Angis Crafts by Angelique - 4 Crafts, 1 Maker 🇿🇦 My Story: I couldn’t stick to just one craft, so I learned them all and still expanding 😅 What started with crocheting amigurumi's for fun turned into woodworking/laser engraving in the garage, Cricut/vinyl designs for friends, and 3D printing in my little workshop. Angis Crafts is my happy place where all my passions come together. What I Make: ▪️Crochet: Amigurumi Plushies/Toys, and custom gifts made stitch by stitch. ▪️Woodwork/Laser Engraving: Cutting boards with laser logo or image, home decor, and small pieces made from MDF or solid wood like Kiaat. ▪️Vinyl: Wall decals, labels with your name on it, sticker sheets etc. ▪️3D Printing: Fun things like dancing aquarium ornaments, articulated toys, and custom prints in premium Creality PLA. My Process: Every order is designed🔹handmade🔹finished🔹quality checked by me. I use quality materials and take my time because you deserve something made with care, not mass-produced. What Makes Angis Crafts Special: You’re supporting 1 local maker from Pretoria with 4 obsessions and counting. I do small batches, I love custom orders, and I actually answer your messages. If you can dream it, I can probably make it - in yarn, wood, vinyl, or plastic 😉 DM me your idea! Thank you for supporting Angis Crafts 💛

Purveyors of fine whimsical goods, the curators at The Meraki Market Stall search far and wide through realms of imagination, to bring you trinkets, goodies & adornments that will sooth your soul & bring magic into your every day life. We love a fantastical world. Are you curious enough to come closer? *~*~*~* We delve deep into the world of pre-loved books, choosing & wrapping them with care. We hoard precious paper treasures to bring you our Blind Book Dates. We create magical dice towers from the mundane to bring works of art to the dungeon master's table. We ensorcel & make such captivating capes, that even when an enchantment goes awry, you will still be fly AF at the Faire. *~*~*~* Our current curator of these fine, whimsical goods is Kelly, a goblin who too easily passes for human, skilled in far too much, and with the hubris of one of the high fae. Constantly roaming the creative lands - both real & imagined, she's always on the hunt for more wonders to add to our beloved stall. You can find us here online, or at a magical market near you. 🍄🧚🏾♂️✨🪻🍄🟫🐚🍀🐇

Unique once off pieces made with love and care. Often adding a little twist from unexpected hidden treasures.

I first discovered ceramics in school, hitting pause at Standard 8, only to find my way back to the clay two years ago. This shop is the result of that beautiful, ongoing journey. I don't create on demand or take commission pieces because I prefer to let the clay speak its own language. Every item here evolves naturally, resulting in one-of-a-kind pieces that can never be perfectly duplicated. It’s hands-on therapy—and definitely cheaper than a psychologist!

Handmade crochet with an alternative, slightly chaotic edge. I'm Nyx, a disabled creator working in bursts between rest and work. Some pieces may become staples, some are one-offs, some are glorious experiments that could go either way, some are older designs that might cycle back if they behave, and some are gone forever. At the end of the day, I just want to make things that make you smile, whether that's a weird little friend, something that adds a splash of colour in your day, or something that was made just for you. Custom orders are open – come with an idea, leave with something a little unhinged. Send your ideas through on our ig at @misthaze.creations

Handcrafted freshwater pearl jewellery inspired by timeless style and everyday elegance. Thoughtfully designed, beautifully made, and created to be worn, loved and treasured.
There’s something deeply personal about the way Lesmè was created. Not from a factory. Not from trends. Not from wanting to simply “sell jewelry.” But from emotion. From quiet moments. From artistry that wanted to be felt, not just worn. Every Lesmè piece begins slowly — with hands carefully selecting glass beads, stainless steel chains, freshwater pearls, colors, and tiny details most people would overlook. Nothing is rushed, every piece is carefully created. Lesmè exists for the people who see beauty in details. For the ones who romanticize life a little. For the girls who want their jewelry to feel like poetry. What makes Lesmè special is that no piece feels empty. Each design carries a mood, a story, a softness, a little bit of boldness, and a lot of heart. Some pieces feel delicate and feminine, others dramatic and unforgettable, but all of them are designed to make someone feel beautiful in a way that feels personal to them. The brand blends elegance with emotion. Luxury with artistry. Softness with individuality. Beyond the jewelry itself, Lesmè is special because it is human. Behind every piece is someone creating late at night, sketching ideas, searching for the perfect materials, redoing designs until they feel just right, pouring emotion into every piece and every custom order. There is care in every package, excitement in every post, and gratitude behind every customer who chooses to wear the brand. For the women who wants to wear something that feels rare. Something soft but striking. Something that looks like it belongs in a dream, but still feels like her. That is Lesmè. ✨

I’ve always had a creative itch—there’s nothing better than taking different yarns and fabric and turning them into something you can wear or snuggle up in on a chilly evening.

At Home-Cooked Crafts, you’ll find a cozy collection of mostly crocheted, one-of-a-kind items I’ve custom-made over the last 10 years. Love something you see in the store? I’d be thrilled to make a personalized version just for you. Have a fresh idea you’ve been dreaming up? Reach out, and I'll do my best to bring it to life!

Austen Gordon (b.1987) completed her Btech in Interior Design at Tshwane University of Technology, in Pretoria, and since then has worked as a designer, teacher and marketing manager. In 2023, Austen left her full time position to pursue painting and art full time. She has participated in several group exhibitions in Cape Town and regularly shows her work through independent solo shows. Austen's work explores illustrative realism, wordplay and principles of aestheticism. She loves to use unusual colour combinations in her works and apply her visuals to a variety of substrates. She is interested in taking a theme or a subject matter, working and re-working it and watching it evolve and change. Currently, she focuses on creating bright blooms nestled in quirky patterned vases. These sit against various backdrops—some plain, some patterned—atop tablecloths adorned with patterns of their own. Drawing on endless references found in nature, she represents the flowers and foliage in a manner that recalls, but does not quite mimic, reality. Her works possess a sense of stillness juxtaposed with a flurry of detail and application of colour.

I've always believed that the places we spend our time should make us feel something. For me, that's the ocean at sunrise, mountain trails, quiet moments on the road, and the simple beauty that often goes unnoticed. Photography has become my way of holding onto those moments, and these prints are my way of sharing them with you. Every image in this collection was captured during real adventures and everyday moments that made me stop, breathe, and appreciate the world around me. They're more than photographs—they're reminders to slow down, explore, and find beauty in the ordinary. Whether you're creating a calm space at home, adding character to your office, or searching for a meaningful gift, I hope these prints bring a sense of peace, adventure, and inspiration into your life. Thank you for supporting my work. Every print you purchase helps me continue exploring, creating, and telling stories through my lens. I can't wait for a piece of my journey to become part of yours.
