*yes, I'm back and my post are all so late. From September work was crazy and I didn't get a minute to myself and when the holidays rolled around and I had time to blog, which I really planned to do, I just couldn't face sitting in front of a pc for another minute. So it's a new year and I'll try again to keep up, but this year I'm not going to beat myself up about not being so great at keeping up with my blog. I want to enjoy it so I don't want to force thing. So I'm just going to have to make peace with blogging in drips and drabs 

:P

pretty pin-up

Just a little illustration project I worked on for fun. I did something similar for a friends birthday, but wanted to try another pin-up, so I did this fro Rudi.

the palms market

Rudi and I happened to stumble across The Palms Market while on the hunt for a carpet. What a lucky and unexpected find. This little food market features a wide variety of “Fresh food from die Platteland” which all looks absolutely divine. What really fascinated me though was the old building. Dating back to the first quarter of the last century, it was the site of Cape Towns first bakery.
