Market Day 8/3

I thought I should write as many of you took my business card today & will be logging on to see what Ikhaya is about. The market today was fantastic & the response to all the new stock has been amazing.

The best seller of the day is the recycled record bag from South Africa; they created quite a stir & managed to catch everyone’s eye as they passed by! They are such beautiful bags & show the creativity & quirkiness of the African crafters.

I love to meet all of you & hear your stories & experiences of Africa. Many of you have visited Africa & some of you are actually from there. Whatever the connection, we all seem to agree that it’s one of those places you never forget! It's nice to have a little piece of Africa in our homes too! After all Ikhaya means ‘home’ in Zulu!

Unfortunately I am away over Easter weekend & will not be at the markets. I will be back on 13/4 with some new & exciting products!

I have received quite a few requests for different items especially jewellery & cushion covers. I do make a note of your request but it’s a little hard when I don’t have your details. Please email your request after the market or even better, write your request in my notebook on the day & I will follow it up for you. That way I can make sure you are not disappointed when you come looking for that special purchase. There is no pressure to buy though - that's totally up to you!



Also I can let you know when we get new items in & make sure you get to see them first before market day!

I look forward to hearing from you soon.....
