Spice and Twine

Embarking on a new chapter after 28 and a half years as a senior purser at SAA, I found myself amidst a wave of retrenchments in August 2020, alongside over 3000 others. Faced with the need to reinvent myself, I birthed "Spice and Twine," a small business that combines laser-cut craftsmanship, a curated spice selection, and two cozy Airbnb units behind our home. Catch us at various markets within the greater Blouberg/Melkbos area, with upcoming appearances on November 25th at the Catholic Church in Jansens Rd, December 2nd-3rd at Sunningdale Sports Complex, and December 9th-10th at Melkbos Country Club.
