The last Saturday of each month is the day Jesse, Liesel and I set up our stall at the NeighbourGoods Market at the Old Biscuit Mill in Salt River.

Rika Takada
Thanks to Irene at Bloesem – well, just thanks generally for her great blog – but thanks specifically for reminding me of Rica Takada’s work. I reckon I’ll use this book cover as inspiration for the”What’s for supper?” food illustrations I’ve been doing for FairLady. Aiming high…
