This painting, created by Jenna from @jenna_alheit_studio , captures the heart of our family farm which was sold at the end of last year. It is a place deeply woven into my childhood, where I celebrated first birthday parties, attended my first school dance, and experienced so many other "firsts" that shaped me. My father, a winemaker and the fifth generation of the renowned @landskroonwines , carried forward a proud legacy here.
The view of Table Mountain, framed by dams, vineyards and unforgettable sunsets, will forever be etched in my memory. Thank you, Jenna, for creating this precious piece of art, now I can carry the spirit of home with me always, a timeless reminder of where I grew up and where our family story unfolded.
We spent the most relaxing weekend away in the charming town of Vermont. The house was absolutely beautiful - thoughtfully styled with calming details and a touch of greenery that made it feel like a serene hideaway. One of the highlights was watching Christiaan try crayfish for the very first time - safe to say he's a fan! From the peaceful surroundings to delicious coastal treats, it was the perfect little escape.
