Mugs in my shopThe title of this post says it all, really, but I’ll say it again: I have some ceramic mugs for sale in my Etsy shop. I’ll have more for sale soon, but must first take more snaps. You can see other at my Flickr page too.

Ikat
IkatI bought Paul a present last week – this silk Ikat cushion from Turkey (actually, I got it in Rondebosch, just 15 minutes away!). It looks like my photo is out of focus, but it’s not – that’s just what Ikat weaving does to your eyes, and one of the reasons that hippies like it …

Go see Kamers
Go see KamersI’ve had a somewhat lethargic week (even had a nap or two!) after setting up the Kamersvol Geskenke show on Monday. All the preparations really took it out of me.
