In the retail world, December is harvest time and January holiday. So Gorgeous starts waking in Feb...but end of Jan this year my world started imploding. It kept going until the end of February. I was reeling from shock, then I started healing...and true to the Lord's character of being such a extravagantly loving Dad and Bestie, He has provided new and better things. A fresh season. I have learned the past year that He is a loving master restorer. He does not fix the broken things in the aftermath of such violence, no He custom makes something completely new. So perfect and beautiful it takes my breath away... Something I have longed for but never even though possible in this world!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So if you have wondered where I have disappeared too... and why you have not heard from me, that is what was going on. The fields that was stripped, burnt and barren is now blooming in beautiful spring meadows and my heart is fragrant with jasmine.

I will be at the last GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKET tomorrow. A fun festive and jolly event. Also a chance to experience my beautiful Christmas products (/pieces of art as literally every little piece is handmade which takes hours!) with all your senses. This year’s Noël Candles (as always special limited edition) is made with wooden wicks, which crackles like a fire when lit. Made in beautiful antique containers I collected. The idea is that you not only get a candle, but also something to use afterwards, like a milk jug etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also designed, developed and made decorations for your Christmas tree.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Including truly special embroidery/ beading etc art framed in antique brass frames from Italy, using off cut fabric from all my dresses I have designed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
10am - 3pm ! 132 Section str, Paardeneiland. Very close to the N1 with plenty of safe parking.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their real imported Christmas trees and branches (you can put them in water, utterly breathtaking) and the things in that cold room of theirs, is truly a sight to behold. Of course also all their other wonderful Christmas decorations.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is not often open to the public, is their magnificent preserved flowers and ferns, in every colour of the rainbow. There is a black fern I just want to put in a frame!

SLOW SHOPPING | PLANT GUIDES
R169 per pack of 10.
7 packets available.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOW IT HAPPENED;
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted to trail Ticky Creeper up a big but slippery planter of mine..,after breaking my brain on how this could be done, my sister told me about these plant guides available abroad…so the minute a friend could slip to Germany, I asked for suitcase space for some of these. Turned out, this specific one I wanted only came in packs of 100 pieces! Which is why I am sharing the bounty!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swipe along for all the details ➡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Exceptional quality, imported from Germany. When I ordered these, nothing similar was available in SA. The green melts in perfectly with your plants. Soft bendable ABS that twists closed, is designed to not have any sharp edges, as not to cut stems when the wind blows. 3M sticking power. These can be used inside and out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These babes could be spray painted - I would recommend using Rustoleum - when you want to use them to MANAGE CABLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know climbing plants grow exponentially faster when going upwards vs trailing down? Thanks for teaching me this.

What a great gift to self? Or a green fingered friend!

Butterflies signifying HOPE after this forced cocoon period of the last 2 years.

🎼Bethlehem ster
O wonder-lig
Heerlik lieflike gesig
Wyse manne kom van vêr
Bethlehem ster
O lieflike ster
Bethlehem ster
O lieflike ster

The lyrics of this Afrikaans Christmas song has been playing in my head al week, as I worked on this special ornament.

I have been quiet, absorbed in making these special pieces. Handmade art, framed in a rare antique Italian brass frame.

Dress your tree with beautiful once off, lovingly hand made baubles.

Shooting hearts, signifying God’s all encompassing love for us.

Golden pompoms representing the joy He gives us, so that we can draw from and reflect His love, to bring sunshine and warmth to others.

The timeless beauty and cheer that Holly brings.

My first fragrance I developed, born out of desperation to find something that perfectly represents the smell of Christmas as I know it. After years of planning, now available in diffuser form!

Created for the GERMAN CHRISTMAS MARKET tomorrow 10am - 3pm at 3 Section str Paardeneiland.

Infact, they are sexy as hell.

Made in England, but depicts Italian scenes…

The Breakfast cup is super scarce, only swinging by for coffe after a night out. She takes 300ml. Curves in all the right places.

Her younger sister hangs around, much easier to find. Only takes 200ml, so not allowed out yet.

Swipe along to see how they compare and you will understand why the older sister is so scarce…you can google all you want and not find a single OLD BLUE MARK 300ml breakfast cup.

I found her, this Unicorn and not just one, but 8 OLD blue mark BREAKFAST cups and saucers. I am sharing the joy, you can buy a duo at R395 each. (Which is a ridiculously low price when you know their worth.) Sale is for the whole set, so you have to take all 8.

See my stories and other posts for more detail.

Offer ends tonight at 8pm.
