Beading Dancer's pop-up shop

During the month of May I had the opportunity to open my pop-up shop in different markets.

The French Market

The french style market happened earlier in the month at the French Alliance in Parkview opposite Zoo lake, Johannesburg.  The market happens when it happens. I was selling my latest products and met a lot of interesting people.  There was a lady selling cheese and a condiment made from port to accompany the cheese. A lot of french people make their way here cause it also happens to be a french school.








Living Room Eco-Faire

The eco-faire was the first of its kind at the Living Room in Maboneng District on Main street Johannesburg.  The eco-faire had workshops on guerilla gardening and raw food.  The chef in the picture made some gastronomical raw cheesecakes and cookies as well as raw lasagne made from raw baby marrow. I could marry this man based on his cooking skills, that's how good he is!
There will be another faire at the end of the month.
The Living Room is at the top of the building and has a green feel about it(besides the plants that hang and grow everywhere).







Ambush was also there with some words to think about, songs and plants for sale.  Ambush people are plant people and you can sometimes find them guerilla gardening on the side of the road or abandoned places.



The Design Exhibitions(with a side order of tea and bakes).

This time we will be hosting the exhibition indoors in town. The last three have been in  my garden and Norscot Manor in Fourways.  This one will be over two days.
We feature different designers who make different items.





RainQueen Creations

This lady is amazing.  Kebo's clothing label makes grounded, accentric clothing that inspire the goddess in you. She sources the best organic fabric for her items and incorporates her own style. She also has handmade crotchet bags, belts and clothing that her mother makes from scratch with her design instruction.


These are my items...Beading Dancer.  A mix of some modern and traditional materials...with a lot of stones.


Lilliana Transplanter

Linzi makes items from upcycled material like old tyres and shoe soles to make purses, flip-flops and gloves.  She also uses trees to make earrings and accessories.  Lilliana also crotchets water bottle holders.  Her other products include painting on reclaimed wood. This lady is the definition of green.


I.C Timeless

Themba makes anything out of leather...i do believe you can ask him to make leather spoons!  This man makes bags, belts, shoes, earrings and even decor.  He uses 100% leather in different colours. I wear his creations all the time!



All of these designers can be googled or facebooked...but if you come through to the exhibition you might be sure to find them or we can get you in touch with them.
Hope to see you at the next one to catch up over some tea!
