Issue # 3 - Thursday 20 September 2012 SPRING GREETINGS! 
Isn't it nice to know that the worst of winter appears to be over and warmer weather is just around the corner? Before we set out on an exciting factory shopping trip, looking for new summer clothes, there are a few important chores to perform. The first one being to spring clean our cupboards! This is the time to toss out all the garments we haven't worn for years, plus all those we know in our heart of hearts we're not likely to wear again. Charity shops will welcome your donations of clothing items, so be ruthless with your clearing out! |

The 12th Edition CHANGES TO REVIEWS Green Cross Shoes in Epping 1 (page 80) - always a great shop to visit when looking for shoes, as the footwear they manufacture (in addition to being stylish and well made), is also very comfortable. Please note that they have extended their trading hours on Saturdays, which are now from 8.30 to12.30. Kolnicks Linen in Diep River (page 65) - one of the original factory shops in Cape Town and one that offers a huge selection of linen and towels – has a new telephone number, which is 021 201 5504. |
