new goodies

I've had an extremely busy month preparing work for an upcoming group show and making up orders. Token is very proud to be stocked in two new stores: one in Pietermaritzburg and one in Knysna, but more on that in a later post...

I heart market - 1 October 2011 - Moses Mabhida Stadium

 Saturday is our second market at the magnificent Moses Mabhida Stadium. We're moving to the lower level opposite Ninos, under the trees and sheltered from the worst of the wind. So look for us there. Underground parking is still free before 12.

Here's a hint of some new goodies:

 some of this month's new bounty

flying bird brooch - grey/green glaze

little forest creatures - stamped brooches - new mottled black and off-white glaze colours

scalloped edges - vintage inspired and stamped brooches

some new glaze colours that I'm enjoying - especially the lemon yellow and indigo purple

Spring Fever

 

 

What does springtime mean to you? To me it's a time for rejuvenation, growth, lovely weather and, hopefully, more energy. This winter has definitely taken it's toll on my health and thus on my mood, so I'm going to make some positive changes and bring some colour into my life and wardrobe. I love wearing these cheerful flower brooches on a cardi.

With Spring in mind, Token's flower brooches will be on sale at a discounted price at both the I heart Markets this September (3rd September and 17th September).

small flower brooches - various shapes - glazed ceramic

small swirl flower brooches - glazed ceramic

And don't forget, there are two I heart Markets this month, Saturday (3rd Sept) at the usual spot (DLI hall, Greyville) and an extra special I heart Market at the Chelsea Preparatory Arts Festival in Durban North (check the flyer above for details on the address) on the 17th September and, of course, Token will be there. It's going to be awesome!

These sweet owls are new to the token family. Such little characters :)

blue bird brooches

I'm so very excited that Token is now available at the fabulous Fat Tuesday store in Kloof. I seriously could spend hours browsing there. It's a great place for gifts, and there's a wonderful selection of jewellery and ceramics by local designers. Pop in sometime :)

It's back to the DLI hall this Saturday, 7 August, for the I Heart Market.
Remember the first Saturday of every month, between 8.30 and 1pm, we're at the DLI Hall, 5 DLI Avenue, Greyville, Durban. So if you are looking for something special, handmade and unique, come visit the I Heart Market this Saturday :)

2010 House & Garden Show

So if you're wondering what to do this weekend now that the
you-know-what is over why don't you pop round to the House and Garden show. It starts this Friday and runs until the 1 August, held at the Durban Exhibition Centre. Also don't miss out on the Homegrown Fair part of the show which features smaller local businesses like Mooi, Genevieve Motley jewellery, Ikhaya, and so much more. You can find Token at the Mooi stall at the Homegrown Fair. Can't wait :) Hope to see you there!

bird-brained

Token has gone to the birds!
These are new brooches of bird silhouettes. They are a reworked version of the birds which I've done previously and are a more compact design. Some have a heart cutout. Each bird is unique in it's texture and glaze, made from porcelain fired to 1190 degrees. I'm quite excited about them :) What do you think?
