The Team: Kerstin zu Pan, Photography, Shirin Kuerschner, Make up, Ronette Liebenberg, Model …….. & Me

Location: Riebeek Kasteel & West Coast National Park, Western Cape South Africa

Headed off in the City Bowl at 5.30 in the morning with the most beautiful atmosphere heading up the West Coast, via Malmesbury to Riebeek Kasteel. For everyone new to SA, you must visit. It is the sweetest town with the friendliest people you can find. Arrived at the Royal Hotel at 7 in the morning and the staff was just the best. Thanks so much!!


The Royal Hotel with its huge veranda. Must be the biggest stoep in Southern Africa…



if you ever visit The Square on Short Street. Don’t forget to do lunch at the Bar Bar Black Sheep and browse through the Ancient Spirit store for treasure finds

Shirin with her famous eagle eyes doing the last touch ups before the shot


Had a mouth watering late breakfast at Cafe Felix. They also have a beautiful guest house on their grounds. The Old Oak Manor. Book the Loft. You won’t want to leave.


Kerstin fell in love with this chair at Cafe Felix. So, the ladies carried it across the road under this beautiful bougainvillea. Wait till you see the end result. It looks like an unreal wonder forest full of blossoms.

Up the pass from Riebeek heading to the West Coast National Park





What a beautiful day. Thanks to the whole team. Shirin for your professionalism and pleasant working mood, Kerstin for being such a great artist and friend and Ronette for doing a great job! It was a pleasure working with you guys. Can’t wait for the shots!

Designer-Maker Artisan Market

Posted on: November 24th, 2011 by Carmen No Comments

We will be exhibiting at the Designer-Maker Artisan Market from Dec 14 to Dec 16. This festive exhibition will take place in the courtyard behind the Freeworld Design Centre and the Hemelhuijs Restaurant. Find excuisite gifts while you sip on a glass of wine, have some good food and listen to live music – couldn’t get better. The market is part of the WalkCapeTown initiative which aims to re-energise the Fan walk.

A few of my favorite exhibitor picks:

 

KERI MULLER

Absolutely blown away by the crazy stuff this lady does with paper. The sculptures are amazing. Her printed illustrations with quotes on them  sound as if they have popped out of a dream box.

 

CASAMENTO

For my love of nostaliga

 

TAMARILLO CERAMICS

Because I have this thing going on with SA ceramics. I could never choose my favorite – they just all make beautiful stuff which you can never get enough of

 

BELOVED BEADS

Anna brings dimension into beads. Her designs are quite something you will most probably never have seen before. And besides, she is the most wonderful person to have at the stall next to yours at a three day exhibition.

 

HEMELHUIJS RESTAURANT

My hubby is quite an energy burning machine. So for him food is more about quantity than quality. Hemelhuijs is the only restaurant ever where he actually paused after the first bite, looked at me a bit dazzled and said. wow, this food is really really tasty!
