Last week my very dear friend, Vaughn Barkhuizen, chose an extremely auspicious day for the opening of his first retail store in Cape Town, Linen & Home....my birthday!! After months of planning, weeks of putting plans into action & last frantic hours his masterpiece was ready for the unveiling.....& absolutely marvellous it is looking too! For those wanting (no...NEEDING) fabulous bed linen, the store is located at the bottom of Wynberg hill opposite Farriers....may I recommend the 400 threadcount.....after that anything else feels like you're sleeping on sandpaper, darling!! For those needing a helping hand with the decorating of their homes...Vaughn's your man....what can I say, he is a multi-talented guy with excellent taste...
Surrounded by friends & family, the store has well & truly been christened.....we're not going to mention quite how many cases (ahem, yes cases...did anyone say 29??) of champers were consumed in our efforts to do justice to the occasion. Ambrosia Catering provided the seriously yummy food & I also thank their very patient staff for allowing me to photograph (almost) everything that came out of the kitchen.
CONGRATULATIONS Vaughn & Carmen (I feel it should be pointed out here that behind every successful man there is a strong & successful woman.....) - may the business go from strength to strength - you deserve every success!!
So you're a Taurean too - happy birthday for last week! Stroke of luck that there was all that champers on hand!
