Yes, I went to Milnerton Market again and I took pictures again. This time I was really tempted to buy that huge jar of buttons as well as some vintage toy cars for my brother. I realised that I don’t need a jumbo jar of buttons and that my brother has probably outgrown toy cars. I did buy something that makes me smile when I look at it everyday. I’ll show you as soon as I take a picture of it.

On Saturday I popped into the first ever Favourite Things Market at Wembley Studios in Town. I’m a market addict so it was only natural that I went. There were only a few vendors so the market is still very small, but I am hoping they will grow. I took some pics of some of my faves at the market including Heathers Leathers and Bow Peep. For more details on the market, see the Favourite Things Blog.

Hi guys! I am so pleased to announce an exciting new giveaway. New online store Closet Space is giving away R150 store credit to one of you!

Women tend to have gorgeous clothing in their closets that may never be worn again. Closet Space helps these gorgeous garments find new and loving homes. Why should a fabulous cocktail dress collect dust in one’s closet when it could be flaunted on a night out?

All clothing is sold on Closet Space via a bidding process and for the first auction, bidding starts from as low as R20!

This little shop in Hermanus made me very happy. I don’t often get the chance to go to charity shops, but I spotted this one as we were about to leave Hermanus. It was such a joy to shop there. Everything was well organised and they had some gems! I managed to scoop up a pleated skirt for R10. I also bought and a tapestry set. Yes, I am into that kind of thing. I’m a programmer by day and crafter by night! How ridiculous does that sound!?

Bikini Beach Books on the beach front in Gordon’s Bay is my favourite book shop. They have a huge collection of second hand books at really good prices as well as new books. They have such an extensive collection that I always find many books to buy. It’s definitely worth a visit if you love books.
