Awesome new ladies at the i heart market - KEEP.
I met them at the May market and they were wonderfully friendly and so excited as it was their first market.
I got a beautiful emerald green belt with stars embroidered on it...too vintage!
They have some lovely goodies at the market but they also sell things on their website - KEEP
I will be popping by next month too as these lovely ladies have some gems in stock.
Support a fellow Durbanite and check these ladies out...vintage heaven!

i Heart market and cake pops!
A good friend asked me yesterday: " Friend, have you stopped blogging?"
um no, I have just been ridiculously busy and lazy. I think an equal 50/50 of both.
Bright and early this morning I fought the traffic around Moses Mabidha Stadium to pop in very quickly at the i heart market before work today.
Such a fabulous treat the i heart market is to wander around, support fellow creatives and see familiar faces who are all so friendly.
And meet new faces...I will blog about the newbies later this week as I purchased a stunning emerald green vintage belt.
But, I was lucky enough to get there early enough to buy 80% of Decadant Dani's cake pops for my birthday brekkie with the friends tomorrow morning.
I know it is MY birthday but for some reason I also feel I have to spoil them a little too.
And because it is my birthday ( only on Tuesday but I celebrate a week ahead) I got a cake pop to test as an early birthday present...OMG!
Melt in your mouth, chocolate brownie heaven with a stick on the end. And a few sprinkles to top it off.
Marvelous!
Have a look at her website here and spoil yourself by ordering something.
And go check out the market - 9am til 2pm at Moses Mabidha Stadium opposite Nino's.
Have a super weekend.

The Monday Blues...And Pie and Pint
It has been exactly 10 days since my last blog...I am not going to apologise as my blog is for my enjoyment and those of you that enjoy my scribbles.
So hello again and welcome back.
Everybody seems to have "the monday blues" every Monday. I seem to feel like that everyday as of late so I decided this Monday is the first day of change.
The boyfriend is sick so homemade chicken and noodle soup is brewing on the stove. Made from scratch and with love...I clearly decided to hang ten on my studies this evening.
But for those of you that don't enjoy cooking...Livingston's Gastropub in Glenashley has an AWESOME Mondays special. Pie and a pint. You can't go wrong there now can you?
And with winter starting to creep into the evenings, a pub pie sounds way better than chicken and noodle soup for dinner tonight.
Have a look at the poster below or check out their website here

Craft Trattoria
It is eventually April and heading towards the Easter weekend. Chocolate, religious celebrations and food.
Recently the boyfriend spoilt me to a surprise dinner at the lovely Craft Trattoria in Glenashley for a quick bite to eat. We had heard their pizzas were out of this world and thought it was only fair to try it out.
Glorious pizza bases piled with pancetta, artichokes, mushrooms, butternut, feta and cheese as well as a wheat free base for me with vodka and cream napoletana sauce, chargrilled aubergines, mozzerella and fresh torn up basil leaves literally left us with full tummies, satisfied taste buds and me edging on my seat to write a blog about this hidden food gem.
Overlooking the ships bobbing on the seas, soft relaxing 1920's ( or some kind of 1900 music playing), amazing aromas and friendly staff fill this restaurant and the raw edged furnishings and glass kitchen so you can play peek - a -boo with the kitchen staff and chefs leaves you feeling like you have stepped into someone else's home for an exquisite home cooked meal.
Our waiter was on top form being friendly, chirpy, always there when we needed him and a pure gem as I have found Durban to be lacking in the good service department as of late. With a head of dreadlocks and a bright smile, he looked after us very well.
Do yourselves a favour and explore this place...or at least, explore Durban!
