The Package Project

So excited to have received my package project partner yesterday. Hello Sara! A big thank you to my friend Nadia who has organised the exchange and for all the time and care she's put into partnering everyone up! I had such a lovely experience taking part last year and I'm sure this year is going to be just as fun. If you didn't sign up this year be sure to do so next year, you can read more about this exciting project on Nadia's blog HERE.

Daxiland Dolls

I'm continually inspired by the work of a very dear friend of mine, Victoria Verbaan if you haven't seen or heard of her work (which I'm sure you must have) Pop on to her site HERE.

I love how Vicky describes her work as "fairytale and fiction. Contradiction. Fashion, nature, emotion…without being too serious." and is inspired by "The alarming quality of Surrealism and of course Roald Dahl who has been a good friend for as long as I can remember"

She posted these new illustrations on her blog yesterday and I just had to share!

Kim Longhurst @ Ikhaya

The extremely talented Kim Longhurst, (who also designed my jewellery logo) has just launched a limited range of prints available at Ikhaya. Would absolutely love ALL of these for our little peanuts nursery!

The girl with the beautiful heart

Twitter is a wonderful thing. I met a new friend, Nicola who's kind words and support the last couple of months have made me regard her as a true friend.

Nicola sent me these gorgeous pics of herself wearing my cameo ring along with the sweetest comment "I love it so much and every time I wear it it reminds me of my Nana - who collected Cameo's - my Boy who bought it for me x and you!"

Pop along to her blog for constant inspiration or to just say Hi.

Help a kitty, win a swan!

The lovely Vicky from I Want That is doing a series on her blog called "24 Days of give& take" in which she has asked designers to sponsor a giveaway and nominate a charity.

When she approached me I happily obliged and have sponsored one of my new wooden wall decor hangings. The charity I've nominated is Kitten Action, a Durban based organisation that I truly admire.

So to enter visit I Want That here and perhaps in the spirit of Christmas also visit here and donate a little something for all the kitties out there.

Christmas pressies for free!

Lucky Pony, Angie Pants is having the most amazing giveaway on her amazing blog so go enter, quick.

Oh how I wish I could enter this one!

it’s Christmas time, who wants some (insert Oprah’s voice here) pressssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssents?!

It’s nearly Christmas time. It’s nearly holiday time. It’s nearly eat as much food as your poor little stomach can hold then wait 8 minutes and go in for seconds time. I love December – Things slowly come to a halt at work, the sun is parading out and about everyday, you are so close to getting to spend actual days with people you only get to see after 5pm and on weekends. Whooo good times ahead.

So seeing as it is nearly Christmas and seeing as I have so many lovely followers who read my blog and send me such nice mails and comments, I thought I would get some of my blogger friends together and do one last big giveaway post.

Below are 8 wonderful people who have all given something awesome towards this competition. Each block contains a number, the piece/s they are giving away, a picture of their lovely mugs and a bit about them.

All you are going to have to do is leave me a merry comment and go past their blogs to say ‘hi’ or “man you are smart” or “wow” or “get Angie to pick me or run the risk of loosing both eyebrows. The choice is yours”. Super easy right? Right.

I will then pick TWO winners, who will have to mail me 4 out of the 8 numbers, each number representing a gift. So if you want 1, 2, 5 and 7 that’s what you will send me. The one who mails me second gets what’s left over 4, which is still awesome! If you don’t win, then here are some cool Christmas present ideas for you, all links are below x x

Thanks to all the lovelies who have given things… to make the pictures and type bigger, just right click on them x

Mariet – Kittens with Mittens – TWO handmade handloved owl brooches.

Marietjie – Een dag op ‘n reendag - a sterling silver limited edition Skermunkil wolf necklace
