OMG it's Vernon!!

I just had to show you some photos from Saturday!! We have an annual wine show here, the Jo'burg wine show, which we go to every year, usually a whole crowd of us. This year unfortunately my hubby was away on a golfing weekend so I went with my 3 sons, some of their friends and some of mine.

Us girls onto the champagne, and no I am not singing!! haha
And then we spotted Vernon Koekemoer, South Africa's own Chuck Norris. I don't exactly know why he became famous, but he did. He has a mullet and dresses in these ridiculous clothes and has huuuuge muscles. And after a couple of glasses of wine we had to get photos with him!! And then we spotted out favourite local radio personality Jeremy Mansfield and took some photo with him too! After the wine show we went to watch the finals of the super 14 Rugby, and South Africa won, although not the team our family supports. These were taken in the car on the way!Oh yes, far too much wine!!!
Don't forget the collab between KimB and I, Angels Tears is still on sale at 35% off until the end of Friday only!!

The big surprise is that my friend and fellow South African designer KimB Designs and I eventually got together to do a collab, and we are so excited about how it turned out!! We did it for the winner of the Custom Designed Kit contest, Dani,who created the swatch and came up with the theme, held a few months ago, and it has taken us this long to get it done!! It is a wine themed kit called Angels Tears, named after a famous South African Wine, Angels Tears, the legend goes like this:
In the 17th century, amidst the lush vines of the Cape,South Africa, a dream to create a heavenly vintage was born.
An angel overhearing the villagers took it upon herself to make their dream come true. She crept into the cellar by night to sample the fruits of the vine.
Overjoyed by the sublime quality and their respect of nature, tears fell from her eyes onto the grapes and a fine ambrosial wine was created.
To this day, every drop of Angels Tears wine is a testimony to history and dignity and is to be shared with every traveller.
Grande Provence is home to this legacy.

So introducing Angels Tears!! You can get it in Kim's shop or mine at 35% off for one week only!
