Even the 2 outbursts of rain did not damper the festive mood. Outside the drums of fire were kept burning and inside was packed with people. The atmosphere was just so "vibey" with all the creative people around from mouldmakers, canvass makers, a few famous painters, musicians, other potters and interior decorators. Over 50 full meals were served by The Pepper Tree and the bar was kept open until the wee hours.<br />Thank you to all the Philadelphians and visitors for your great support.<br />Ferdinand.Philadelphiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16509115405474658181noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438053708341569717.post-5054993151880747672008-07-30T03:28:00.000-07:002008-12-11T13:23:58.047-08:00Peppertree Art Gallery and Coffee Shop<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhFHUCaZlEFmZrpBepXPqb6BRsi48eEsA2yrmj-1PivqWUNclNeihiYv4Gs01opkf5JZcELZ21GPaRzo7LDxoKHejvNyN9dI1qLO3O10UfKnByYzbnhXrxNeavx48epgFT1H-cwxMAoH8/s1600-h/cow+72.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhFHUCaZlEFmZrpBepXPqb6BRsi48eEsA2yrmj-1PivqWUNclNeihiYv4Gs01opkf5JZcELZ21GPaRzo7LDxoKHejvNyN9dI1qLO3O10UfKnByYzbnhXrxNeavx48epgFT1H-cwxMAoH8/s200/cow+72.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228758425680619234" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Come and discover the unique art, crafted by local talent, here at the <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >Peppertree Art Gallery and Coffee Shop</span> in the heart of Philadelphia, where you will find something for everyone.</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;">Whether it is enjoying fine home cooked cuisine under a huge Pepper Tree at the very popular Peppertree Coffee shop or visiting to view exquisite handcrafted gemstone jewellery, handcrafted leather goods and exquisite paintings at the Pepper Tree Art Stable. </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;">If you are into culture, relaxation, arts and crafts then a visit to Philadelphia is a must.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:times new roman;">At the <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" >Peppertree Art Stable</span> we also offer you a range of handcrafted goods:</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;">exquisite handcrafted gemstone jewellery, paintings and art books, pottery sculptures, wares, ornaments and raku, organically grow herbs, greeting cards, leaded stain glass and hot glass, hand painted pottery, hand woven scarves, wraps, hand knitted caps and socks, herbel hand prepared essences, tinctures, fine handcrafted leather shoes, bags, belts and hats, mosaic mirrors and wall charts of chakra and reflexology.</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;"><br />For more information contact:</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Phone and Fax (021) 972 1916</span></span> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><br />Mobile:084 707 3177</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;" ><br />Email:peppertree1@gmail.com</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-family:times new roman;">Peppertree Coffee Shop</span></span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;"><br />In this homely, country-style setting, come and enjoy delicious, home-baked cakes and light lunches served with the finest roasted coffee, teas, and home-made juices under the shade of the big Pepper Tree. </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;">In winter we light a fire in our little Dover stove and strive to entice you with the smell of our own home baked bread and soup.</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;">Come and enjoy some of our locally produced preserves, and honey from our local bee keeper.

Then the travel bug hit again, then he hitch-hiked through eastern Europe and the USA for a year.</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;">When he came back, he got caught up in the corporate world until a few years ago.

Surrounded by wine lands, wheat and canola fields it is not unusual to see a multitude of bird and animal life. During early mornings walks the sun can be seen to rise over the mountains at Stellenbosch and Paarl. Hikers are sure to interest the cows which follows alongside the fence as you walk. Small falcons are seen daily and buck, wild hares and mongoose are often seen in the early morning hours.<br /><br />Meals and amazing deserts will be supplied by the local deli. The food is a mixture of traditional South African cuisine with a modern look and taste of fusion, or as the chef puts it, ‘plaaskos met ‘n byt’ (food with a bite). </span></i><br /></span></div>Philadelphiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16509115405474658181noreply@blogger.com12
