Ooohwee Stubs and I have just come back from Durban. We spent 4 lovely days there and I must say I underestimated old Durbs, it’s a pretty pretty cool place, except for the mini afro that always seems to appear above my side parting. Humidity is an ugly ugly thing, like an empty Marmite jar when it’s all you feel like!
We went to the I Heart Market on Saturday where we met lots of cool people, like Nadia from Cupcake Couture and Casey from Sibling Mine, Danka from Black Butterfly, Genevieve from Fierce, Sara from Lucky Handmade, Sohpia from Sophia Basckin Design and a few other very talented faces. We spent some nice monies on some nice goodies. Man I got loads of amazings, which i’m not going to post up all at once, i’m going to spread them so that I don’t break the internet.
I’m going to start with my beautiful apple green rosette that Nadia gave me as a present. How sweet is the little deer? I’ve named him Norm and he’s sitting on my skirt right now. Nadia thank you so much for helping us out at the market and for hanging out and for showing us around and most of all for Norm. I will love his plastic behind forever. I also got sweet little doves for my hair, I like them a lot.
Then I bought these super cute hand made ceramic heart brooches from Carla who runs Token. She had such cute stuff, birds, rabbits, ducks, hearts and lots more. I love how they look like like lace that will never get dirty or smell like a little granny…
After the market, Stubs and I went to Casey’s cute little flat for tea, cake and some chit-chats. What a cool girl, she’s a doctor and and all round nice person and she sure knows how to mix a mean-ass strawberry champagne cocktail. We got to hang out with some of the girls from the market, which was so nice. Casey if I ever needed someone to cut me open to get a empty Marmite jar out cause I ate it in a fit of uncontrollable range, I would want that person to be you (insert smiley emoticon here).
