Has your home caught World Cup Fever (or, as they say it in South Africa... Fevah!)? Ours sure has... especially since the host country is my very own homeland, South Africa... the Rainbow Nation. It warms my heart to see the happy images from home. I can't tell you how happy I was that South Africa drew their first game... a win would have been better, of course, but a draw was better than most had expected. I hope like mad that we play 'out of our boots' to advance through the competition. Good luck Bafana Bafana!!
So, in honor of the Soccer World Cup, I have chosen a few treasures from my favorite Etsy shops to share with you...
Here is the Mighty South African Lion from Mama4Earth... isn't he gorgeous!
If you are a supporter of Spain... you'd want this lovely crown in your house from Kats in the Belfry.
And, for all of those Brazilian Babes... these earrings will go wonderfully with your soccer outfit... they are from Skipping Stones.
Of course, I couldn't leave out my new country... the US of A. How cute is this puzzle from Puzzled for your little soccer fan!
Good Luck, All! May your teams do well and may you have fun watching them. I'd love to know who you all support?Blessings and magic,
Donni

Haha - being from Scotland, who have not qualified (again1) we struggle to bring ourselves to support England. in fact, my neighbour had a huge stars and stripes flying from his window the other night! Actually I hope they and the US do well, but I think Brazil will win. xx
Watching Desmond Tutu give his 5c really made me think of how far SA has actually come....I felt very homesick sitting here in West Africa watching all the celebrations with Americans, English and Sierra Leoneans...
We had a great time watching the games this weekend. I cheered for both the US and England. Raised a few Boddingtons to celebrate as well. Next day we choose Australia to cheer for -- not a good choice.
We have been watching all the games, you cannot belive how festive it is here at the moment, it is just amazing!! Lovely blog post Donni, thank you so much for posting my Lion:) I just love all the other creative items you posted too:) Go Bafana Bafana! They will be playing again tomorrow night, we can't wait:)
Love

I support South Africa because they are the host- Also one of my favorite countries (which I've visited twice). My husband has his favorites and I usally watch with him and root for the opposing team- keeps us frisky.
Oh, my! I love that lion!
we have caught the "fevah" too! my husband grew up in kenya, and he developed a love for soccer there. he doesn't seem to have a favorite team, though he has been heavily rooting for south africa. it's a fun time.
I support my home country (Australia) although they aren't that great at 'soccer'. DH supports his home country - England. We live in Switzerland, so the girls support their home country - Switzerland.
We have a lot of flags hanging from our balcony!!
So, having lived in England for 23 years, I support England...even the other night against my former country, USA.
When Scotland is in there, I do support them, as DH was born in Scotland.
But I do take an interest in games with teams from countries friends are from, like Ghana on Sunday.
Sandy in the UK
I actually prefer cricket (England) though and sometimes watch rugby (England, Scotland or Wales) with DS when he is home.
We've caught the fever too! Being half Italian I cheer for Italy since Canada didn't make it.
Love that lion! So cute!
