Reminiscing

An afternoon to remember

On the weekend, we stopped in at Spiga d'oro to check out the live music, sip on some BOS Ice Tea, relax and soak up the courtyard sun on the terrace. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon. It got us chatting and reminiscing about I Heart Market's Suitcase Showcase event that took place here a short while ago, such a great success.

The people, the sunny day and the inspiring display of creativity. We have such fond memories of that day so we thought we would share some special moments of that market with all of you. Enjoy.

Shop, Sip and Savour

It's been a long and leisurely weekend for us here at I heart market. But, we are super excited about our Suitcase Showcase at Spiga on Monday, Family Day public holiday. 

Nestled in the village square-like courtyard at the back of Spiga we will be having a gathering of great craft and fashion, delicious Spiga take away treats, great tunes, a cupcake decorating area for kids (young and old) and general all round good family fun.
We are also having a photo competition called Capture the Heart.
Capture a photo of a heart wherever you find it.... in a shadow, cup of cappuccino, fabric.... wherever!

Suitcase Showcase, not to be missed!

I Heart Market Suitcase Showcase

April, is certainly a month of market magic. I Heart market will be having not just one amazing market, but two, on the 1st and 6th of April. 

We have so many plans up our sleeves and we can't wait to share them.
First on our list the market on the 1st of April. We have got together with Spiga, the famed Durban Restaurant on Florida Road to bring you a wonderful day out for family and friends.

This is a unique market event, I Heart Market on a smaller yet equally special scale. So escape into a world of charm to the beautiful Spiga courtyard space for a fun day out at I Heart Market's Suitcase Showcase.

Inspired by informal, old school junk sales, the exhibiting traders will showcase their products using a smaller display area. This certainly makes for some innovative ideas as traders have to use their imaginations to create displays that define the principles of this space. This market not only has its usual impressive crafts, fashionable items and artistic expressions but other activities too. There is a 'Lil Spiga Masterchef' area for kids to make their own fun pizzas and a do-it-yourself craft area. So bring your friends and family and pop in for a day of fun and delicious Spiga treats.

Have a look at some of the wonderful displays we found, just a few ideas to excite and inspire.

Pop it like it's hot.

Merchandising your stall and making it look cool and interesting can be really simple and cost effective. 

We love the way these pop up shops have used simple, cheap, everyday items to give their shops an edge. All the items that they have used are recycled everyday products that can be re-used afterwards for a different purpose.
