This past week we've been busy with a big order for Beluga Bear in Franschhoek. We always supply them with Africa shirts – this is one of my favourites.
I'm sending these two growers up to Joburg. I made them for my mum, whose best friend's son had twins, Luke ad Olivia, a few weeks ago. Welcome to the world little Rademans!
Sorry for the lack of posts this week - I'm having a few technical problems, and can't connect to the Internet from home. Hope to get it all sorted this weekend. I have a few lovely bags to show you; my mum found some incredible fabric, so I've been cutting up a storm!
So - here's one of the little handbags we've made at The Crazy Aunt Company. You'll be seeing a lot more of these on the site. Every bag is hand stitched, and my aim is for every one to be made from a different combination of fabric (because putting the fabrics together rocks my world). They're different on both sides (the two pics above are one bag), and are lined. Totally easy to throw in the washing machine and iron afterwards. If you want a girl's name embroidered onto a bag, we can do that for you before we start to stitch it together (drop me a line for a quote). Price: R85
Here's some of the fabric I'll be using to make the girls' handbags. They all seem to love pink, but if you think I should make bags in other colours, please let me know!
Future Traveller was made especially for little Madison, who was born this morning. Her mum and dad are crazy about travelling, so mom Tamryn's colleague's wanted a grower that meant something to the new parents. Welcome to the world, Madison!
This dress reminds me of the orange ice creams and popsicles we had as kids. Lazy summer days, bare feet and afternoon storms. Good, good times! Price: R120
I think of my little niece in Durango when I see this top, because it also reminds me of snow. When Karlee and Tina moved back to the States, and Karlee saw snow for the first time, she ran back to Tins gasping "Sugar! Sugar!". Little pumpkin. Price: R85
