Inspiration: Jazy's 2nd Birthday!

Hello! This past weekend we celebrated gorgeous Jasmyn's 2nd Birthday with the fun 'Monkey Around' Theme. They have a beautiful garden and lots of space to climb, run, jump and Monkey Around!

I just loved the creative monkey cupcakes her grandmother made and the cute monkey thank you favours! Someone even drew a Mr. Monk on the black board, Oh, how I love detail! Her mom also baked a monkey cake with the cutest banana paws and arms! Here are a few images of the day:



The 'Monkey Around' theme is available here in my online shop.

Introducing: & Jewellery

Hello! Today we are celebrating my mom's 60th Birthday. Except for all the planning and organising the big question was what gift to get her. We wanted something really special and personal. We thought of a special piece of jewellery and found the perfect person to create + make it for us. Her name is Andrea Neethling, the very talented jeweller behind the Cape Town based & Jewellery. She created a beautiful sterling silver piece for us consisting of 7 'icons' with spacers on the most delicate snake chain. The icons represented my mom's three children, her three grandchildren and her beloved dog Josie that passed away earlier this year. Each 'icon' has the matching birthstone and name of the person engraved on it. The perfect gift for a very special and colourful woman!

Out & About: Market on Main

Hello! This past weekend we eventually went to Market on Main. It's been on my to-go-to list for quite a while now... and I must say: "I am so happy we did". It is situated  in the Maboneng Precinct on the east side of the Johannesburg CBD  and located in an early 1900's warehouse. Arts on Main aims to preserve the historical aspects of the building and contribute to the Jozi CBD's urban regeneration. The way there is a bit dodgy, however don't be put off by this, we didn't feel unsafe for a moment and if you follow the directions on the website it is quick and easy to get there.


We were welcomed with beautiful food stalls and products to taste. My husband stumbled upon 'Pauli's Tomali Relish' and I think for that reason alone we might be back next weekend. 'Two Man Jam' did a really good job with their 'Jungle Jam' too. I settled on a delicious veggie filled Roti from Durban Curry and my Hubby & friend on Chocolate Crepes... lots of variety to suit everyone's fancy. Coffee to me is real important and 'Ikhofi' makes a great cuppa..


There are tables and crates to sit down and enjoy your gourmet finds inside or you can venture outside up to the roof top bar.

Do yourself a favour and go enjoy some urban revitalisation!
Love
Liezel

Colour Inspiration: Tinned Cow

Hello! Leaving you with some 'tinned cow' colour inspiration. I found this cow in a rustic little tea garden whilst celebrating a special friend's birthday.

Happy Friday, Love Liezel

Out & About: Babylonstoren

Hello! A few weekends ago I had the privileged to visit Cape Town and surrounds again. This time my MUST VISIT was the Babylonstoren Farm, specifically the Restaurant called "BABEL". Oh I was in heaven, everything white and gorgeous with natural splashes of colour brought in by the lemons, pumpkins & fresh herbs. We went for breakfast. The menu only had 3 options which made my life much easier, otherwise I spend way to long pondering which meal to order. I had a wonderful omelet filled with melted brie, served with exotic mushrooms and elegantly garnished with beetroot slices... I must warn you that their waiting list is 2 months, so best you book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment. There is much more to do and experience on this immaculately kept Farm. You can read more at www.babylonstoren.co.za

Have you been exploring lately?
