In reply to Ms. Nancy Anne McDaniel. Haha thanks. There were several other brilliant outfits at the Rand Club, including a few 50s-era gangsters with (unloaded) guns.

THOSE SHOES ARE DIVINE! And your Murder Mystery ensemble must have been the highlight of the evening. And at The Rand Club too. Dreamy.

Good day 12Summers – I hope this finds you fit and well! Otherwise.

I’m having a book Dreams & Dust published by Footprint Press. It’s a unique history of SA. We’re doing a books launches around the country. https://footprintpress.co.za/product/dreams-and-dust-by-alex-stone/

Also a novel Taken, the first ever written in first-person Elephant https://pegasuspublishers.com/books/fiction/taken

The next is at 3pm on Sunday 20 August at the Johannesburg Country Club. I’d be most honoured if we could meet you there!

I’d like to congratulate you kanohe te kaneohe (face to face) about your fine blog.

It would be like all my Christmasses coming at once – so I do hope we can see you there.

It would be wonderful too, if you’d consider doing a book review for either Dreams & Dust or Taken. What can we do to make this happen?

All the best – and looking forward to meeting you!

In reply to dizzylexa. Agreed. I can't believe it took me so long to get into this.

All great finds from the table, butter dish, shoes etc. etc. I’ve been shopping like this for as long as I can remember and most of the stuff in my home is from mainly charity shops and thrift stores. It’s just such a rush when you find something great for next to nothing – well that sounds like I’m an addict, the kind I don’t mind being.

In reply to AutumnAshbough. Luckily my cats are both pretty good about not jumping up on the counter (hopefully I don't jinx myself).

That table and butter dish are excellent finds. Hopefully your dish stays intact despite two cats!
