The days before the exhibition were crammed with craziness! But I must confess, the day before is my favourite. I always take a good half hour and spend time picking the flowers I want to use as part of the displays. 'Penny gum' and 'baby's breath' are non-negotiable, but then there are always beautiful little bursts of exotic colour that I can't resist. There is a beautiful flower shop in Windhoek, and there are always these little exotic faces that have travelled from who knows where!
The guests:
I was very excited about this exhibition as it was my first time back in Swakopmund since living in Windhoek, and I was so happy to see all our friends. Such special people. Thank you for all your support!
On the business front:
My sincere apologies to all the husbands who were emailed suprise invoices the next day ; )
The venue:
A very special friend of mine offered me her home. What a privelige to have such a beautiful exhibition space! The space worked so well, and the lighting was just perfect. Bruna, jy was 'host' en 'sales lady van die jaar' - baie baie dankie!
Event co-ordinater:
My husband is the biggest help before an exhibition. He helps me with what ever needs to be done! He rolls metal in the evenings if I have a deadline, he designs my excel spreadsheets, he makes the best tea and he takes my workshop assistant for walks when I need to work. The beautiful display cupboard for my gold jewellery was built and designed by him.

Old window frames also 're-vamped' by my husband (above).
New stock on its way : )
