Hi everyone! It’s been AGES since our last post so we thought we’d give you a quick update. We sold our house in the Adelaide Hills a few months ago and set out to find a place with more space and more sheds. It took a while, but our search ended in the Rural City of Murray Bridge! We found a property that’s not far from the river and is just right for us. Settlement is in a few weeks. We can’t wait! 🍾 We’ve also bought a ute! After years of hauling trailer-loads of metal sculptures all over the place, Henry’s faithful Camry called it a day so it was time to upgrade. Henry loves this thing so much that I’ve only been allowed to drive it once so far. Is that fair??!! And what's new in our shop? A load of baskets from Ghana has just arrived so oval and u-shoppers are back in stock. We also have a beautiful selection of handwoven bowls and winnowing baskets from Binga in Zimbabwe (photos coming soon). BTW it's business as usual for us in Hahndorf. We're not moving our shop to Murray Bridge - just our household! Our shop is in the main street opposite Otto’s Bakery and we’re open from Thursday to Sunday and on public holidays from 10am to 5pm. We’re also at the Stirling Market every month (4th Sunday) and our online shop (www.zambezicrafts.com) is always open. Hope to see you soon! #stirlingmarket #hahndorf #explorehahndorf

Happy Easter everyone! We hope you enjoy the 4-day break and have some fine weather in your neck of the woods. Hahndorf is bathed in sunshine today and will be throughout the long weekend. Our shop is open from 10am to 5pm right through to Monday. If you need a basket for an egg hunt, drop in - we have plenty to choose from! #ghanabaskets #bolgabaskets #baskets #basketsofinstagram #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #handmade #handwoven #fairtrade #retailtherapy #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia

For those of you who like to make a bit of a fuss on Valentine's Day, we have some lovely gifts that your significant other may enioy! How about some roses made from recycled metal or a kissing hare sculpture for your garden? Handmade in Zimbabwe and ethically sourced directly from the artists. Lovely! Our shop in Hahndorf is open today until 5pm and tomorrow from 10am to 5pm. Pop in for a browse 💕 #zimbabwemetalsculptures #recycledmetal #metalart #africancraft #africancraftaustralia #gardenart #hares #metalhares #metalroses #zimbabwecraft #haresofinstagram #retailtherapy #handmade #fairtrade #adelaidehills #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia

If you're wondering why we've been a bit quiet on Instagram lately, it's because we're getting our house ready for sale. It's a lot of work (on top of the other work we do), and there are never enough hours to do it all! Naturally, since we're selling, we're also looking to buy a place. Our business is growing and we really need storage space so we're hoping to find: * an old house (pre-1970s, unrenovated is fine) * with 3 or 4 bedrooms * an epic shed (or several sheds) * anywhere in the viscinity of Aldgate, Bridgewater, Heathfield, Mylor, Verdun, Balhannah, Oakbank or Woodside SA. If you know of anyone selling such a place, please call us, send us a message or drop into the shop. Conversely, if you know of someone wanting to buy a 1920s cottage in Aldgate with a modern extension and stunning views, let us know! #adelaidehills #adelaidehillsrealestate #hahndorf #explorehahndorf #stirlingmarket #southaustralia

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.

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
