Home is where the heart is. The place where you arrive, your dogs bark at you in greeting and you can finally relax after a hectic day. So why not pay some attention to it and make the place you live in that much more special? The 2017 Johannesburg HOMEMAKERS Expo celebrates its 24th year with the theme “A Tribute to Your Home” and we are giving away some tickets to go there.
2017 sees the launch of the Blue Label Wing, a brand new and stirring exhibition space. No more up and down the stairs to visit your favourite stands. Now the entire show is on one level.
I LOVE JOZI
Not just the inner heart of Jozi will be explored by her residents, but witness three South African graffiti artists make their artwork come to life. Follow them as they complete the project at the show.
BOOK NOOKS
If you like to get lost in a book or even browsing around a book store, then you will have a ball at Book Nooks, which is sponsored by Bargain Books.
There is a nook for each of six themes. Go ahead.
I’m wondering if they had some inspiration from Dr Seuss…
We took a look, we saw a nook, on his head, he had a hook, on his hook he had a book, on his book was ‘How To Cook’ but a Nook can’t read so a nook can’t cook SO what good to a nook is a hook cook book?”
Oh yes. They will have cookbooks as well.
Look out for great Book competitions and wins!
In South Africa we are spoiled with breath-taking landscapes and beautiful weather; love for the outdoors is second nature to us. Take it Outside, a budding new addition to the show, embraces this love for our gardens, patio’s, outdoor furniture and of course new and interesting things to enhance your outdoor living area.
