Social media suprises





After my ritual early morning walk with Putto, our Swiss Shepherd, I met a friend for coffee and we discussed the wonders of social media.  Recently (by accident) I discovered a lovely shoot on Pinterest with our range of table decor - orbs and himmeli's.  Much to my delight, I have to admit!

Done for television, the Pretty Blog, along with the help of Elizabeth from Bon Ton Events created this beautiful shoot. The table was decorated with a combination of geometric shapes, chemistry tubes and botanical details. The chemistry idea was to touch on the concept of a ‘chemical explosion’ happening when tasting the different ice-creams with the liqueurs. The botanicals was a creative way to use plants you already have, as table decor.

Hanging with Elsje Designs

Thank you for the lovely artricle, Hanging with Elsje Designs:(http://www.capetownetc.com/blog/hanging-out-with-elsje-designs/)

Spring is in the air. Now is the best time to plan your garden for summer. If that sounds like too much effort, take full advantage of going green with this attractive triangular hanging sculpture from Elsje Designs.

Let the geometric-shaped sculpture be your canvas when considering adding a green element to your home, garden, office or any other area which needs a splash of colour. Simply add an air plant and let this conversation piece come to life.
