On the spur of the moment I found myself in Cape Town for a four day ashtanga workshop with Michael Hamilton at Mysore Yoga Cape Town. A lovely, exhausting, enriching four days … I feel full to the brim with information and re-inspired by the practice.
February also happens to be a month renowned for its near perfect weather in the Cape, so all in all it was pretty fantastic few days in the Mother City!

These ceramics from studioLORIER are beauteous. I think my morning cuppa would look (and taste) even better in one of the ceramic polygon cups.

Lenneke Wispelwey ceramics
Lenneke Wispelwey honestly makes some of the most beautiful porcelain items I’ve ever clapped eyes on. The styling on the site is also sublime.
Klomp Ceramics
Made in South Africa Klomp Ceramics are glorious. Really.
Here’s some of the Klomp story from their website:
“Klomp Ceramics was born out of a lifetime of preparation. Like a part of herself that had lain in wait for the right time to present itself.
What do you love to do? Mr Klompje asked his wife Alexia. A simple question not always so simple to answer.
‘Ceramics’ said the voice in her dream that night, and that part of herself was awoken.
Alexia Klompje creates handmade ceramics inspired by her life, experiences and things around her. Every piece is one-of-a-kind, adding to each collection’s individual organic quality.”

The Cradle
So close to home and yet so rarely visited.
I went to a wedding in The Cradle of Humankind a few weekends ago (at The Cradle Restaurant and Game Reserve). So lovely! It’s beautiful out there, and (if you avoid the disaster that is Fourways) an easy 40 minute drive from Sandton.
I’m also in love with the Nirox Sculpture Park. I’d like a little house on one of the patches of lawn there. The pictures below were taken at the Jazz in the Cradle event last year – a lovely day.
In the same area, there’s Happy Horse Farm (I mean really, who wouldn’t want to visit happy horses?). That’ll be my next spot to visit in the coming weeks.
Dinosaurs like plants
I’ve done a post on inspired planters before, from another Etsy store.
I’m a little obsessed with their radness.
