Hardys Memories of Africa African Art and Curios

Hardy Grun arrived on South African shores 30 years ago from Germany ready for a new adventure. Fancying himself a bit of a wheeler dealer he landed at the then Sea Point Flea market peddling reasonably priced African Art and Curious. Over time Hardy evolved into a highly respected and knowledgeable dealer and collector of high quality authentic African Art and Gifts. After relocating to Barrydale eight years ago Hardy still maintained close contact with suppliers and friends from yesteryear, guaranteeing a steady supply of quality goods from all sub Saharan countries, still reasonably priced. Hardy and his wife Jenny, who hails from Shanghai, welcome you to visit and are able to converse fluently in German, English, Afrikaans, Chinese, French, Spanish and a bit of Portuguese and Italian. Hardys Memories of Africa is recommended by Tour Guides as the No 1 stop for African Art and Gifts in the Western Cape. Shipping of larger items and orders by surface mail to most countries are facilitated.

Inkaroo Jewellery

In 2002, Heather started to create her individualised jewellery designs using beads and materials from nature. The thorns of the Sweet thorn acacia tree polished, drilled and spun about with simple beads formed a strong pattern for her future work. Porcupine quills, shells, driftwood and feathers also became her signatures. Although largely self taught, Heather revisited courses in silver working and casting and began to incorporate silver, copper and pewter into her designs. She increasingly added semi precious stones, coral, crystal, lava and freshwater pearls - combining and transforming her materials into a beautiful and unique collection of jewellery. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets and brooches form her main collection with the occasional insect or small ornament also emerging from her creative heart. Heather has her design studio in Barrydale on the Route 62 where you can watch her work and see the stunningly displayed items that are on offer. Her studio resonates with calm and spirituality and her range displayed, once again, on natural materials including bones, driftwood and giant bamboo. Buddhas, butterflies and lizards all provide an unexpected but perfect backdrop to her designs. But she still thinks that the best accessory to wear is a smile.
