I freaked out the first time i saw these frames in Vanessa’s workshop. I wanted to fill a whole wall in my room with a collection of these. But how much i like them, just cannot be described in my limited vocabulary. So i asked Vanessa if she would mind if i photograph and blog them. I hope you enjoy them as much as i do!!!!!

Hello everyone! It’s been a while, but I’m back after my travels and rest time, ready and excited for an awesome new season ahead! Just a few word from my traveling:

What a privilege to travel. I always feel a sense of freedom. A freedom to learn from others…and to learn about myself. I get challenged by the different ways of doing/thinking, cultures and scenery. What challenge me the most? What do i do automatically  because of where i grew up/my family/my culture and my ways of thinking?

Social media became such a buzz word. Before i attended this 1day “social media” workshop last week, I new it was important and powerful…but I never new it was THAT powerful! In short, it is changing the way we communicate…and the way I think about my business.

After just the introduction video I already felt better informed. Do yourself a favour and go watch it HERE. With this platform to work from, i think every one at the “social media workshop” was receptive to what is to be learned around this subject. Awesome team Iaan van Niekerk and Christine (Meintjes) van Niekerk shared what they have learned through experience in their businesses. Since I’m not the person to go read up on “technical” and new computer things, it was great to cut to what is important, why it’s important and how to apply it effectively.  The workshop covered the broader idea of social media and then they discussed specifics like Facebook, Twitter and Google Analytics. And what was great, the attendees  was such a diverse group, from photographers, videographers, interior designers to people from Media 24. Basically anyone with a business!

Please inform yourself around the idea of Social Media and how it can be business-dynamite. If you would like to attend/need more info on the Social Media workshop by Iaan and Christine, please contact them directly HERE.

Every once in a while i find something i just love. And since I love sharing beautiful, inspiring or practical things, i decided to blog about them once in a while, under the heading “shared treasures.” Today’s shared treasure is Charlotte’s cookies: Krummels Kuns Koekies.

I just wrote a whole paragraph on the cookies and after i read it, i realized it sounded like one of those super over the top ads you get on TV. So, i deleted it, because except for that fact that I want you to know that these Krummels Kuns Koekies taste grrrreat and that i STILL freak out about them, I though I will rather leave the rest up to my better communication tool, photography.

Please feel free to contact Charlotte to order some of these beautiful cookies. Her contact detail: +27 (0) 82 494 5236 and email: homebasics.hermanus@gmail.com

(I think this will make an EXCELLENT gift at weddings  of instance, since they can be part of the decor too!)

I was really impressed by the work of this super talented girl! I get so excited when I see people excelling in what they love to do. These cakes are made to perfection and definitely works of art! (Even when you see them up close!) But thats not all. During the whole shoot Annarie was 100% focussed and so well prepared.

Her website just launched! Please go have a look, its really awesome. It was designed by Charlotte Coetzee  and coded by Plus Plus Minus, the same people that designed and coded my site!

Special thanks to Forma Photography and their awesome team that we could use their studio for this shoot!

Enjoy!
