thief & bandit

i’ve become a one-item-of-jewellery-at-a-time kind of gal, so i absolutely love the handmade pieces from thief & bandit because they are simultaneously striking & beautifully simple. their t-shirts are great, too.

spartan

i just want to scoop up spartan‘s entire inventory. they sell homeware, jewellery, paper goods, bags and even diana cameras. feels a bit like muji meets quirky vintage.

gaudy gold

when i was young i always associated gold jewellery with greek moms who wore white jeans, or rich ladies with yachts – a resounding yuck from my perspective. as with most things in life my tastes changed considerably as i grew up, and now i much prefer yellow gold to silver, platinum etc. (tastefully, i wouldn’t wear more than one piece of gold at a time.)

things

i wasn’ t planning on posting today because i’ve been sick in bed for a day and a half. however, there’s only so much sleeping and tv watching a girl can do before feverish boredom sets in. so i decided to play around with my camera which hasn’t got much love from me lately, and took some shots of things i own & treasure.

i found this cup & saucer in a second hand shop in kleinmond. it was made by a finnish company called arabia (i assume it’s from the 50′s/60′s) and is, by far, my favourite thing to drink tea / coffee out of. if it ever had to break, my heart would break. best of all – it has no chips!

kris·miss·moss gift guide

kris·miss·moss gift guide

i’m thinking about christmas already. sigh. my family has instituted a one gift per person R100 limit (to combat the “meltdown“). i told them R100 is almost impossible, so i’m shooting for under 200 bucks. anything handmade is great to me, and anything i can order online is even better. if i can walk to a shop – wonderful, but that kind of limits you geographically & since i’m out in “the sticks” (as some might say) i welcome e-commerce with open arms (i’m also lazy). PLUS i’d also like to inject some christmas cheer into the south african postal service (i have faith!) – herewith my south african friendly online shopping gift guide
