Their boxes are hand made and covered in a variety of fabrics to suit your decor.

They have these cute wooden nappy stackers.

And beautiful cot linen sets.

We do have a selection of toy boxes, nappy stackers and cot linen in the shop waiting to be purchased.

So I logged on as quick as I could and checked out her web site and my eyes hurt from all the pretty!

She makes the most beautiful wedding cakes and occasion cakes.

And she also makes the prettiest little petit fours that can double us as wedding favours or just to add some pretty to a function.

When I chatted to her about our wedding and mentioned I was gluten intolerant she said “NO PROBLEM” and sent through a quote for a dark chocolate and nachtmuzik cake – how delicious does that sound.

Inge, the talent behind Cake Cartel is extremely helpful. I sent her ideas, she sent me ideas and we are busy working on a final product for our wedding.

What caught my eye of the range of products she makes was the little personalised aprons – so much so that I immediately bought one for my little niece.

Your childs name is added and a little cupcake -isn’t it just so gorgeous?

Once I had the little apron in my bag I noticed the stunning “wall tidy” she had hanging up. In my new determination to be all things organised this really appealed to me. She makes a variety of them – some for toys, some for books and some for shoes. They are bright and bold and neat and really are must haves for any little persons room.

She also makes the cutest little people from socks.

And these lovely kids bags that come with a matching pencil case.

And just for Christmas there are some handmade Christmas decorations

We have all of the above items available in our shop except for the wall tidy’s.

Should you wish to enquire further about any of these items please contact me laurakim@journey2joy.co.za

She makes jewellery and home ware from perspex and wood and it really is the funkiest things you will find.

We received our stock yesterday and I was beyond excited to put it on the shelves.

We received an assortment of studs, pendants, badges, wrapping paper and the most amazing place mats!!!

I like pretty things. I find great joy in wondering around craft and antique shops and shops piled high with pretty things to give or to keep.

When we found ourselves with a shop a little bigger than we actually thought it would be, what else could we do but full it with pretty things.

Journey2Joy is about finding your joy. It is a place where local artists can show case their products and where you can walk around to find the ideal gift, accessory or just something pretty for your house.

All the products are made in South Africa and you can see all the supplier details on the left hand side of this page.

It can present itself as an itchy rash with flaky dry skin. It has a variety of causes from fabric softeners to allergies to stress.

While it is not contagious it can become painful and the source of much frustration and stress for moms of little ones who suffer from it.

Our eczema range may be the solution to the problem. We have had huge success with this range of products and I personally firmly believe that if your child suffers from eczema then you need to add our range to your daily regime.

We have the cream, body wash, glycerine soap and bath oil – all three of these products are made with a combination of ingredients that will soothe and nourish the skin. It is a natural product that contains no harsh chemicals so is perfectly safe to use on all ages including newborns and all skin types.

Some feedback from clients who have used this product with great success

Greetings, My (twin) boys have really suffered terribly in their nearly 3 years of life and it seems that your product is really helping. I have been using it for 2 weeks now and they are almost cleared!! They had a big op (tonsillectomy, grommets, etc etc) 2 weeks ago, so I am not sure if this has helped improve their skin too. ….but I will def come back and get some more cream from you shortly. Many thanks for your wonderful concoction!! Andrew

Only 3 washes with @TranqBodyTreats Eczema top-toe wash & J’s scalp eczema (4 which I’ve tried many things) = almost completely cleared up! – Ankia

and that would be the eczema (spell?) cream. I was skeptical, but it’s worked like a bomb. – Jackson Mom

If your little one suffers from this skin irritation then contact us to order.

You can email me laura@tranquilbodytreats.co.za for more information.

Blogs have been one of my major sources for finding new, pretty things for our shop.

Lauren featured these ladies on her blog and I mailed them the moment I saw the post.

They make the prettiest stationery – note books, writing sets and address books as well as tote bags.

And we received our stock last week and LOVE IT.

Pretty aren’t they

I made her a nappy cake as the centre piece and I am so chuffed how it came out

When Kiara came along I went with a bug theme which was very cute – a lot cuter than Winnie-the-Pooh anyway :-p

Nursery decor has come a long way since then! While browsing Etsy for baby shower favours I found the cutest nursery themes. It actually made me want to have a baby just so I could decorate the nursery.

This whole range is awesome. These vinyl wall stickers are removable and come in the most amazing themes and colours.

Simple Shapes Vinyl Wall Stickers

These prints are so stunning also and you can keep them up as baby grows.

I wish I had found these mobiles for Kiara. She would have loved them.

Etsy is full of stunning ideas and products. I decorated many many rooms while doing this post There are also more traditional ideas. Spend some time browsing and getting ideas to put together the perfect nursery.
