Say cheese

I’ve used this blog more than once to throw a not-so-subtle hint at the husband for a Christmas gift or two or three.. :-). However, I am now on a new bandwagon – a wagon full of camera stuff!! How cool (and sometimes odd) are these gadgets that I found on Photojojo?

Events in my neighbourhood - Kamers vol geskenke

OK, so maybe Irene in Pretoria is not really "my neighbourhood", but I can get there with the Gautrain, so that is close enough!!

This week the “Kamers Vol Geskenke” (literally translated, this means Rooms Full of Gifts) team brings this very popular event to their new venue, the Open Window School of Visual Communication in Irene.

KAMERS is always a colourful celebration of local creativity, innovation and talent, and has proven to be a runaway hit in the Cape Town area, where it originated. The variety of things on show is such that there isn’t really an emphasis on anything in particular: here you will find handcrafted wear, jewellery, gourmet products, ceramics, soft furnishings, tableware, décor accessories, designer garden gear and clothing. KAMERS is all about high end true craft. So much inspiration (and shopping) on offer!

The show is on from the 29th of November until 3 December, 09:00 – 18:00. For directions click here.

Visit their website or Facebook page.
