It’s almost time for the annual Cape Town Book Fair again, so if you happen to be a reader, writer or mover and shaker in the publishing world, keep that calendar clear for the 13-15 June.As always, the fair promises to be lots of fun and a great way to experience community literary spirit. Writing is often said to be a lonely occupation, but the book fair completely dissipates that myth! Over the years, the international book fair (established by the Publishers Association of South Africa and the Frankfurt Book Fair in 2006 ) has shown itself to be a roaring success. There are many exciting activities lined up in this year’s programme: there will be functions, displays, workshops and book launches. You’ll get the chance

Shopping

Design, Art and Sales

g-mo

The Christmas season brings that feeling of looming budget-stretching. Eat out everyday, party cares away - that's how Cape Town does the silly season and, we admit, keeping up can be a strain. Luckily, a selection of lady Cape Town's artists and designers, have brought us empathetic solutions to the seasonal strain. Start off the morning with a Garage Sale. Nope, not used jockstraps and one-eyed teddy bears, this Garage Sale is only a Garage Sale by location. Swinging into the sunshine with lemonade and pancakes as of 10AM, Cape Town artists (including our infamous Faith47) commune to show their wares tomorrow (16th Decmber), in a goods-filled garage. The rendezvous point is Eldorado Garages, 3 Military Rd, Tamboerskloof
