I bought some recycled toys and art objects on a recent visit to Cape Town, South Africa. They're all hand made in the townships around Cape Town and the artists make a living from selling them.
All the toys work, as do the radio and pen. It's nice to have souvenirs made from the brands you enjoyed on holiday. I drank the soda that the motorbike is made of and I had many packets of chips that I recognize in the placemat I bought. It's also very inspiring to bring these objects back and try and create similar pieces at home, especially with children.
I bought most of the items at the Artvark in Kalk Bay and Red Rock Tribal on Wildshutesbrand Farm in the Cape Peninsula.
