We love the delicate pastel sketches of Andrew Roberts of Roberts Artist.
Inspired by Beatrix Potter and Andrew's four year old daughter, Lilly, they would make a lovely addition to a child's nursery wall or even your very own wall.

Before I Die...
Last month at the i heart market we were lucky enough to be part of a larger initaitive - the Before I Die wall hosted by Marissa Whittle, Honours student at Vega, and Moses Mabhida Stadium.
Before I Die is an interactive public art project that invites people to share their hopes and dreams in public space.
The first KZN Before I Die wall was a great success. Visitors of the stadium jumped at the opportunity to interact with the wall. People from all over South Africa and as far afield as Finland and Pakistan grabbed chalk and shared their dreams with the world.
This is what some of them had to say.
Before I die I want to...
Help people help others
Live an extraordinary life
Make a difference even if just with a smile
Help the underprivileged in my community
Reach one million children with my conservation message
Save the world through cycling
Be bold enough to be whoever I want to be
Blow a million rand just like THAT!
See the end to Police brutality
Go on a food journey
See my wife cancer free
Know that I have parented children who care more about the world and others than things and themselves
There are over 375 walls in 60 countries around the world in 25 different languages.
Well done, to all involved to in the Durban wall.
What an inspiring way to bring a community together!

Easter is upon us
Easter Eggs
Around the time of Easter, the air is always filled with so much excitement and light hearted cheer.
A strong contributor, we feel, is the abundance of chocolate in various shapes and forms. Excitement just seems follow in its path. Its also a great time for social gatherings and fun activities. We just love these beautiful hand painted easter eggs and drawing from this inspiration, why not try this great Easter activity? Send them out as gifts or just nibble on them yourselves; either way, its wonderfully fun.
All you need is a bunch of white candy coated chocolate easter eggs (the famously delicious ones), small paint brushes and food colouring (in various colours). Pour the food colouring into shallow dishes. Dip your paint brushes in and start decorating those eggs!
Leave to dry once done. Then share, eat and enjoy.

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.

Artistic design, fair and fine
Creative Collaboration
Artist and I Heart Market trader Sue Sylvester owner of Inkanyezi recently collaborated with Mr Price Home to create beautifully designed linen products in her signature style.
This is a unique Mr Price Home collaboration. Local South African designers and artists are celebrated and featured for their talent and creative contributions through limited product ranges amongst other things.
We are so happy to hear of her success and thought you may like to see the video she is featured in. The short video, created by Rooinooi, shows Sue's studio, her stunning designs and chats briefly to the creative artist herself, giving an insight into the mind and passion behind each piece of work.
Sue is a valued trader at I Heart Market and brings a fresh approach to design, art and the creative process with both her methods of creating and the manner in which she expresses them. All these elements amalgamate into gorgeous aesthetics for the home.
Here are a few snippets from the video but you can watch it here and see more of Sue's designs on her website.
