Farmstyle Market Opening Launch!
Come and join us for our opening Launch, 30 October 2010. An exciting day with exciting events to keep BIG and small busy!
Bring your children and for a R50 donation, we will look after them the entire day, with child minders. Tok tokkie will teach them various CANSA children's messages. We will have them bake funny face pizza's to fill the tummies, take them on pony rides and loads of other fun activities. (See program above)

We will also be hosting a 2km Heels and Hooters fun walk in aid of CANSA. Bring all your friends, dress up in your Heels and Hooters and raise funds for Cancer awareness! Cost is R100 and first 100 entrants get a free T-Shirt!! Free Pierre Jourdan Tranquile wine served afterwards! So bring ALL your friends!!

Let the dads then show their muscle in the Varkie Vang Competition!! We have a medic on board..."Cause this little piggie, went Heeheehee...all the way home!"
Then after all the swine...wine, wine and more wine. We will be pairing our wines with Oysters, red meats, cheeses, preserves and all the other lovely products on offer at The Farmstyle Market!

We invite you to come and spend the day with us, or just pop in for a "Hello". Whatever you do...don't miss out on this unique event...cause we will NEVER have an opening function for the centre again!! (But not to worry...we will find some completely invalid and useless excuses to have some more parties and functions in the future!!)
Till Saturday!!

I guess it is not everyday that a normal person like me, get the opportunity to feel like a MOVIE STAR!! Well, on a sunny spring morning, the Getit crew with studio lights, make-up artists and all, took the Farmstyle Market captive for my Front Page photo shoot!
My visions of the "Bright Lights and Big Cities" were finally realised! Hollywood...here I come!! Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would be because I made Lampshades!! I envisioned my celebrity status to be as result of me being a famous filmstar or opera singer! But alas, no. Stardom in those two industries eluded me for obvious reasons! And there we have it! A Front Page photograph of me...because I just did what I do and hopefully I do it well!
If you were not lucky enough to get a copy of this magazine, you can read the article on www.getitonline.co.za
Once again, thank you to Getit!! You are a magazine in a million!!

Yes, I know I am exactly 2 weeks late!! And NO, my flu has not subsided yet...but I have decided that I will now officially celebrate Spring!! I trust my enthusiasm will ward off the looming cold front, but with 2 days in the 35 degrees, consecutively...I can only remain the eternal optimist!! And how better to celebrate the approaching warmth by planning my Summer Garden!! I had so much fun shopping for my plants at the nursery yesterday. I bought Yellow Clivias, French Moss and the most beautiful Azaleas in all the vibrant colours. Somehow I think these little plants felt nostalgic this cold winter, longing to be back home in their snow covered lands of origin. Thoroughly rewarding us with a gigantic explosion of colour! I guess they too are pleased that winter is now FINALLY over!! "Mmmm, said the eternal optimist!"
