Christmas Crackers caring for our environment

Christmas is less than a month away... Via the stylist, Kim Gray, we discovered the awesome Cupcake Couture company. They make these crafty crackers to do a little bit for our environment this Christmas. You can pick the gifts inside... mini tape measure corsages, small sewing kits, pencil crayons, wax crayons, matchbox notebooks... take your pick. The ingredients: fairly useless insides of toilet rolls which usually land up in the bin and old magazine pages. Once Christmas is over, make sure that the crackers are recycled with your other old newspapers. For more information please mail them on lovecupcakecouture@gmail.com.

Creative Charity event with a twist!











We were recently very proud to be requested by Aleit to take part in the Live at Your Table event in Stellenbosch. Aleit had to present a workshop on party trends and decided to go for a paper theme.
As guests received on arrival a vintage handmade paper flower - which the guests loved. One of the tables was wrapped in textile pattern paper topped with doily place settings and mini milk cartons with the menu, guest name and vintage artwork printed onto it.
We always enjoy working for such a creative event and look forward to the next one!
