We recently decided to take advantage of one of the long weekends to go away with little Evan and our parents. Initially we couldn’t decide on where to go, but eventually we settled on the Robertson wine valley. We’d only driven through the region on our way to the Garden Route, so I was keen to…
As a new homeowner, I have a new-found appreciation for events like the Homemakers Expo. It can be so overwhelming to find appropriate service providers and stockists, and there are only so many hours in a weekend that can be spent trailing around shops to find the perfect bathroom tile! The Homemakers Expo is literally…
Oh my, I’ve been swooning over these gorgeous copper foiled prints for ages, they’re at the top of my wish list! Each print is available either unframed or box framed in pink beech wood (see the full collection in the Seven Swans online store).

Last week my amazing husband treated us to a trip to Gondwana Nature Reserve. We’ve had a pretty busy year (haven’t we all?), so it was wonderful to retreat to this luxurious hideaway for 3 nights. I’ve never actually been to a game reserve, and I’m crazy about animals, so I was incredibly excited to…
