I wrote about the start of our our courtyard make-over a little while ago – since then I’ve been looking for a way to incorporate more greenery into this space.  That was easier said than done, particularly since our courtyard is very hot and dry, and Cape Town is in the midst of one of…

Loving…new nursery trends {Part 1: floral fantasy}

November 11, 2017

Loving… a courtyard make-over {fun with Prominent Paints}

April 21, 2017

Before I get started on our courtyard make-over, I hope you’ve noticed that the blog has had a bit of a make-over too? I’m so sorry to those of you who got 7 random emails in your inbox – some technical gremlins crept in during the make-over process! When we moved into our house 2…

Loving…Pressed flower art {Nostalgic Beauty}

February 10, 2017

When I think of pressed and dried flowers, I can’t help thinking of greeting cards sold at church bazaars.  But thanks to amazing artists like Janine Vermeulen from Foraged, this art form is gaining in popularity.  Thankfully, it’s something that is accessible to everyone, and it’s a fun activity to do with kids.  I have fond memories of…

5 Tips for visiting Gondwana Game Reserve {Paradise part 2}

September 24, 2014

In my first post about our incredible time at Gondwana, I promised that I would share my tips for visiting this beautiful game reserve.  Many of them may seem obvious, and they’re certainly not specific to Gondwana, so I hope that they’ll be helpful in planning your next wildlife adventure! 1.  Get cozy Even if…

Loving…Spring bouquets {Catherine Mac Photography}

It feels like Spring may be springing here in Cape Town (finally), so to celebrate I thought I would share these beautiful images of bridal bouquets by the talented Catherine Mac.  It just goes to show how many gorgeous options you have when designing your bouquet (or any other arrangement for that matter).  Catherine is…

Loving…wine bottle herb gardens

February 15, 2013

Hmmm, I feel a DIY project coming on.  How cool are these wine bottle herb gardens from Uncommon Goods? If you can’t order them online, what about following this tutorial from Design Sponge?  I have a glass cutter, but I’m a bit scared of using it, does anyone have any tips or tricks?  I’ve also…
