Window decor...
The sign above the blackjack table, before it got dark...
The blackjack table outside (in our newly tiled braai area) with the fairy lights up, before everyone arrived...
The lounge, with our brand new natural stone finish around the fire place, TSC's clever hanging cards on the light fitting and a pair of my handmade dice (used polystyrene cubes) and some giant cards strung on the mantlepiece...
Some more of my dice, this time in purple for the roulette table (we also had some on the veranda, hanging from the lights). Had to laugh... our roulette wheel is about the size of a side plate - so cute!
It was such a fun evening. Everyone looked gorgeous in their formal wear and we had prizes for the person who won the most money (we printed play money with pictures of us on it) and whomever lost their money the fastest. We also played some Bingo and had to frantically change numbers on the cards that I'd photocopied because (genius that I am), I made copies of the same four sets of cards! It was a good laugh, although some of our poker players took the evening a bit seriously ;-)
And here are some pics from our Gautrain outing, which was my early bday surprise for TSC...
The train, at the airport...
Our sushi at the airport (not the best sushi - the chef was about 20 years old and quite sloppy, but at least the fish was fresh)...
TSC having a beer at Punchinello's at Montecasino. I took him for a drink at the new hotel at The Pivot after our bus dropped us off at Montecasino. It was lovely to sit in the sun and enjoy watching the swans swimming around the pond, with water cascading over the mosaic in the fountain. Lovely!

Stunning pics Tam, looks like you guys had a ball.
I absolutely LOVE your fireplace - have been thinking about doing the same to mine. It looks stunning.
I'm guessing TSC is not wild about having his photo taken for the blog!
Awe, looks like an awesome time. Even more sorry I missed the party now!!
Ha, cool theme :D
Sushi looks good.
You guys are so creative. I couldnt even organise my kids' birthday parties without getting a cramp.:)
The sushi, oh lord, the sushi! It looks delcious. Did I mention I have a sushi addition?
The decor looks nice too.
Ag I am so sorry we couldn't make it... It looks awesome, you guys always go to so much trouble!
Awww! I wish I could have made the party. It looks like you outdid yourself again. I can't wait to see the renovations in person :)
That party looks awesome. The fairy lights are so cute and magical.
The Gautrain looks beautiful!
