Mirror Frames

Distinctly finished with scalloped edging, our shimmering Venetian glass frames are velvet-backed with a clever stand that enables each photograph to be displayed portrait or landscape.

5 x 7.5cm

R100 each

Like take these gorgeous Mirror Frames that we have in stock, these are not just for bringing your favourite photographs to life , but use these classic Venetian glass frames when you throw a party:

1. Frame the Menu Card or place one at the bar counter sharing the ingredients of the signature cocktail being served.

2. Place one at each place setting with a name card inside.

3. Have a self-service photo booth: use either a Polaroid or digital camera, and then give the frames as party favours together with the prints.

4. For a milestone birthday, frame photos of the guest of honour through the years and place these next to the table centerpieces.

5. Sit one on the guestbook table asking guests to “Send your Best Wishes” and in the case of a wedding add “To the new Mr. and Mrs.”

hippity hop

These rabbits live in a wonderful lair behind a tiny hill-top. There are sisters and brothers, nephews, cousins and a whole family. Every morning they wake up the sun, before it rises, and in the evening they eat star-sprinkles with warm milk using a silver spoon.

Here at In Good Company we love these little bunnies from Maileg, and we have a whole warren – including very very big ones! And just wait and see what we have in store for Christmas, so come back and have a peek November 1^st!

got milk?

If any one who knows me, I love milk, and when asked do you take milk – my reply “Yes, half the cow please!” Though I think my husband is getting a bit tired of my desperate emails at 7pm to pick up milk on the way home from work! So I think I need to use this little creamer more often that way I can see when the milk has run dry and I know to do my own milk run…

Half Pint is an artfully blown and molded glass creamer that captures the comforting familiarity of a mini milk carton. Simple, elegant, whimsical - it’s a gem de la crème.

It’s oh so lovely to give (and receive) a beautifully wrapped gift, no matter what the occasion or the contents.

There’s inspiration everywhere – stationery shops, haberdasheries, nature, your own home, and of course right here In Good Company. We offer a beautiful assortment of ribbons for that final, perfect touch to any gift.

These are some gifts I would just love to receive …
