Buzzing bling

I've had the privilege to do my first window exhibition at Kin on Kloof this month.

This exhibition focuses on my use of bees in my jewellery.

Which I have a bit of an obsession with.

 This elaborate beehive structure (that I built by hand) houses 21 once off pieces.

Especially the honeycomb necklaces (more on that later).

Filled with facts about bees as well, I decided to inform people of these lovely little workers.

You know bees are currently dying out? And humanity would not be able to survive without them.

In fact we'd have less than four years before we follow them.

More than a 3rd of our food is produced by the help of bees.

Honeycombs  are the most efficient structures in nature -

the walls meet at a precise 120-degree angle, a perfect hexagon.

Foodie Post: Bread at The Bromwell

Continuing on my promise to post things more regularly on my blog.

I give thee another post about food.

Yes, I eat a lot.

This time I went to one of my stockists, The Bromwell Boutique Mall,

250 Albert Road, Woodstock,

Cape Town

and had lunch with the girls (my dearest Davida and Hestia)

at their restaurant: Bread.

I suggest checking this place out and

then you can go upstairs and buy some of my jewellery *cough cough*

2 words: oh wow.

I've never really had the chance to just relax and take the place in.

Try their orange juice btw...

I think I won't have a cold for months now.

As for lunch...

You need to see the sandwich menu.

Oh wow...

The girls had pork belly ribs.

I had the bacon and Brie,

"Crispy bacon with creamy Brie cheese with fresh mixed

leaves, cranberries and our famous potato chunks"

I'm a sucker for Bacon and this thing is worth it just for the side salad!

Rocket galore.

Anyway I'm done rambling and singing their praises...

Here is a gratuitous shot of my sandwich (which I did not Instagram for a change!)
