Tutta Bella




I am posting early today-it is about 11:25 am my time here. I have to leave a bit early today to nip in at the shop before fetching the kiddies from school and then we have to bake this afternoon! I have a tea and cake evening at a friends house tonight and the kids have to take something with that they made themselves to "bakers day" on Thursday to school. Each child brings 50c and purchases whatever the baker (or this case bakers!) made. Each child has a turn to be the baker, since I have two kids in the same school, they have to share the honor for this week! lol!

This morning I found a cute little store I didn't even know existed until yesterday. I drove past it and thought I must pop in today! It is delightful. I love these kind of quint, vintage, treasure-trove type shops that make you feel like you are in a wonderland of dainty treasures. I left feeling so inspired!
It is called Tutta Bella and is in Somerset West, South Africa.Take a look:
You see the branchs hanging from the ceiling? It is simply a bunch of branchs tied together that have been spray painted silver. With ribboned hearts hanging off them! I can do that! I am going to try it!


She makes any word out of wrought iron! These are quite big and so pretty.



So that was my fun morning.

Oh, I'd love to visit that shop! Thanks for sharing the photos. I was in a similar shop in the tiny town of Smithville,

Texas, (best known for the movie "Hope Floats" having been filmed there) last week. I wish I had asked to take photos.

I hope you've completely recovered from your migraine.

Thank you for the 2nd part to the kit.

Beautiful photos I also love that kind of shops. They are a fantastic place because even if you don't buy something you can see so many artistic things. People can be very artistic and do things you might never think on. They are such a beautiful places you could almost live in there. Pity you can't. :(

Thanks so much for the photos, the quote and the link and I hope you feel better from your migraine. :)

Best wishes. :O)
