Out of Africa

Made here in Cape Town, South Africa, these collage's are made to be a little different each time they are made.

All made by hand, they are quite different to anything else you will find as a gift or for your own home.

Just look at the detail in each one.

Africa by a heart.

With many sizes to choose from you will always find one to suit you.

In stock right now, we can post world wide.

Bokke & Blomme has a new venue

The event was said to be worth the drive, it was an early morning start to reach the venue and then set up the display, will it work?

This was at the Treasury Market which is hosted once a month at the Slow Food market in Stellenbosch at the Oude Libertas wine farm in Stellenbosch.

Treasury market is open from 9am to 2pm only, so you need to start early to see all thats on offer.

The stall was a success and Bokke & Blomme will be back next month.

See you there then!

The Hout Bay Yacht Club

I am not quite a founder member of the HBYC but with around thirty three years (33) membership, I must be close? The idea was started with a mass meeting at the old Hout Bay Hotel Rotunda Room, the place was packed, so much in fact, you had to stand up, there was just no space to sit!

Sail training takes place each thursday and quite early, so around 5.30pm.

The HBYC is a popular stop over for world cruisers, here some are bringing stores onto the marina to stock up their yachts for the next leg of their voyage.

How nice is that!

Meet Henry

We hand raised a local pigeon, found with his nest on the pavement at our local Shopright Checkers store

Henry grew to be a fully grown bird, he was quite free and flew around the house and into my worshop, all on his own and as he felt the need.

Henry at work.

Henry in the office. He eventually flew off one day and that was the last we saw of Henry, we hope he has a mate and is safe.

This famous land mark home was the home of the Hesketh family, its a monument to the past and well worth a visit next time your in the Liverpool area. It really does look exactly like this picture.

I am always fascinated by this amazing art work, its a Briar or Bramble but carved from a single block of wood. Those leaves are even carved underneath! Last time I saw it, they had it hanging on the wall next to that long upstairs window and to the left hand side.

It has also been displayed as a table top piece, so ask when your inside, there are stewards on each floor to advise you. Most work for free for the National Trust.

How hard can that be.
