NEW GOODIES

sambellina

We are so excited to introduce the simple and stylish Sambellina range of designer kids party products. The collection includes tableware, invitations, and gift tags so you can fully coordinate your little one's big day!

Here is a message from the creative director herself…

Hello - I'm Kate and I am very excited to introduce Sambellina, a new collection of designer party accessories and stationery especially for children (or the young at heart). Sambellina has been created out of a life-long passion for all things paper, doodling & drawing, and beautiful birthday parties…

Samantha, my 4 year old, is the ultimate party client. Everyday she is either a princess, fairy, mermaid or ballerina. My little girl has reminded me how much fun it is to draw, create and of course, have a delicious birthday party! For her 4th birthday, she started her party planning about 12 months ahead with a new idea every day - and so, Sambellina was born. My fun-loving little man Christian has been known to wear a fairy dress and crown, but also loves trains, cars and tractors... so I can't wait to put together his 2nd birthday.

Our new party collection has been designed with a boutique style in mind while keeping it simple and sweet for children to love. By using classic polka dot and striped designs together with lovable characters and gorgeous details, the co-ordinated party range will capture the imagination of little ones and help to make it easy and fun to create a very special (and stylish) celebration.

braai day

As National Braai Day is nicely coincided with Heritage Day, 24th September 2009, there is an obligation for every citizen to host a braai! Naturally there will be the typical boerewors and lamb chops, but in our house it is just not a braai without potatoe salad. My mom makes the best, I on the other hand, am not a very good cook so I take a few shortcuts with mine... but at least I can say the presentation looks good in our Greengate Melamine red spot salad bowl.

Who knows how to liven up a party? YOU do! Each of these photo- realistic paper cups comes emblazoned with a new nose. When you tip your head to take a drink – voila – you get an instant nose job, and a chuckle from the crowd. Remember, never turn your nose up at a good laugh! There are 24 cups in each pack, evenly divided between male and female proboscises (errr, noses).

BOOK OF THE WEEK

summer nights

Sometimes the best ideas are in the most unlikely places. Like I am still trying to learn Swiss German, and get past my three favourite words Gruezi (Hello), Auf wiedersen (Goodbye) and Viele Dank (Thank-you very much). So my husband had every reason to raise his eyebrow when I bought this book! But it is full of wonderful original ideas for summer entertaining and step by step instructions on how to do it yourself. As an added bonus it is a strong motivator for me to learn what has actually been written in German, thank goodness for now it is full of 100s and 100s of beautiful photographs.

BIRTHDAY CANDELABRA

Traditional birthday candles are fine for a kid’s cupcake, but they don’t help create a special mood for that certain someone. If you want a little ambience to go with that chocolate truffle cognac cheesecake, then our Birthday Candelabra is here to help light the way. It’s an elegant candle with three wicks – but who’s counting?

Available in Pink or Silver.

funhouse

When throwing a party one of the places I always like to decorate is the bathroom. Think about it, just about everyone of your guests will visit the room sometime during the event, so you want to be sure it is party proof. Besides having some lots of loo paper, nice towels and soap, what about some fun? These mirror clings are sure to surprise everyone and bring a smile to their face whether it be at a kid's party or even a wedding!

INSPIRATION

Mood boards

I just adore mood boards – making them and looking at them! We’ve all got last month’s (or year’s!) magazines lying around the house so scour them for inspiring images for your next party or home décor project. Beautiful images from travel, home, food, fashion spreads will spark ideas for your own party. Send us your mood board and we’ll suggest items from In Good Company for that final, perfect touch.

Wouldn’t these little bird nests be just right for the above mood board?

Miniature natural bird’s nests with "eggs" and ribbon for a creative bomboniere/favour or decoration.

Price: R10.00
