~Whimsical Flatware by South African Artist CaRRoL BoYeS~
~Magazine rack~The best neighbors in the world recently built a new home and moved from our neighborhood.
They moved from South Africa to Texas to Maine.
On one of their trips back to South Africa to visit family I took care of the family cat and dog.
Upon their return they presented me with two pieces of work by South African artistCaRRoL BoYeS.
~Lemon Squeezer~To say that I have become smitten with this woman's work is a vast understatement.

~Lean on Me~~Quirky Designs~
This family has pieces of the collection throughout their home. Some in the most unexpected places.
It is such fun.
~Functional Art~CaRRol has become a South African icon, earning last year's national award for the Top Woman Owned Company of the Year
Is it any wonder?
Her company employs a staff made up mostly of women.
But pour a cup of coffee or brew some tea, because it is full of whimsy and fun.

They are beautiful pieces!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you that on my husband's side - there were several that fled from Europe during the War to South Africa and one was an artist who many South Africans know of his work. A South African cousin lives nearby and just went over the holidays. I will have to get her something special by this artist. I know she would love a special piece.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the introduction to another artist with style and whimsy.

Now these are excellent conversation pieces! I love when an Artist can put some fun, (and in this case) practical spin on art.
