The ancient art of macramé<br />
The origin of macramé stretches back thousands<br />
of years ... it’s an ancient, timeless art that, over<br />
the past year or so, has come back into fashion.<br />
We recently discovered Tide, a local business that<br />
creates bespoke, beautiful macramé art. Being<br />
hand-crafted, pieces are all one of a kind, each<br />
more lovely and intricate than the one before.<br />
Artist Gabi Morrell-Smith travels to the coast<br />
to collect the shells and driftwood she uses in<br />
her pieces ... work of art wall hangings, pretty<br />
garlands, shopping or beach bags. We’re after<br />
one of these plant hangers and are equally<br />
besotted with these little jar covers. Great,<br />
great gifts (if you’re like us and already thinking<br />
Christmas). Tide has a really fabulous range,<br />
but if you want something specific, chat to Gabi<br />
and she’ll make up a custom piece for you. Prices<br />
from R200 up to around R750. Details: Follow tide<br />
macrame on Instagram or Facebook for more ideas, or mail<br />

No space to grow your own veggies?<br />
Think again. These ready-to-use pocket<br />
panels hang on the wall and are<br />
perfect to grow herbs and vegetables.<br />
There are a few sizes available, from<br />
two pockets for those really short of<br />
space, to 15 panel options. Priced from<br />
R195, they’re lightweight and durable.<br />
