Hi folks. We had planned to open our shop today but due to the ongoing bushfire emergency in the area, we will be closed. We evaculated late last night and stayed with friends. We hope to return to the hills later today and open the shop tomorrow if the emergency has passed. Stay safe everyone x

The @stirlingmarket is on again tomorrow! The weather forecast is a little fierce but don't let that deter you! Come early before it gets too hot and check out our gorgeous new baskets from Ghana and our menagerrie of metal animals and birds from Zimbabwe. Heat-tolerant Henry will be there so drop in and say hi if you get the chance 😊 Our Hahndorf shop will be open tomorrow, Monday and Australia Day Tuesday from 10am to 5pm so if you're in the mood for a road trip to the Adelaide hills, swing through Hahndorf for a visit (and pick up some baked goods from Otto's across the road)! #zimbabwemetalsculptures #recycledmetal #metalart #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #gardenart #zimbabwecraft #retailtherapy #handmade #fairtrade #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia

Hi everyone! After a little holiday from social media, we're back! We've returned to normal trading days at our Hahndorf shop - Thursday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm. Our online shop is, of course, open all the time: zambezicrafts.com An enormous consignment of baskets from Ghana will arrive this week so if you need a basket for picnics, shopping, storage, work or play, there will be plenty in our shop from Saturday and on our website soon after. Now's the time to use the gift voucher you received for Christmas! Hope to see you in the shop some time soon xx #zimbabwemetalsculptures #recycledmetal #metalart #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #gardenart #daisies #poppies #roses #daffodils #zinnias #jonquils #tulips #metalflowers #zimbabwecraft #handmade #fairtrade #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia

Thank you to everyone who's visited our shop in the last week! It's been marvellous to meet you and chat and hear your stories. Since we're open every day through to Christmas Eve, we're restocking every night so there are plenty of beautiful African crafts to choose from! We only a have a few of these cute squirrels left. They didn't even make it onto our website before almost selling out! We'll have two at the shop tomorrow and two at the Stirling Market on Sunday. Send us a message if you'd like one (or more)! They're $50 each. #zimbabwemetalsculptures #recycledmetal #metalart #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #squirrel #gardenart #africansquirrel #metalsquirrel #zimbabwecraft #retailtherapy #handmade #fairtrade #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia

Did you know that all of our metal bird sculptures are based on real birds, and that many of them can be found in southern Africa? We think these might be western bluebirds, but we're still researching the matter! We have a beautiful array of painted birds at the moment including blue wrens, waxbills, plovers, bluejays and bee eaters. Prices range from $22 to $45. We're open until 8pm tonight and tomorrow night so come to Hahndorf and experience the sweet ambience of this historic town at twilight ⭐🎄⭐ #zimbabwemetalsculptures #recycledmetal #metalart #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #gardenart #africanbirds #metalbird #zimbabwecraft #retailtherapy #handmade #fairtrade #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia

If you're stressing about Christmas presents and running out of time to go shopping, we can help you with that! From tomorrow (Thursday 10 December) our shop in Hahndorf will be open from 10am to 5pm EVERY DAY until Christmas Eve! And this Friday and Saturday we'll be open until 8pm! Hahndorf is lovely on summer evenings, so why not head over for dinner or a snack and have a stroll along the main street? We have many, many new things in the shop (most of which are not on our website yet), so come and have a look and enjoy some twilight shopping ⭐️ #zimbabwemetalsculptures #recycledmetal #metalart #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #gardenart #zimbabwecraft #retailtherapy #handmade #fairtrade #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #southaustralia

We are eagerly anticipating the arrival of a large shipment of baskets from Ghana. However, due to shipping delays we're not sure if it will arrive just before Christmas or just after. But don't despair! We still have many lovely u-shopper baskets in our shop, one large round basket and many small round baskets. Several are available from our online shop and we also have gift vouchers. We'll let you know when the new shipment has arrived and endeavour to upload as many baskets to our online shop as we can for those of you who can't get to Hahndorf. Our fingers are crossed that we won't have to wait much longer! 💕 #ghanabaskets #bolgabaskets #baskets #basketsofinstagram #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #handmade #handwoven #fairtrade #retailtherapy #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia

Ever seen a bat so beautiful? It's made from recycled metal - and by hand - in Zimbabwe!

It has certainly been a busy few days for us with a container from Zimbabwe arriving on Friday then preparing for and running our stall at the Stirling Market on Sunday. We're pleased to say, though, that the recycled metal sculptures we've unpacked so far are absolutely stunning! We're working really hard to get as many new things into our shop this week as we can, and also onto our website. Everything gets a good clean and then several coats of clear lacquer to prevent rust. In addition to the bovine beauty in the photo (which comes in two sizes), we now have: * flying bats 🦇 * large and medium butterflies 🦋 * turtles 🐢 * small frogs (two types) 🐸 * flamingos (natural brown and handpainted pink) 🦩 * plovers * bluejays * cobras 🐍 * rabbits (two sizes) 🐇 * swordfish * multi coloured hens 🐔 * small warthogs * beaded creatures, large and small We're still unpacking, so watch this space for more! https://www.zambezicrafts.com/product/cow-recycled-metal/ #zimbabwemetalsculptures #recycledmetal #metalart #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #gardenart #cows #metalcow #zimbabwecraft #cowsofinstagram #retailtherapy #handmade #fairtrade #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia

Hey guess what? The Stirling Market, which was cancelled last Sunday due to the covid lockdown in SA, will be run THIS Sunday!! We're absolutely thrilled! Same place and same time - Druid Avenue from 10am to 4pm. The weather forecast is for 27C, which is perfect 💕 Our latest container from Zimbabwe reached Adelaide on Sunday so there's a jolly good chance that we'll be able to show you some of our new metal sculptures too! If you can't get to the market, our shop will be open from Thursday to Sunday and it's bursting with beautiful gift ideas. #zimbabwemetalsculptures #recycledmetal #metalart #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #gardenart #zimbabwecraft #retailtherapy #handmade #fairtrade #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia
