market fun

 

Here's a couple of photos of my stand and goodies at the last few markets. I'll be introducing some new designs over the next few I Heart Markets, but this month I've been concentrating on other projects so there will only be a few newbies to show.
Hope to see you there tomorrow.

I Want That Wedding did a lovely post on Token Ceramics, it's one of my favourite local blogs. Visit it here to check out the post, it's made my week!

Don't forget the I Heart Market round #2 at Chelsea Prep School this weekend, Token will be there, of course, with some new 'vintage' inspired stuff.

I've been having so much fun with these new designs, I ordered the most gorgeous stamps online. They work perfectly with clay, I love the way they give a new dimension to my favourite textures. And the glazes came out well too, I'm super pleased!

I do love birds! Here's what my new bird stamps created

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).

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!

And a happy New Year to everyone! I'm still in holiday mode...

This lovely couple, Simone and Gary, chose red ceramic heart brooches for their wedding party. Thank you so much for including Token in your special day, fabulous choice!

Marvelous Marquee

Well, last Saturday was the first of THREE December I heart Markets and yes, it was held in a marquee tent to accommodate the expanding family of Marketeers. I think this was the biggest market yet! There was a wonderful festive vibe, despite the Durban heat. 

Here's some pics of the market on the 4th December and my neighbours :)
