Something I Made…
Speaking of DIY… Here’s a quick little project I finished last night. A cup cozy! I crocheted the cozy by following these instructions and decided to jazz it up with a felt heart and a big red button. Now my coffee cup is all dressed up!

Beautifully Fragile
I was really excited when I spotted the DIY for these beautiful papier-mâché vessels seen on the latest Elle Decoration SA cover. They give me a sense of fragile but beautiful imperfection and I love it! You can find the DIY over at the Elle Decoration blog.

Books for my Shelf
Last night I was taking a break from studying for the upcoming exams and decided to put together another ModCloth wishlist (of course this is logical!). This time around it’s filled with some pretty awesome books that I would love to own.
Now I have to know, am I the only one who likes putting together wishlists of things I could probably never buy?
Here are my picks:
{1} What Would Audrey Do? – I am a huge fan of anything Audrey Hepburn and this book is no different.
{2} Modern Vintage Style – This book showcases quirky combinations of modern and vintage interiors, full of ideas for my apartment, in other words!
{3} Finish This Book – This is such a great concept to fill in the blanks and create your own story!
{4} Sprinkle Bakes – Sub-title reads “Dessert recipes to inspire your inner artist”. Um, yes!
{5} I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar – I would buy this book for some laughs. And because poor grammar is definitely one of my pet peeves.
{6} Instant Love – I’m busy saving up to buy an instant camera, and this book will guide me in the right direction once I’ve bought it!

Weekend Treasures
Hello friends! How was your weekend? Today I have more than one Weekend Treasures photo for you, as you can see.
I took these photos in my hometown, Henley on Klip. My mom and I took our dog for a walk and I decided to take my camera along. The bridge is just down the road from our house. I love the abundance of trees in our town, and even though the Klip river makes it very cold in winter it’s nice to look at!
Happy Monday, dear readers! And as usual, here are some links to things that inspired me:
- Keiko Lynn’s pretty outfit. She has the best style!
- Cheddar, thyme and rosemary drop biscuits from The Littlest Things. I want to try this recipe today.
- Primp my blog series by Kira over at Her New Leaf. Very helpful tips!
- This quote. It definitely applies to me!
- These magnets are rad!
- This Cheeky Terrarium DIY over at You Are My Fave.
- Interior photography by Aristea Rizakos. Wow!
And here’s a bonus photo of Lady meeting a lion. This is South Africa, after all!

Book Gems
“Life is God’s gift to us. With every sweet breath, we confirm the fact that God has us here for a reason, that He has a plan for our lives. I truly believe that the more we surrender our lives to Him, the more we trust Him with the days He gives us, the better off we’ll be. There is such peaceful freedom, such uninhibited joy, in knowing that God Almighty is the reason we woke up today. If we have tomorrow, it’s because He has more for us to do.” – Karen Kingsbury (Beyond Tuesday Morning)

Weekend Treasures
Hello there, friends. Hope you had a fun weekend! The above photo is of an artwork on our campus. It was done for a project called ‘Canvas’ where the artists had 12 hours to paint something on our subway walls. The theme was ‘If poets could paint’ and hence the Afrikaans poem combined with the painting. This was one of my favourites and I just had to take a picture!
And now for some things that caught my eye over the weekend:
- Photography by Leeming and Paterson. Especially the impressions series. Breathtaking.
- Quirky and fun interiors by EM Design Interiors.
- Someone to follow on Pinterest for beautiful interiors.
- This pearl collar necklace DIY. Love this so much I might just try it.
- Dabble Magazine. Just discovered this online mag today through Caitlin Brown’s blog. Very pretty!
Have a great week, dear readers!
