old biscuits in cape town

Whoohoo. I'm back online in Cape Town, South Africa - the internet cafe was really a drag. Last Saturday we were at the Old Biscuit Mill, in Woodstock, stuffing ourselves with foodie goodies (unfortunately no oysters this time around, but I had some delicious macadamia nut and chocolate biscuits). I love this market because of the unique stuff for sale - no cheap plastic stuff here. My friend Silvia has a fun range of babies clothes called Petite pois and next to her in the kids section, was ScrapsKissKiss (I blogged about before).

Market independence

Today was the market. (May 5th independence day in the Netherlands). I have been blogging a while about it and sewing things for a while, but today was finally D-day (sorry no pun intended). It's actually a rommel (junk) market, but my friend Kim (who had a stand last year) thought handmade things would sell too. She was right ... after the early morning bargain hunters had left.

Her Amy Butler stash and dash bags sold fabulously. She really has a lot of taste when it comes to mix and match (I am jealous). My bags did ok (perhaps African prints are not everyone's taste) even though they were very modestly priced (4 euros). Very few people looked at the fabric necklaces :(I assume I am ahead of fashion) and the neck scarves didn't do too well either.

The movers arrive on Friday, so we of course had a fair bit of rommel to add to the equation, which resulted in us making a decent days wage. Yay
