milla's Batmitzvah
This
was the delightful celebration of a young girl turning
13 years old. The theme for the event was Rock Chic with a palette of
cerise,
soft pink and punk black with a touch of sparkle. We transformed the
family
home into a party venue with hot pink tent as focal point, shabby chic
comfy
lounge spaces, piñatas filled with sweets and gifts for the girls,
pompoms,
origami chandelier, butterflies and pink orchids. I decided to give this
girl a
wishing balloon tree (3m high) that was displayed in the garden. She
wrote her wishes onto her wishing notes, attached them to the balloons
and let them disappear
into the sky! The dessert table, which was to die for, was styled as a
tiered
skirt, with customised sweets, designer cake pops and pink lemonade by
Cara.
Cornelia hosted the stylish affair on their farm,
Kalmoesfontein, just outside Malmesbury. A few of us worked together to create
the perfect event for this special babyshower. It was very warm and loving with
a cosy farm theme, complete with freshly laid fortune eggs as gifts for the
guests. These fortune eggs is hollow eggs, filled with gold glitter and a personal fortune note for each guest! I used old egg carton boxes that we filled with delicious herbs from the farm and was then used as gift favour for our guests. The menu was printed in gold leaf on doilies that was placed at each seating. Oh, and the food made by my partner, Cara was a mouth full of delight! A
very big thank you to Cornelia for letting us be part of this amazing event.
Another gigantic thank you to

Decorex's Inspirational Theatre
What
a pleasure it was to present at the Decorex show this year! Reworking the
Sunday lunch by creating wonderful food with Simonsberg cheese and styling the
table in a effortless and affordable manner. I showed the audience how to wow
your guests with easy and affordable decor.
Although
this was very stressful, as we have never done something like this before, we
enjoyed it very much! It was great that the audience came and spoke to us
afterwards. It seems like people liked what we did!
Errieda
du Tiot wrote a very flattering article about us at Decorex, which was
published in Burger. Other than that, here are some beautiful photo's, taking
by the very talented Roxy, of our Decorex presentation. The food was
beautifully prepared and demonstrated by Cara, while I did the table styling
for our Modern Sunday lunch!
ceramic heart bowl
So I got to the point of actually casting my latest design, very happy and proud of this piece and it just warms my heart! I designed this bowl to help you serve dishes with love without having to decorate your food!
This bowl is 250mm in diameter and 40mm in depth and is great for soups, salads and desserts. The plate will be available at a few shops and via direct order from Meanttobe.
