I came back from Cape Town on Saturday night with a bit of a nasty tummy bug, which unfortunately seemed to gain in strength last night and this morning, so I’m afraid there will be no 14h00 item for sale today. Hopefully in a few hours’ time I’ll be right as rain, and things will […]
Continue readingAbout eight or nine years ago a customer came to pick something up from our home in Durban. She was really lovely, but I felt like bonking her on the head – truly! She was saying what a great little business I had, and how long did it take me, “About an hour a day?”. […]

For the record I blame Andile. And Lisa. And Mak, Covy, Unathi, Anelisa, Justin, Georgi….well pretty much everyone who attended yesterday’s harmless birthday brunch, that somehow become lunch and ended up with me flat on my bed snoring away instead of taking photographs for Mint for today!

Ola Mint friends!
