View from above the courtyard at Spiga’s<\/p><\/div>\n

Saturday\u00a0the 31st August saw \u00a0Hannah and me making our way down to Durban for the awesome “Yesterday’s Suitcase” market at Spiga d’Orro in Florida road. Organised by the “I Heart Market<\/a>” team, this lovely event was held in the charming Spiga’s courtyard.<\/p>\n

The stunning old building in which Spiga d’Oros is situated<\/p><\/div>\n

It was a celebration of all things “vintage”. There was an amazing array of clothing, porcelain, jewellery and up-cycled furniture. It was difficult to discipline myself not to spend all the money I made at the market on the lovely goodies on offer!<\/p>\n

I just love the Mediterranean feel of this courtyard!<\/p><\/div>\n

Despite warnings of dire weather conditions, it was a deliciously sunny day, made all the warmer by the friendly company, chilled retro music and soothing sounds of the courtyard fountain. Although it was a working day for me, it felt more like a Mediterranean holiday.<\/p>\n

Today we brought along lots of our up-cycled china pendants, vintage jewellery and other odds and ends. As always, we loved meeting old and new customers and were glad that there are some people out there who like what we are doing! \u00a0It was great to meet Stacey, owner of “For the Birds”<\/a>\u00a0 who bought some of our pendants for her beautiful gift shop in Umhlali. (Be sure to have a look at her facebook page<\/a>) .<\/p>\n

My clever husband, James customised this suitcase for the “suitcase showcase”. It works beautifully for our up-cycled pendants!<\/p><\/div>\n

I was also amazed at the creativity of Terry Angelos<\/a> and her range of up-cycled plates and art-work. Its always great to see Ryan and Liesa from Rollin Vintage<\/a> too — their creativity and passion for what they do is inspiring. Their range of vintage cutlery jewellery is a must-see!<\/p>\n

My little sis, Hannah… best market buddy ever!<\/p><\/div>\n

Hannah and I did do a little shopping too – hey, I did say that we were in a holiday mood \ud83d\ude42 … I was thrilled to find a beautiful butterfly print skirt, a floral skirt and a pretty summer top. I could have bought more but I did need to keep some money for the toll on the way home!<\/p>\n

\"spiga12\"<\/a>

Rows and rows of stunning vintage clothes!<\/p><\/div>\n

Did I mention that I LOVE this courtyard?<\/p><\/div>\n
