Tea houses – we love them too

Finding a good tea-house is not easy these days. So when I stumbled upon dear Contessas, in Rivonia, I was pleasantly surprised. Eclectic to the max with original tea blends - Who could ask for more? There are so many teas on the menu, a concerted effort is going to have to be made in order to soldier my way through them all.

The food is pretty delicious too, and the cakes are out of this world – not exactly what a bride-to-be should be dreaming of but they are really yummo. So if you are looking for somewhere new to try, test this one out – you won’t be disappointed. (See we also cater for tea lovers on cup-of-chino).

Every time I pop in I try a new tea and so far they have all been winners. See what they have to offer http://www.contessateashop.co.za.

Grand Designs 2013 {Chino adventure}

The world of chino has been busy, busy, busy – in a good way. Last weekend chino in-hand I made my way to the Grand Design 2013 show. Iranian cherub was showing off her food demonstration skills and so we decided to head to the West Rand for the morning. Grand Designs always does a pretty awesome job with their set-up and they didn’t disappoint.

There is so much to see, it can be a bit overwhelming. Half way through we had to find a coffee stall in order to nurse our addiction. It gave us the energy to peruse through the rest of the show.  So many amazing stalls, unfortunately for us – we only have an apartment, not a warehouse – so all our purchases were virtual. But one day Grand Designs, one day I will have space for all your wonderful inventions.

Until then I guess the photos will have to suffice.
