Sundays are normally very quiet for us. We tend to lounge around the flat for a good long while before venturing out into the world. Today, however, was a bit different. Last night we made plans to meet some friends for breakfast at Hemingways in Glenwood. There is an awesome special on at the moment where for just R24 you get 2 large Flapjacks with pecan nuts drizzled in honey and fresh cream AND a cappuccino. Needless to say, I’m a pig, so I ate breakfast and had the flapjacks for dessert.
The East Coast Radio House and Garden Show is currently on at the Durban Exhibition Centre. Within that is the Homegrown Fair, which is filled with locally sourced crafts, food and design. Due to the rather steep price of R60 entrance this year, we thought we’d have to give it a miss, but thanks to Nadia from Cupcake Couture we got in for free. I’ve been wanting to check out her husband Daniel’s custom made furniture (Woodnewz) for a while now, so I’m really stoked. I’m totally in love with his new-made, retro-style designs. The quality and finishing is superb and I am definitely going to have to get some bedside pedestals. Mad Men eat your heart out.
On top of the free tickets, Nadia also surprised me with an awesome little notebook (I love free stuff). I also bought myself the latest Frankie Magazine and the Frankie Afternoon Tea recipe book. All I can say is, FINALLY!
If you manage to get yourself down to the show (it’s on till 3 July) make sure to visit Nadia and Daniel and spend some time in the Homegrown Fair. Some of my other favourites within the section include: Mooi, Whimsy and iKhaya.
Thanks for stopping by and for the great post! x
