Durban: What’s hot this winter? June’s I heart Market offers market-goers a range of heart-warming bespoke and artisanal fare just in time for Durban’s legendary “slightly-cooler-than-summer” mid-winter!
Taking place this Saturday, 4 June from 08:30 to 2pm, on the Moses Mabhida Stadium Lawns the I heart Market, is not just a “pop-in and out” affair, it’s not only designed to make you want to take a leisurely stroll around the various stalls, make contact with the artists, crafters, and artisans who have created their wares with love and care, but to also relax in the sun and try out the delicious culinary fare on offer.
Wicked Waffles - simply delish!
Some highlights to warm the cockles of your heart include Wicked Waffles - authentic Belgian waffles that are cooked on-site on a gas-fired waffle machine. They are golden delicious outside and soft inside and topped with fresh cream or ice cream. This is a tasty toasty option to warm up your taste buds, before trying out other scrumptious eats.
Savage Jewellery - exquisite rings
Looking for gifts? Savage Jewellery is an iconic long-time ‘I heart” linked brand which offers tactile organic sterling silver rings that have been sand cast with beach sand. Using a unique technique to create this effect, these rings feel like ancient relics that have been discovered at the bottom of the ocean.
Knotagain Macrame - the Tree of Life
Then Macrame, which incidentally was a “thing” in the Victorian era, made hugely popular in the 1960’s and 70’s, has started its fourth come-back into fashion. And it’s a fascinating craft. Visit Knotagain Macrame to see their amazing Tree of Life wall hanging, which will be the talking-point at this month’s market. The craftsmanship gone into this phenomenal piece will leave you breathless. But if that’s too big for your home - not to worry there are plenty of simply gorgeous smaller pieces for sale too.
Abby River has a beautiful and simple winter collection of children’s clothes
While we are reminiscing - Abby River has a beautiful and simple winter collection, of “old-fashioned-inspired” cotton children’s clothes in natural palettes – a reminder of days gone by when life was, well simpler!
Of course, there is so much more from décor and furnishings, clothes, and accessories, to loads of delectable food to take home- preserves, condiments, pastries, bread, biltong. And bonus – you can catch up with friends and make new ones in the sociable dining area, where you can try out a big variety of healthy and interesting cuisine, made as always, with love.
The market on the lawns of the Moses Mabhida Stadium is open from 8:30am to 2pm. The entrance is free and dogs on leashes are welcome.
