Magical Montagu Moments

Kerryn Leigh is an abstract line artist based right here in Montagu.
She uses pen on paper to draw lines that are carefully intertwined to create depth and form, thus affecting the way it is experienced by the viewer.
Each piece comes alive in a unique way, for every individual who looks from their own perspective.

Pop in at her delightful gallery in Kohler Street to meet her and see her work. And for as little as R250 and a bit of time, you can acquire a small piece of her creations.

National Womens Day = long weekend.
See post below for trading hours for Strawberry Fair where you will find more treasures than you expect.

"Wathint' Abafazi, Wathint' Imbokodo!" (You Strike a Woman, You Strike a Rock) 🇿🇦

​Different eras, different styles, but the exact same spirit: unbreakable.

​This long weekend, we are honoring the 20,000 brave women of 1956 while blasting our favorite freedom anthem and celebrating the absolute joy, power, and resilience of being a woman!

​To bring that fire into our store, meet the ultimate trio gracing our shop floor:

​Marilyn:"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."

Audrey:"I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong."

Scarlett:"It's better to be frightened than to be crushed by fear... After all, tomorrow is another day!"

​To all the incredible rocks out there making the world beautiful, strong, and unstoppable—this weekend is for you.

Pop in-store to say hi to our girls!
