A colleague went to India last weekend to renew her work permit, and before she left, she asked me if she could get me anything. I didn’t hesitate 
I asked her to bring me one sari for maternity shoots…
She arrived back after her flying 4 day visit with not one, but 3 saris and traditional outfits for each of my boys (I’ll get the kids to try them on this weekend 
) And they arrived in the most awesome bag from RMKV Wedding Silks
I’m going to have so much fun with them.

Angel, from Angel’s Weddings and Angel’s Mind and The Cupcake Lady fame, won a photoshoot with me a few months ago, and decided to use it for her last wedding dress fitting. Angel and Neels are getting married on Saturday, and the wedding is going to be incredible based on what I know about it.
Her wedding dress was designed by Christa B, and I went to her studios in Waterkloof, Pretoria yesterday for Angel’s last fitting. It was an awesome experience for me and I loved being there when her sisters and her son saw the dress for the first time, and the pride in Angel’s mom’s face and voice the whole time was just too beautiful to watch.
Angel looks like a dream in her dress… and that’s all I’m saying about that until my post wedding blog post
Hehe, sorry for all those bloggers who I know are here to see whether they can catch a glimpse of it before the date… it’s so not gonna happen
All I have for you today are some images of the amazingly beautiful studio…
The last photo needs some explanation… that christening dress was made by Christa… isn’t it incredible?!
Seriously though, if you’re planning a wedding, it’s worth getting a dress made for you by a designer… I cannot explain how impressed I was with Angel’s dress and the other dresses that were hanging in the studio… they were all MAGNIFICENT!
If you want to see more of her dresses, look at her website, and buy the Fair Lady Wedding/Bridal issue that’s coming out soon, because one of her dresses is apparently going to be in it.

Just before my birthday I put together a wishlist of stuff that I wanted to get, and put it on my other blog. You might think that is strange, but my husband always asks me what I want and gets exactly what I tell him… and that’s no fun because there’s no element of surprise… mostly because he springs the question on me, and I react with one or two suggestions.
I was prepared this year though, and put together quite a list
One of the items on the list was a brushed steel keyrack that I’d seen links to few months ago on another blog (can’t remember where). In fact the other blog had refered to a keyrack that had Table Mountain etc… and that didn’t appeal to me… but the taxi and shack one did. So I added it to my list… and the coat rack of the JHB skyline that’s also caught my fancy.
Well my birthday came and went… and I got great stuff… but not the key rack… until now
The company who manufactures them, New Moon Africa, contacted me a few weeks ago via Twitter and asked me if they could send me one! How cool is that?! I was thrilled!! And I picked it up this morning from the post office.
In fact, that’s another story in itself… it’s the first time I’ve collected a parcel using my twitter handle as my name LOL, too funny, and the postman laughed at me when I giggled at the name and asked whether it was a joke. And then his eyes went wide when I said it was my twitter name… and he gave me the parcel without a fuss.
When I got home and showed Beauty the key rack, she fell in love with it too and exclaimed “It looks like a tiny town” hence the blog post name. I love that it’s just so Jozi, yet it’s stylish (well, I think it is anyway)
OMG!! Just as I went to link to their site, I spotted the new floating shelves that they have designed… I like those too! In fact imagine those in the acacia tree design… would look awesome!
I just love their stuff!
Anyhoo, guess Lance is going to have something to do this weekend… I’ve told him where the key rack must hang

I’ve had a good birthday today. Quiet… but good.
The stuff list on my other blog was just the trick, and I got a whole host of things from the list Because I didn’t get up to much apart from shopping and kids stuff and having dinner at my parents’ house, I thought I’d make today’s blog post with photos taken everywhere I went (apart from the shops)
My birthday actually started last night, when Madelein and her clan came over and we ordered take-away pizza from Colcacchios… that has to be the BEST take-away pizza we’ve ever had… and we managed to order wheat free pizza too!
I got so many compliments today about this perfume… even Connor told me that I smelt really nice
I finally, finally have something from Le Creussett
Oh and I just love these tulips that I got from my mom yesterday… and I just discovered the macro function on my new lens!!
I went to the opening of Tranquil Body Therapy at their market stall in Lifestyle Garden Centre… definitely buying stuff when I go there again tomorrow as I’ve discovered that Leigh-Ann’s (she owns it) kids creams are made without sulphur and sulphates!! And the mens range looks quite good too.
Then it was dog walking time in the most beautiful golden light
And finally my mom’s famous chocolate cake…
