Shopping is a woman thing. It’s a contact sport like football. Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase.

Over the years, I happen to have strong-armed many a family friend into perusing my table of crafts (these were vast & varied as the years marched by: friendship pins, quilling, stamped cards, scrapbooking and the sort) I can safely say I fancy myself as quite a crafter – past and present. I’m certainly not a craft prodigy by any stretch of the imagination. But I do enjoy a good craft session. Even more than that though, i appreciate crafts that are the product of other people’s vast imaginations and creativity. Have time, will craft. If not, make time, buy other’s crafts.
Cue the I Heart Market.
This treasure, not-so-hidden, held at the Moses Mabhida Stadium the first Saturday of every month is a feast for the senses. And a strain on the purse.
Each month, my home is adorned with a new-found beauty sourced at this fabulous market. Oh So Handsome can only sigh when I arrive home burdened with bags of goodies.
Durban is being spoilt this month, with not one, but three markets! Definitely a must visit if you’ve never been before.
