One of my favourite Christmas presents this year was from Jeremy. He got me a necklace made by Chloe who is the jewelry designer behind the label blackbird (and who has a stall next to mine at the biscuit mill).
This necklace is a two-piece: a big heart with stripes and a smaller heart with two sparrows (a design taken from the old South African 1/2 cent coin).
I emptied my mom’s coin jar in search of this one to show you (see below).
P.S. If you would like to see more of Chloe’s jewelry please contact her on her email address: ahaggie@mweb.co.za
The farm we went to is called ‘Clouds’ and is owned by a relative of Jeremy’s. They have a small vineyard and every year we all go there to taste the wine and bottle it. It is great fun. 
This will be my FIRST night market at the Biscuit Mill. Last year I went as a shopper and had a really good time - good food, good people and good fun. However this year it will be a little different as I will enjoying the festivities with my bags, standing behind.
One of the KEY things about 2009 that they speak about is the ‘NOW’. It’s about being relevant, being present and being ‘grounded’ (by this I mean, feet on the ground and aware of your surroundings).
Each one comes with a big key ring/loop so that you can hang your new friend from a heavy bunch of keys and he/she won’t come to any harm.
David also makes the most amazing Christmas trees (see below). They stand about 50cm high and are made from only wire and glass beads. If you are interested in purchasing one please
