Vintage collectables

This month saw the return of another open house of Vintage Collectables at Sue Langerman's beautiful home in Rondebosch. She always has the most amazing vintage dresses and teacups. This time I bought 2 dresses, a coat, a scarf and a clutch. To find out when the next one will be, follow the blog or add your name to the mailing list.

Don't forget that the LAST Friday of each month, is the church sale in Gardens. It's from 12-3pm. There are always loads of bargains and loads of vintage. Its at the Presbyterian church opposite the famous Engen on Orange garage.

A novel idea

I have started reading this wonderful story called The Paris wife by Paula McClain. It's the true story of how Ernest Hemingway met his wife in Chicago in the 1920's and they then travel to Paris. Set in Jazz-Age, glamorous, post-war Paris, this searing novel of ambition and betrayal, captures a remarkable period of time (and outfits), and a love affair between two unforgettable people.
