Well not really, in fact not at all – we’re still in the land of fish ‘n chips – but we are back with a few items for sale. We still have a few larger pieces of furniture in our store rooms, so I got Thandie and Kabelo on the case, and I’ve been super […]

It’s time to say goodbye to our rather lovely home in Jozi. When we first bought it, it was a mess of styles, with crazy paving (indoors!), mixed with ’90’s beige tiles, and original parquet flooring, but over the years we’ve lovingly renovated the house to bring some congruity to the space, which now flows […]

So, we have some big (and actually a wee bit sad) news to share – Justin and I have decided to move to the UK. We’ve been considering it for some time now, but Covid obviously speeded the decision making process up rather drastically! The plan was to wrap things up with Mint much later […]

So sorry for disappearing on you like that! With the world turned upside down recently, some of you may not even have noticed that Mint went on a sudden hiatus last week Monday, but we’re happy to announce that we’re back! I’m certain that everyone will have their own story to tell about the events […]
Continue readingUnfortunately because of circumstances beyond my control (there seems to be a lot of that going around, doesn’t there!), I’m having to stop posting new items on Mint for the next few days. We should be back up and running by Monday latest, but with fewer daily items than normal. So sorry for the disruption, […]
