So there's more market fun on Saturday morning... Have a look at the gorgeous new dresses that the Black Butterfly stand will have on offer:

Bring all your maatjies and come say Hi!

Heritage

This little art work is one of those things that reminds me that sewing must be in my blood. It was a gift to my wonderful grandmother which I made when I was about four or five... I couldn't even write properly yet! But every stitch is perfectly placed in my favourite shapes - hearts!! I rediscovered this little treasure on a recent visist home, and since my granny now resides in heaven, it serves as the perfect momento of our wonderful time together. Ouma Sarie kept me busy and out of trouble for many hours by teaching me all sorts of wonderful secrets. Little did I realize then that these treasures of time -  knitting, crochetting, embroidery and sewing - would be gifts that would create endless happiness in my life...

Shopping with Nadia is always an adventure... She's shown me loads of little places to find the best of Durban's shopping offers: wonderful vintage, lace and ribbon, trims and trinkets and of course BUTTONS...

We saw these gorgeous ancient boxes of binding in one of the shops we discovered on Brickfield road. It's awefully dusty and quite a bit messy, but it's overloaded with treasures for crafting.

Old fashion binding by the box-load

Petersham ribbon to die for

 The hand full of buttons I came home with.

Stocking up for the silly season has seldom been this fun :)
