The wedding season

My little sister gets married in 10 days' time. She hates it when I call her that, but I remember with crystal clarity the day she was born – and the day my mum told us she was pregnant – so figure I'm entitled to call her what I will (she has to put up with a string of nicknames from me!). It's going to be such an incredibly special day; so much planning and dreaming and making has gone into what will be Shale and Shaun's wedding.

I fly up to KZN on Friday (with necklaces, ties, corsages and a few other crafted goodies packed) and will be there for the week before the wedding. I'm so looking forward to all the festivities, the final preparations and spending time with my family – but it does mean the Crazy Aunt studio will be closed during that time. I'll be back on the 24th to finish off an order and to prep for the Schoolyard Market at Elkanah, which is on the 30th. Happy days!
