Dear Rae Jewelry
OOOH Pretty...
I first stumbled upon this little designer at the Design Indaba this year. I absolutely love the feminine and delicate nature of her jewelry. She is based in Cape Town and has stockists mostly in Cape Town, and in Melville Johannesburg. This would make a really nice gift Im thinking, hint hint nudge nudge. She has lots to choose from, Dear Rae. Happy shopping.
Chic Revolution
From humble beginnings in the Eastern Cape this store speaks to the heart with a vintage, yet rural feel you can find every thing from screen printed tea towels and cheese boards to SA brand products, please go check out her website here.
Chilli corn bread in a jar
Who doesn't like eating out of a jar with a ribbon around it...
What a great party idea simple and so easy to make. I absolutely love the jars, not sure where you would be able to find some thing quite as pretty as these little jars but i think some recycled jars with a little bit of ribbon would do just the trick. Another idea would be to find a glass blower or manufacturer in your area and you could have your family name embossed on the glass if you live in South Africa here is a contact for a glass blower Im sure they would be able to assist you.
Here is the recipe for dawns cornbread.
You could also do a BBQ in a jar with a side of lemonade.
I don't eat pork but if you do you can find the recipe here.
The trick is to be creative Im thinking different coloured jelly would look amazing and so would a Strawberry Dacquiry, or a Pina Colada(my Favorite)... with an umbrella...a piece of pineapple and a.. cherry.

| Photography by Anna Williams |
IF I lived in the forrest and It was winter... I would make all this food invite all my friends and then sit by a fire, read a book and then rest my head for an afternoon nap.
Fabulous Food Photographer1
So... Sometimes eating through your eyes is sometimes far safer for your waste line than eating through your mouth. I found this amazing photographer who lives in New York called Anna Williams go check her out. All of her work so inspiring and alive. Her food photography and styling evokes all the right emotions associated to the various dishes. Try not to drool on your screen.

More macaroons

Macaroon Haunting...
How beautiful, quietly nestled in little bite size boxes, my heart bleeds custard.
Macaroons
Fit for a queen...Many a bag of ground almonds have been waisted in my kitchen as a result of my obsession with these little sherbet coloured puffs of culinary perfection. There is a place in Paris called Laduree,its a patisserie/tea salon from old parisian times which are famous for making these little treasures, whats even more amazing is they come especially packaged in the most beautiful little boxes. Go have a look at their website for all the other mouth watering delights they make. This place might just be worth a special visit, i better brush up on my French.
If you would like to give it a bash at making them here is the recipe.

10 reasons why I love Jeffreys Bay...
- I love the way the the sea air curdles with the sharp green smell of Fynbos before settling on my nose early in the morning. Its this very smell that reminds me of my Grandpa Siddy Pop when he would drive us to Jeffreys bay. I would always fall asleep at the car and remember being awakened by this smell which served as a sign that we were not far away.
- I love the way that Jeffreys bay is so mysterious and unpredictable, how without warning mist fills the town in seconds.
- I love the way that you can always expect to see dolphins surfing the waves, because 8 times out of 10 you'll find them, and can be even lucky enough to be in the water with them.
- I love the fact that the sun nearly always shines.
- I love all the beaches and watching the children playing in the rock pools on the weekends.
- I love that that there is always someone from a foreign land to meet and greet
- I love that everyone surfs after work.
- I love that there is no traffic, and general cruising speed is 60 unless you get stuck behind the ginseng violet brigade after a day at the salon.
- I love the humble nature of the town and how accepting it is of everyone no matter how different you think you are, you don't have to compete for space.
- I love the raw natural beauty it offers from the formations of the sand dunes to how when the wind blows you sometimes can not possibly tell which direction it is coming from, leaving you feeling like you are levitating.
Welcome
Hi
So here I am finally up and running sharing inspiring artifacts from daily life. I sometimes find myself hyperventilating at the beauty this world, what it has to offer, its creative people, some things lost and some things found. I think by sharing it, it wont get lost and explode in my mind, and make me hyperventilate.
Loads of living and loving.
