 Today I am very excited as I had a meeting earlier with one of my very good friends, her name is Nicola Meyer and she was the founder of the previous La Fete.. she not only creates the most beautiful tea parties and eats, but she is just as beautiful inside and out!

She is busy planning her annual Celebration of creativity with her event Kreatee (Createa), and has asked me to help with the arrangements.

It will be held this year on Saturday, 6 Dec from 9:00 until 14:00 at her beautiful home in Stellenbosch.

There will be the most beautiful handmade creations for sale, from things for your home, things for your kids and things for yourself!

The big highlight for me of course that I get to spend time in her lovely home – its definitely a feast for the eye and speaks of traditional French flair!  Look at the unusual but lovely coloured shutters.

Even if you just pop in for some decor ideas, please do so!

      

 

 

This year we spent our summer holiday in the coastal town of Stilbaai along the South coast of South Africa.  As I do shop lots easier when I am relaxed, I stumbled across a few beautiful little items for my house over this past festive season… and since its my birthday at the end of December I usually manage to persuade my family members to buy in on my latest spotted must-haves.

A shop to look out for when visiting Stilbaai is Matchbox.. make sure you have ENOUGH time to browse as it can be quite an overload of pretty, weird and wonderful things.  To make shopping easier, there is a great play park for the kids to keep themselves busy while you are thoroughly browsing.

I was very excited when I found this fire place stand.  We have a large, open fireplace, and this is really stunning while it has a very important function of preventing little hands from accidentally getting too near to the open fire.
