The Homegrown Fair 2013

Durban Talent on Display
A Saturday morning post is a rare occurrence around here, but I couldn't wait to share my visit to the House and Garden Homegrown Fair! The fair is part of the main show, but it differs as it has a strong focus on local talent and creative business. Terry Angelos curates the fair and this year added the Design on the Move feature, in collaboration with Mr Price Home! Imagine the most beautiful caravans kitted out by Terry herself, as well as Wendy from ilovebokkie and Sketchbok/dbn, as well as Jess from Hector and Bailey! The caravans are wonderful and I would love to own one! My favourite gals from Washi Bug are also at the fair and have enough tape to keep me very, very happy! There are a range of creatives taking part including, Rollin Vintage that you might have spotted at I heart Market as well as Alles, the new shop on the block that I mentioned recently! Great things to look at and buy so don't miss out, even if the main show isn't your thing! The fair is on until the 7th July - click here for more details.

Mini-Tour: Office

A Few Snaps of my Office
I recently did a shoot with Tyrone Bradley for Fair Lady and while he was here, he did me a favour and snapped a few shots of my office. It's just a glimpse of where I spend my days (and very often nights too). What you won't see is my main desk with my computer on it, but either than that it gives you a bit of an overview.

I always feel as if it's a work in progress, but at the same time I'm enjoying the space. My lovely Cambridge Satchel is a prominent feature that you might have spotted on Instagram. It's really great to see it everyday and acts as a symbol of hard work!

There are some louver windows, that separate my office from Daniel's office, I use them as mini shelves for my collected knick-knacks.


These goodies are on top of a retro style wardrobe. Lots of pink! I also love my Yankee Candle wax burner which keeps my office smelling lovely! I recently added some paper bunting to this window space, which I got in Flow magazine, it adds the finishing touch, as the window looked a bit bare!




The prints on the wall are from Chronicle Books - created by Suzy Ultman. I used hangers from Boardmans to hang them without having to drill or damage the wall, plus I can move them around if I like.
This is the shot Fair Lady used for their Entrepreneur feature in their July issue, it includes other creatives who started their business either through a market or created a market themselves. The lacy peplum top came from Woolworths. P.S - I don't dress like this everyday, in fact I'm writing this post in my PJ's, sans make-up...ha ha.

Happy weekend everyone!
