An icon yet humble man laid to rest today.
I salute you Nelson Mandela.....1918 - 2013


                                                           ( picture and quote from Google.)

Let us pray that your legacy lives on in our beautiful country!
Hamba Gahle  ......go in peace tata.

Tablescape Thursday! Honouring our Madiba!

On Sunday 18 July Nelson Mandela will celebrate his 92nd Birthday!
Happy Birthday to an inspirational man!

My tablescape is in honour of him...
When quoted on his favourite food, he replied:
"Koeksisters are my favourite: in 1941 I was paid 2 pounds and I reserved 10/- each weekend for koeksisters!"


I set a small table outside with my "out of Africa" odd crockery.







detail of my tablecloth....



And my Vuvuzelo on my chair!
