You've surely been to an auction, a garage sale, rummaged through charity shops and second-hand stores.
But have you ever bought an item on a verandah and walked away satisfied? Bongiwe (top) did just that when I launched Vintage Verandah on the last Saturday of May. "I bought this dress on a stoep," she told her friends who complimented her at church the next day.
Leora Jones came from Grahamstown and left a satisfied customer. Being a verandah trader takes a lot of planning, One thing I have to improve on for the next event is my money box. Skapie, my purse, makes a statement (telling about my Karoo heritage), but his head is not the place to take change from successfully.
Sanita (customer with hat) and friend enjoyed the vibe ...
It was a brilliant sunny, windless morning and the merchandise spilled over onto the front garden.
Built in 1907, this house have seen many changes in ownership and function. It served as a creche and an old-age home before we came to stay 30 years ago. I think it likes being a "shop"...
