Meet the newest bookshop VIPs (Very Important Sparrows)! 🐦✨

There's been the sweetest soundtrack playing right outside the shop for the last while. A beautiful pair of Cape sparrows has built a nest just outside, and they are currently working around the clock raising their brand-new brood. In the shorter clip, you can hear the babies cheeping as they're being fed. It's been a great source of delight. They should be fledging soon and I think I'm more nervous about it than the parents.

You know it's a good day when the bookshop bell rings and you are surprised with the most BEAUTIFUL cross stitch cushion imaginable. Madele Burger handmade this! Thousands of teeny tiny stitches and incredible details. I am so chuffed, Madele, it's just perfect, thank you! And, of course, Birdie loves it too. The couch, the cushion, the cat - glorious harmony.

Birdie has had a wonderful weekend with lots of customers to enjoy.
She absolutely loves having people in the bookshop and takes her role as official feline greeter very seriously. Whether she's asking for a scratch, supervising your book browsing, or simply keeping everyone company, she's happiest when there are visitors to charm.
Thank you to everyone who popped in this weekend and helped make Birdie's weekend such a happy one!

Another Stoep Tasting done and dusted! Dustcovers is so fortunate to share the space with the incredible team from Journey's End W**es again this year — truly fabulous humans. And the most DELICIOUS w**es!
Last night’s dinner event was something special. Chef Clara brought the magic food, the lekker vibes, and made everyone feel right at home. Thea and Jeremy were a well-oiled w**e-selling machine from start to finish, and we’re so grateful to them for being such an amazing team.
And a very big thank you to the best friends a bookshop could ask for — Lisa Libbrecht and Gouni-Mae Montgomery. None of this would have been possible without you both.
Tomorrow we open again, not for crowds, but to clean the shop, straighten the shelves, and give the space some much-deserved love for being the special place it is.
Now the village settles into its quiet wintery days, and we get to bask for a little while in the memories made, the conversations shared, and the friendships this year has brought.

What a wonderful weekend at Stoeptasting Sibling! We had the pleasure of hosting Kanu W**es and Dornier W**es, Stellenbosch, and the atmosphere throughout the bookshop was absolutely buzzing. From lively conversations to shared stories over glasses of exceptional w**e, it was a weekend filled with warmth, flavour and great company.

Folklore W**e & Words was a particular highlight, bringing together w**e lovers and book lovers in the best possible way. The cheese pairing alongside the beautiful Kanu W**es was also a great hit and thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.

And now, onward to the next exciting weekend! We’re delighted to be welcoming Journey's End W**es, who will be preparing a special evening meal on Friday night, followed by a delicious brunch on Saturday morning.

Another weekend of wonderful w**es, good food, and memorable moments awaits — we can’t wait to share it with you all! Here are a host of photographs that show just how special the Sibling was this year.
