We had an awesome time at the recent “I Heart Market”. I (Angela) managed to convince my husband James and my two little boys to come along for the ride. My wonderful sister, Hannah, was there as usual too! My husband’s double cab was the perfect carrier for all of us and the mountain of vintage goodies we brought along!
Because setting up all those vintage goods takes so long, we left home just after 6am to arrive in Durbs just after 7am. Market organiser, Anna, placed us in the newly formed “vintage area” of the market — under a beautiful rubber tree.
This month’s market turned out to be a really interesting and “international” affair. The world “Transplant Games” were being hosted at the athletics track across the road. This resulted in us meeting a host of wonderful customers from Thailand, Singapore, Iran, France, Australia, New Zealand and England. Its wonderful to think some of our “treasures” will be making their way all over the world!
My children thoroughly enjoyed exploring the beautiful stadium and surrounds. Next time I wont need to do any convincing to get them to join me!
James took these photos included in the article. I was so busy selling on the day I didn’t even have time for lunch (let alone a chance to look at the other beautiful stalls)… hopefully I will get a chance next time because this is a fantastic market filled with some incredibly talented and creative traders.
If you haven’t ever attended the “I Heart Market” be sure to make a note on your calendar for Saturday — 7th September. Bring the whole family and come and celebrate the best our province has to offer!
