I Love Pop Up Store

Last week I visited the I Love Pop Up Store with my family.

This space showcases jewelry, clothing, decor, toys, fashion and more, all made by local businesses.
It was great to see the creativity and authenticity on display and I will definitely be visiting them again as they have extended their lease until December- yes please! I'm thinking Christmas shopping?

Here are some snapshots of the day

We Got Featured on Southbound Bride!

I loved my wedding. Apart from getting to say yes to spending the rest of my life with my best friend, I got to celebrate and dance with all the people closest to my heart! A lot of love and preparation, and crafting, went into the day and it was worth every effort.

My bridesmaid Sherrie made the bunting, Sue Lichter from Soft Hearted designed the invitations, my mom-in law helped with the runners and the flowers, and Chev and I made the favors, hand-crafted pinwheels:)

The best thing about my wedding is that I have been able to enjoy it long after the day has passed as it has been featured in The Wedding Assistant directory, and now on the beautiful Southbound Bride blog. Thanks Thea from Think Photography for taking such stunning pictures that have captured my happiest day forever!

Rose, lace and pearls: the perfect combination

Yesterday I made my first purchase from Keep Thrift, an up and coming local business. They sell vintage clothes in a fresh and original way, stocking their store with beautiful treasures at reasonable prices.

In preparation for me entering into the business world next year (eek!), I am starting to put together my work wardrobe and this blouse has been my joyful first addition! Thanks Keep Thrift, you have made my week!

I Heart Market September

See you this weekend at the I heart market!

Pop Up Store Coming Soon!

I got very excited when I saw this poster for a pop up store featuring 100% South African design opening up next month. This is something I am definitely going to be giving a visit.

A Durban wedding with a handmade touch

My awesome friend Debra married the love of her life, Mike in June. It was a gorgeous warm Durban winter's day filled with love, laughter and celebrations. Their photo's were done by the oh-so-talented folks from Hello Habour Photography and they have been so kind as to let me share this day with you.

But here's the best part (for me!). I was commissioned to make some original felt star wars brooches for the groomsmen to wear. They were personal and quirky and were a great feature. There's nothing like a handmade touch to make things special!
