For those living out of the country, this past weekend was the Durban July at Greyville Race Course and I ran across these pictures of avant garde fashion at the race. […]
eLuckyfocus: Oh My Stinkin Heck!
PSSST! Check back here on Friday!
I’m giving away gorgeous
FREE stuff again!
Or perhaps I should say Oh My Sticky Heck!
One of my very favourite American bloggers, Heather at Oh My Stinkin Heck, has a list of great projects she’s doing with her kids this summer (yes, summer, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere).
Case in […]
An American Girl in Mozambique
A blogging friend is currently doing work for an NGO in Mozambique.
Kelli is an American girl with an African heart, and when she returns to Arizona later this summer (or winter, depending on where you live), she has promised to guest post on eLuckypacket and tell us all, not only about her work in […]
eLuckybits ‘n Pieces
Just pretend it’s Christmas here at eLuckypacket! These bits and pieces have been sitting on my to-post list. Just little snippets I thought you might like:
For Flickr fans, there is a new tool that allows you to search Flickr photos by colour (by COLOUR I say!). For example, I chose three colours to get the […]
Posted by elp admin on June 27th, 2008 under Arts & culture, Living in South Africa, Products & services, Technology & gadgets | 3 Comments »iBEZ 4 PREZ! Tannie Evita Now Holding Court on Zoopy!
You’d think after all these years that we’d be over Tannie Evita. Or that she’d be irrelevant in this era of South-African globalism and the passing of her old-time political rivals.
But she manages to reinvent herself — as with the launch of her new multi-media channel on Zoopy — South Africa’s very successful answer to […]
eLuckyfocus: Mother City Living
Planning a visit to Cape Town? Check out Mother City Living, a blog that celebrates the gentler, greener pleasures of the mother city.
Great places to watch the sun set, fun hangouts for an after-the-beach drink, where to find the best local veggies and crafts.
eLuckypacket reader Pia edits and maintains Mother City Living and is […]
Come As You Are
So I’m late to the par-tay but since some of my favorite bloggers (including Aimee and Heather) are doing it, here is a self-portrait taken just after reading Sweetney’s Come as You Are post.
Oh … and because my mother complains that there are never enough pictures of me because I’m always the one taking them.
So […]
Just Might Get Me Watching Rugby
Not a big rugby fan (sacrilegious, I know) but I do fancy Matt Damon.
Maybe enough to see the upcoming South-African rugby drama Human Factor, where he’s set to play Francois Pienaar in his bid to lead the national team to victory in ‘95.
Another good reason to put this on your must-see list? Morgan Freeman has […]
Taking Great Group Photos – Every Time!
My brothers and sisters in law will probably not love me for using them as blog fodder but, hey, what’s family for?!
If you have a digital camera, you’ve probably been asked to take a group photo. The office holiday party? The family reunion? Your daughter’s hip-hop dance troupe?
I typically snap off as many shots as […]
The Lovely Miss Lira
A couple months back, Eish blogged about Lira and I started listening to her on my headphones at work.
Part Sade, part Angelique Kidjo, part all her own silk and smooth, Lira is dark chocolate, red wine and soft velvet to my ears! If you haven’t heard her, visit her website at Miss Lira, which has […]

Remember that all South-African eLuckypacket readers purchasing from Side Attraction3 using the promotional code elucky will get a free Tickled Pink […]

Virtual Sisters
Nowhere is the concept of six degrees of separation more evident than on the Internet, and within the blogosphere especially.
I read the blogs of two truly inspirational women, Jen Lemen (of the dazzling and very soulful art) and Andrea Scher (of the stunning and very popular Superhero necklaces).
I shouldn’t have been surprised that they […]
Where You’ve Come From to Where You Now Are
This past weekend I was reminded of the challenges of leaving South Africa and moving to another country.
When I moved to Canada, it felt easy — I was young, in love and excited about everything a new country had to offer. But it was not without its challenges. Probably the biggest three being learning to […]
3191: A Year of Evenings
You know your best friend? The one who lives on the other side of the world?
What if you could see into her life. Every day. What if technology and a little effort could bring you closer?
Steph and Mav are friends who live 3191 miles apart. Each evening they take a photo and post them side […]
