Heart & Home Online Shop

I love beautiful things. I can browse markets and quaint little shops for hours, finding little  treasures along the way. But I hate to go shopping  for the sake of shopping or because I need to find something. You know, when you have to buy a present for someone and the only option is to head for to the mall. And then you end up overspending on a mediocre gift. But I have recently embraced the wonder of online shopping, and I am so happy to see more and more wonderful online shops in South Africa. Online shops like Heart and Home. They have beautiful goodies and you don’t even have to drive anywhere to get your hands on them.

Owners of online shop Heart and Home,Vanessa and Kathryn, share the same love for unique and charming products. Mother of two, Vanessa, was working as a finance manager and wanted to be a little more creative and work more flexible hours.  Kathryn will be welcoming her first child in September and the online gift shop gives them a fulfilling career and enough time to spend with their children. Heart and Home offers local products as well as products sourced from abroad.  They really wanted to offer homeware that aren’t readily available in South Africa. “We especially love the local, handmade babushka dolls, owls and tepee tents which you can find in our handmade section. But we also love products from the UK and Scandinavia.”

But the best part is that it all comes at a reasonable price.  Heart and Home offers a very good courier rate for Cape Town and Johannesburg customers and make use of the South African Post Office. So delivery costs are very reasonable. International shoppers are also welcome, as Heart and Home can ship to anywhere in the world. To make the whole process even more convenient, they offer a complimentary gift wrapping service. Each gift is wrapped in a red and white polka dot gift wrap with red Petersham ribbon. Their customised “Special Wishes” gift tag is attached with your personal message.

Heart and Home is running a promotion until the 31st of July 2012. You will receive 15% off your initial purchase once you sign up for the Heart and Home online newsletter. And today they are also giving away a R350 Heart and Home gift voucher.

I love anything to do with food {especially eating}, collecting pretty things, nesting, afternoon naps, reading and pinning. I am terrible at any kind of needle work, and I secretly envy those who can knit, sew and crochet. Freshly picked jasmin makes me happy. If I could choose my last meal on earth it, would be warm ciabatta bread with lashings of butter.

    My older sister was so lucky to find out she is pregnant with a baby girl! To have both genders I find is very special, esspecially after each other. I am busy organizing her Babyshower , and though on going for ALL WHITE, and loved the ideas on Christine Meintjies’ sisters kitchen tea: and defenitly going for that Feel… Paper flower, and egg packaging, and old chutney bottels – ALL SPRAYED WHITE!!! so I though the WHITE HEART CUPBOARD (on picture number 5 from the top) would be wonderfull to 1.Give as a present and 2. use at her babyshower, maybe for some cute rabbits to peep out there or filling it with something special… The theme for the babyshower are ‘PETER THE RABBIT’, so could be very fun to decorate with :) :) :) :)

  • http://www.letsgetsnug.co.uk Hannah

    It all looks to pretty! But for me it would have to the ‘croquet set’ as i’m planning a summer wedding this year and just imagine the guests delight at the sight of this quaint essential passtime. I’m loving the nostaligic packaging also, it’s fab!x

  • http://YourWebsite Bernice

    OH MY!!! This is vintage heaven!!! How beautiful all the flower prints and litlle details look. At first I almost didn’t read the article because I only saw that the shop wasn’t in Gauteng (as most of these beautiful treasures aren’t) but then, to my delight I saw I could do online shopping! And of course the first item that caught my eye was the regncy cake stand and no surprise as to why. As a bride to be of a vintage winter wedding, everything I see or read automatically turns to how something beautiful can be added to the day. And this cake stand is beautiful beyond measure. Good work and I’m sure you’ll have your hands full with admiring fans. I for one am officially sold!

  • http://YourWebsite Aletia Marais

    I would buy everything if I could, but if I had to choose it would be the fabulous red scale! I’ve just started testing my baking skills in the kitchen and the scale would be very helpful! My measuring skills are not that great…=)

  • http://cheesecakehunter.blogspot.com/ Jessica Laubscher

    Oh wow, the 3 tier regency cake stand is stunning (and so is everything else in Heart and Home!) I am a tea-party-accessory fanatic with an extra soft spot for cake stands and tea cups. I have even gone so far as to write my name underneath all my granny’s beautiful porcelain cups and cake stands (she was a wedding cake baker back in her working days so maybe that is where I got my love for these little treasures from) to make sure that I would inherit them one day. Keeping my fingers crossed to win! ;) Xxx

My fiance and I are both from the “platteland’ and so there is no better way to celebrate our love and devotion to each other than in our hometown with the people we love with a plat-op-die-aarde-plattelandse-troue :) The beautiful cup cake stand reminds me of country style fancy… so it would be perfect for our wedding!
