What a great event. I was delighted to be at this ‘annual digital, tech & online conference, networking hub and big day out in KZN.’

A day full of info and connecting.

Some of the highlights for me were:

Starting out the day with a brilliant fast-paced presentation by Mike Saunders – Succeeding in a Digital World – We are operating in a connection economy. Our number 1 asset is connection!

Hearing the talented media consultant Cath Jenkin – share great tips for creating a successful online presence – Everything you do online is a tattoo. It’s pretty much permanent. So think carefully.

Being inspired by the presentation by Steve Gray – Analogue is the new Digital – Authentic is cool – Handmade, shared, locally sourced.

Meeting my antithesis. I am conflict averse, and do my best to avoid any form of it. Bob Perfect of Durban is Yours welcomes it. Really interesting to hear his point of view on youth culture.

Look out for this annual event this time next year. It’s well worth a visit!

The Miss+ Meisie duo – Wendy Douglas of Sketchbok Dbn and Jess Binns of Hector and Bailey – hosted a quality event this past weekend, and Freshly Found was so delighted to have been part of it.

Have a look at some of the pics and read all about the wonderful Miss + Meisie Showcase on Sketchbok.

“We had just a fantastic response to our first Durban showcase for miss+meisie!

A big big thank-you to all you lovely durbanites for your amazing support, and to all those that spread the word on instagram, thank-you!”

My daughter’s 21st on Saturday went so well! It was an awesome celebration. Unfortunately I didn’t take as many pics of the decor as I would have liked, but these will give you an idea.

The evening was held at Bellevue Cafe. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. I can really highly recommend them for special functions.This pic was taken as we were setting up in the late afternoon:

The guests had so much fun with the props – picture frames, hats and umbrellas. I am glad my son captured the paper packet lanterns too!

The theme was floral vintage and we used paper flowers, lace, heart confetti, doilys cast in plaster of paris, vintage silver, etc to help set the the theme.
