying a holiday place in Durban may be a smart move. An art deco holiday flat. HELLO! Ok now I need to win some serious cash or something to make that happen. Boo hoo. Maybe I can sell a lung, surly you only need one of those things.
if I give you money (and lots of please please’s), will you bring the ship mirror back for me when you go there at the end of the month? say yes??
Those earrings are just delightful! There’s a great shop off of Florida Road in Morningside where my aunt stays, its at the bottom end heading way from the ocean. Wish I had an address for you, or maybe you’ve been in already? Can’t wait to see what you and Jo bring back from your next trip! WOOP!

the monkey is scary, looks like he can put an old gypsy curse on you if you stare too long. its the kind of thing you want to stare at but you know you shouldnt!!
!!!! What is that big load of exciting-looking stuff in the first little picture?! That looks like an exciting rummage adventure. PS I like your car.
Hahah how awesome is that sand car? Pity about the wheel, we can’t find a spare anywhere 🙁
