Wrote this a few months ago:
I feel very stupid. I always said I'd check this place out, but in 5 years, I never did. The treasure trove that is the Eastern Cape Arts and Crafts Hub has been right under my nose and I never thought to walk in before last Wednesday - I'm leaving for college on Saturday. Big mistake. Another mistake was forgetting to charge the camera's batteries before going back again on Friday for blog pics. I ended up using my phone camera. Gosh, I'm such a genius.
