Out of experience I know that building your own business is surely not easy and comes with many hours and years of dedication. Nuts about Books and Toys is probably one of the more well known shops on the Midlands Meander in Howick. Lorraine Rogers, owner of this little gem of a shop is one of those people who just knows how to run a business and go the extra mile and thus (in my opinion) one of the many reasons for the success of her business. I spent a hour in this shop two weeks ago to document a few moments of a typical Saturday morning inside this shop. Lorraine started her business in 2008 and end of last year they moved to 3 on Mare, opposite the beautiful Yard 41 in Howick. Having kids of my own and often needing either a gift for the kids or maybe even a friend its really great to know I don't need to drive all the way to Pietermaritzburg to buy toys or books for my kids.
I've been in numerous toy stores in my life but Nuts about Books and Toys is definitely worth a visit, especially since they also stock some of the more out of the ordinary toys and gifts. Lorraine, thank you for allowing me to capture some moments and some of the awesome stock in your shop, your years of hard work is really reflecting through this beautiful business. If you haven't been there, do yourself a favour and pop in soon. Hope you guys enjoy these!

Books and toys are the only thing that we sell at our store. My family had always been very interested and keen to children development. I am who I am because of how I was raised by my parents. In my opinion, growing in an environment where you can read a lot and play a lot, is the best way to grow up. Reading and playing are both great activities that can help nurture a child's imagination and creative talent.
