book boutique amanzimtoti

I've been in Durban – Amanzimtoti, to be specific – the last few days spending time with my sister and her family. It's been so divine to have my baby playing with all her cousins, my sister has four kids! Today we went for tea at the Book Boutique and I fell in love with this store. Now, Amanzimtoti is like a rural town and you just don't expect these kinds of stores to be in this area, so I was pleasantly surprised. We spent ages browsing through all the books, and I was so happy to see one of my favourite illustrator's work on their walls – Whimsy.

Americano for me, babycino for bubs

I bought a book for the plane ride home with bubs tomorrow, some Whimsy notebooks (one for me and one for my niece Hope), a birch wood bird and a birch wood bunny bookend (love!), a Fancy Nancy book for niece Alexandra and a How to Draw Mr Men book for bubs and her Dad to do together when she's older
