Sarah was the runner up in Lee Folkard Photogaphy’s Project Scouted a little earlier this year. When I first saw pics of her I knew I wanted to photograph her and lucky for me I was finally able to do so today.

Etsy Craft Party 2013
Back in June, Durban had their very own Etsy Craft Party at The Upstairs. Why am I only blogging about this now? Well I was asked by Nadia to take some photos when the photographer cancelled on the day. Poor show that, whoever you are! In any case when taking official photographs I generally give the official people a bit of time to use them before I post them myself. When Nadia very kindly dropped off a lovely gift for me today to say thanks, I realised that more time had gone by than I realised and I still hadn’t added anything about it on here.
So, better late than never, I give you the Etsy craft party photos as well as some pics of the nifty little pen disguised as a pencil and a lovely journal/notebook from Typo. It was all wrapped beautifully as only Nadia and other crafty types can. Me, I have no patience for wrapping. You’re lucky if you get something wrapped in tinfoil from me. Not very green, I know, but super easy to fold over anything.
Urban Descent
We were up bright and early for the Gunslinger / Quiksilver Urban Descent in Glenwood. The weather was rather iffy and the wind was howling, so I was super surprised that so many people turned up to watch. It’s not something us Durbanites usually do. We generally like to stay home at the mere hint of rain, we’re bratty like that. Roy took photos of the riders, I took some candids of people in the crowd, all in all, not a bad way to spend a Sunday morning. Hope you all had a good weekend.
I Heart Market – October
What a beautiful day it was in Durban today! I mean really, it was hot, the wind died down and clearly half of Durban visited the market at some point. I haven’t seen it that busy in a while, which was great for all the stall holders. As usual, the first stop had to be lemonade stand for my monthly gin & lemonade. Some days I’m there so early I get funny looks, but my theory is that I’m not early, I’m a month late; which means that 9am is gin o’ clock if you ask me.
I’ve had my eye on the Kayla Midi Skirt from Jane Sews for a while now. Today, I bit the bullet, twisted my rubber arm and bought myself one. Of course, me being me, I couldn’t help buying a second dress as well. The thing is Amy’s attention to detail is ridiculous and not only is the fabric amazing but the structure of her garments is impeccable. Seriously, the finishing is superb! If you have some spare cash I can’t recommend her highly enough. You can visit her online shop, try one of your local stockists or wait until the next market come around.
The Stadium has added a “Before I Die…” wall for people to write their dreams on. Some people really dream big, while others have super simple wishes. It’s interesting to see just how different everyone is. In any case you can find the wall at the bottom of the stairs near the fountains, in case you’d like to add your two cents.
Tomorrow is the Urban Descent downhill race in Glenwood. I’ll be there taking pics of all the cool kids, if you’re planning on going maybe I’ll see you there. If not, have a super Sunday.
No Shortage of Family
We went down the coast to Port Edward this weekend and visited my other half’s grans house today. The extended family is really rather large. There are 10 grandchildren and currently 7 great-grandchildren with another 2 on the way. These are just a few of the littlest that were around today as well as Roy and Rick at the end, who are 2 of the 10 grandchildren.
