Stoep . . . patio . . . terrazza . . . korto . . .

We are born at a given moment,
in a given place and,
like vintage years of wine,
we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born.

As it is the time for Spring to pay us a visit in South Africa it was time to do something to the stoep server.

A little Vignette

The question is what is a vignette?

1. A small illustration placed at the beginning or end of a book or chapter

2. A short graceful literary essay or sketch
3. A photograph, drawing, etc, with edges that are shaded off

But so we still call it a Vignette and the most important thing is to enjoy your life.

To be happy

Its all that matters.

I love history... everything is inspired by history, so that's why I love vintage and antiques.

Thanks for visiting may you all have a wonderful week.

Love from South Africa

Sandstone, Stairs and the Attic

We had to rebuilt the stairs to our Attic Room

The sandstone blocks were so heavy and it took some time to built.

The waiting . . . . it was worth it.

We hope to see you all soon

Garden and Sandstone

After a couple of years our garden wall has been completed.

We were thinking of a gabion set-up.

There was a lot of sandstone pieces available after our building project and in the area. We therefore decided to fill the baskets with the sandstone off-cuts.

Our first project was a water feature around a 100 year old oak tree.

The lilies is spouting water into a little water pond.
