Jacqui Bird – of Jacqui’s Treasures – has opened a charming new Art Gallery and Antique Store in Rose Hall, Montego Bay, Jamaica.
The store is a Vintage Caribbean lovers dream, and teams with items sourced from Great Houses and family homes throughout Jamaica.
Jacqui’s Treasures has supplied Hummingbird Hall with many unique pieces over the years, so we are delighted that the new store has opened in our area!
Wonderfully, Jacqui showcases Jamaican artists in a permanent collection within the shop, and has a Bazaar on the last Saturday of each month to give artists and artisans throughout Jamaica exposure.
Delicious gourmet coffee, knowledgeable service, beautiful art work and the chance to support local artists – an afternoon well spent, we say!

At the Bazaar I was also fortunate enough to meet with Chantel du Plessis, the mosaic artist behind Pleasure Pictures. Chantel creates wonderfully playful mosaic designs that reference the Caribbean experience.
From her mirrors…
I love how the word ‘RESPECT’ is almost like an optical illusion!
Note the real driftwood detail!
To her furniture…
Adorable turtle detail!
And wall hangings..
And even her stepping stones..
Chantel’s work oozes handmade Caribbean charm and fun!
