Magic Uncle and Auntie

Hazel's Magic Uncle and Auntie (Jena and Thomas)
are here; our South African friends that live in
New York and through whom Greg and I met!
They gave Hazel a beautiful wooden "wand" for her birth
(a branch that Uncle Thomas carved so beautifully!) .
Magic Auntie is always surrounded by flowers
so that's why there were these beautiful Protea's.

Protea: the national flower of South Africa!


Jena and Thomas really know how to do magic.
In a couple of months Thomas turned an old
pig-sty in to a wonderful house...


It is not totally ready yet, but every single detail
is beautiful about it. They absolutley have great taste!
It is an amazing combination of rough and
delicate, with exciting suprises in every corner,
like these sweet little animals.


I love this unfinished wall, table and tap.



And isn't this a stunning still-life?
