Hellooo? Anybody out there? Goodness, it’s been a while since I’ve logged on here (actually, just over a year). This little blog has been on my mind recently, and I’ve been toying with the idea of returning. I’m still not sure if this will become a regular thing, but I do have some ideas lined…
We’ve had a couple of bedside lamps for more than 5 years (they were actually a wedding present). They have served us faithfully, but recently the shades have become quite yellowed and marked. I searched high and low for suitable replacements, but I found it extremely difficult to find ones that were the right size,…

I couldn’t believe my luck when I heard that Decorex Cape Town would be held the weekend before we move, talk about good timing. I’ve been to Decorex in previous years, but this year I’ll hopefully…
