A tribute to our Olympic Champions :)

Some dream badges we did up especially for our Olympians :)

Tobe is not to be...

All part of learning and growing. Tobe manifested from a little image in newsletter I received from an NGO working in Africa... the image was of a little orphan holding a handwritten sign saying "future doctor"... as children and parents, we often wonder what we or our loved one will grow up to be one day :) Tobe was a concept born from this image and my own hopes and dreams as a new parent.

It has been a year of slogging and getting going on this little love project. After a couple of months of research I have discovered the Tobe name has been trademarked and thus we have to change our name as we do not have R100 000.00 to buy it.

A little quote I remember from the book "A road less travelled"... life is difficult and once we accept that, it no longer becomes difficult.

Some dreams just take a little longer to achieve... watch this space :)

a happy gentleman popped by...

the tobe team meets Mr Ronald :)

 

red hair, stripey arms and leg, a big smile and not so small feet, but definitely big dreams :)

"Our little spot" at the SABS Education Baba Indaba

Late into the night prepping and an early start to a long day.

Our stand finally came together. 

Thank You Nabs for all your hard work you are the best! With a little support from a roaming lion-in-training :)

best of both... with and without trim :)

nuna's ribbons

With the announcement and birth of nuna, we were lavished with gifts parceled with pretty ribbons. I knew one day I would find use for them... Tobe giftcards with recycled ribbon :)

to trim or not to trim...

Detail to the last trim. Deciding on the tobe biscuits for the Baba Indaba... to add trim or to not add trim...?
.... amongst the zillion other things still to be done before opening tomorrow :)

Thank You to the CCDI (Cape Craft and Design Institute) for the amazing business course. We practised "pricing my product" till 3am this morning... happy to say Tobe Dreams now has retail, corporate and wholesale prices available... worked out to the t and not thumb sucked :) the tobe entrepreneur-in-training has attempted accounting :)

Well done to Our Olympic Swimmer and Gold Medalist Chad Le Clos
