Yay, a blog post that isn’t about babies! We moved into our home over 3 years ago, but it’s taken me this long to actually hang some pictures on the walls. Why? Because I have commitment issues. I love collecting prints and photos, but the thought of trying to decide on where to hang everything,…
Loving…new nursery trends {Part 1: floral fantasy}
I have to be honest with you – Evan does not have what many would call a “Pinterest-worthy” room. We did pretty major renovations in the months before he was born (actually we still had workers traipsing through our house when he was a week old), so I didn’t have much of an opportunity to…
Loving…Seven Swans {perfect prints}
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). These talented ladies also offer a bespoke wedding stationery design service, so…
Loving… Decorex Cape Town {win tickets}
We’ve just passed the two week mark until we move into our first home, and the excitement is building! 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…

Loving…washi tape heart mural {DIY}
I’ve seen a couple of cross-stitch mural projects around, but it’s always seemed like quite a lot of work, and quite a bit commitment. Since we’re living in a rented house, something like that isn’t an option for us, so I thought I’d try a more temporary version using washi tape. What you’ll need: a…
Loving…Soil Design
I recently discovered these beautiful bags from Soil Design at the Kamers vol Geskenke market. I really love the bright and bold designs, perfect for summer! These talented ladies also offer various other products and design services (wedding invitations, product design etc), so pop over to their Facebook page to check them out. All images…
Loving…Colours at Kamers
I was delighted to hear on Friday that I had won tickets to this year’s Kamers vol Geskenke (meaning “Rooms full of gifts” in Afrikaans), courtesy of the lovely Nadia van der Mescht. So yesterday my friend and I drove through to Stellenbosch to visit this amazing market. Kamers (as it is fondly known) has…
