Something special!

Hi again.  Hope everyone is well and enjoying February, whatever kind of weather you might be having!  Here in the Eastern Cape, where we are now living, the weather is hot and sunny most of the time, but also thunderstorms in between;  most days are great for going to the beach though!

Both I and James, my partner, are working hard to get our creative work and juices flowing again - me with the mice (obviously) and also some new book/food ideas, and him with his wonderful upcycled furniture and decorative items, most made from metal and wood.  He's been doing this for more than 10 years, and his creations have featured in lots of different places, from magazines to home/decor/green shows all over the world.

My favourite pieces of his are - not surprisingly - ones that bring nature/animals to mind - so I am including a picture of one of his metal scupltures.  Definitely something special and different.  If anyone would like a closer look at some of the things he has created over the years, please look at his website, www.art27.yolasite.com - lots of inspirational stuff on there.  (I am hoping that one day he will make me a table or server with old irons for feet!)

Anyhow, enjoy your week and please send feedback to me about anything you find interesting on my blog - I love to receive your comments!  Gail x
