New Trader: strike.lamps
A big welcome to our new trader strike.lamps!
Strike.lamps are Trent Moffett, a first year student at AFDA and Jessica-Lee VanGo, a first year photography student at DUT. They both make these exciting new lamps.
The colour ways are endless and he can make up any colour combination that you wish for.
"Being Proudly South African I source the material from a local plastics concern, and ensured these vinyls were RECYCABLE (they are ECO FRIENDLY POLYMERIC free from harmful plasiticizers and chlorine making the film safe on childrens toys or food labeling). I buy it in sheets and they cut to my specs. Other locals companies sell the stud T clips and nuts and bolts which are also plastic, used to create the 'waves' on these lamps. I work from my parents home in Ballito on a table tennis table.... in a store room or on my mum's work desk." - Trent Moffett

New Trader: Oak and Willow
New traders, Oak and Willow will be joining us at the next i heart market on 3rd August at Moses Mabhida.
Oak and Willow make beautiful headboards and art pieces out of reclaimed wooden pallets with inspirational phrases and great colour scheme.
This is the story of how the business started.
"It all started when I got married. I wanted decor and my dad said he'll make it . At the wedding, everyone loved the decor so we decided then that wooden decor could be a feasible business and that we'd start a small business producing hand-crafted wooden decor. All our wood is recycled and we love transforming "scrap wood and nails" into something pretty."
"This is just the start and we already have had numerous orders. My dad makes the wooden boards together with a local from the valley of 1000 Hills. I'd love to see it grow and have the opportunity to employ local underprivileged people and empower them when Oak and Willow grows bigger. I have a huge heart for community and empowering the hopeless through developing their gifts and talents. Through empowerment I really think we could help alleviate poverty and I'm just one in a million doing my part to serve the community and help make a difference in the lives of others particularly the underprivileged." - Janice MacMillan

Marvelous March Market
A bright and sunny day
Last weekend the clouds parted, the sun shined and the eager
wait was over as we welcomed another exciting I Heart Market. It was a hive of
activity with trendy folk, foodies and family outings - what better way to
spend a Saturday than surrounded by trinkets, music and tasty delights!
Once again it was a grand success. Traders showcased their
creativity with an old school record playlist in the background. It was a day of laughs, good food
and style created by the traders and those who visited. We
can’t wait for the next one!

Rollin Vintage
Ryan and Liesa of Rollin Vintage recently joined us at the market with their ingenius recreations of antique cutlery. Bracelets out of bent forks are not a new idea but Rollin Vintage has taken this craft to a new level of artistic delight.
This is their story in Liesa's words: "Ryan spend a few months in the UK, at one of the markets he saw spoons that were bent all the way around into a ring. He loved the idea and told me about it when he came back. I was disappointed because after he finished telling me about it as i thought he’d whip out one of the rings for me....but he didn’t. He then promised to make me one and the first one he made turned out pretty well and he persisted."
All their jewellery is one of a kind. Even their ring sizes use recycled, out of the ordinary methods to create them. Instead of using the usual jewellery manufacturing ring sizes, they use a range of different sized gear rods from cars to size their rings.
Their persistence has paid off and Rollin Vintage has grown from strength to strength since then. They have recently opened up a shop in Howick and added many new up-cycled vintage treasures to their list of products.
We particularly love their 'Tablescapes' - a mini succulent garden housed inside an old book and their Tin Pendants made from gorgeous old tins with bold retro designs.
Be sure to come and peruse their stall at the next I heart market!
