A lot of places claim to be “a world in one country,” but I think Cape Town is one of the only places that can claim to be a world in one city. Travelling through the Mother City’s sweet streets, I often find myself reminded of other destinations halfway around the globe. I glance down a street in her city centre and it feels like Glasgow. Another street, it’s Paris, then London, then the winding slopes of San Francisco. Camp’s Bay is South Africa’s answer to Miami Beach, with the bonus of the incredible background of the Twelve Apostles.

Kalk Bay is a sweet little corner of Cape Town known for good eats, sweet bookshops, unique fashion finds, bright colours and lovely views. We took a stroll there last weekend to soak in some colour and sun (and get out of the house a bit!) We brought back some snaps from the feast for the eyes, to share!

I would wear this apron all day.

What’s not to love about this delightfully coloured wall??

Important memo: It’s not just about vintage clothing, accessories or cars anymore. We should now be looking for Vintage Kitchenalia. As you were.

Let’s stroll up Memory Lane together!

These beaded peacocks are amazing. But are they vintage?

DSC_3628

Even outdoor columns deserve trendy patterns.

If it’s vintage-inspired, does it still count?

DSC_3631

Vintage.

DSC_3635_2

Inspired!

Could this stuff be vintage?

Much to this seller’s disappointment, the Bear’s attention to selecting the perfect beaded keychain did not mean the Bear got to *keep* said keychain. “Bear,” said I, “It’s not even vintage, my boy.”

DSC_3638

You guessed it…vintage wall art!

DSC_3648

Sorry, bro, you’re just old.

Which way to lunch, vintage stick man?

DSC_3661

Vintage galore! And a great place for lunch.

We sat outside to enjoy our toasties…

{That’s a wee baby asleep in my arms. Only he’s not so wee.}

But you could have lunch in the vintage train carriage!

This place had a ton of vintage signage…

seriously, if you piled all this signage on a scale and weighed it, the display would read: One Ton. {No Pun Intended here.}

When is it safe to say this stuff is just… old?

Okay, let’s get back to beautiful and tie this thing off with the favourites. This must be the longest Travelling Tuesday ever.

See that lighthouse up there? It’s vintage.

DSC_3692

Pretty church? Totally vintage.

HH’s favourite:

Score! It’s vintage!

And my two favourites, pleasedon’tmakemechoose…

DSC_3654

Yummy colours!

DSC_3658

What’s not to love? So much vintage!

Hope you made it all the way through this marathon Travelling Tuesday {and enjoyed yourself}. If I could sip it, sniff it, and swirl it in my glass, I’d say Kalk Bay was a good year.

Happy Tuesday!
