Celebrate Waitangi Day ... Picnic in a Park
Looking for something to do this beautiful Waitangi Day? Why not enjoy a relaxing picnic in the park with family and friends in one of Auckland's many green spaces? There's nothing like a cool shady spot on a hot day. Auckland Tourism has a great summary of parks in the Auckland region ... www.aucklandnz.com...
Make use of one of the BBQs provided or take your own*. Saint Johns Butchery has all your BBQ treats, already prepared and ready to go. Alternatively, try our South Island salmon, smoked in store and flavoured with lemon pepper. Fish from a butcher? Of course! This delicious ready-to-eat treat is perfect for lunch or dinner.
We're open between 10.00am - 5.00pm today, so you have plenty of time to pop in store for your picnic supplies :-)
* Things to note about using your own BBQ in Auckland parks...
...You cannot take coal or wood burning barbecues into parks, reserves or beaches.
...You can take your own gas barbecue into parks and reserves, but you must not use it near or under trees.
...All open flamed barbecues should be elevated at least 30cm off the ground.
Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats
Hello everyone,
I am presenting a limited release of hand-painted artwork on Baseball Caps. There will only be 29 caps in this range. For now, please do have a look at the first seven Caps attached. I will post more in the future as I work on them.
Price per piece = $55.00.
Fabric look/feel is suede-like (not real suede). It is a really nice quality cap. You can zoom out each photo to view better.
Adjustable backstrap with metal clasp.
NOTE: Some Caps have more than one photo to give you views from different sides (I can send you more photos if required).
Mother's Day is just two weeks away. This would make a really memorable yet practical gift for that special person. OR...get it for yourself! Just know that when you are wearing it to brunch, on your walks or at tennis/golf, YOU are the only person in the world with this original piece of wearable art ☺️.
Pickup in Remuera or happy to courier:
P&p $16.00 (with signature)
Rural addresses +$5.50.
If you want it sent overseas, I am happy to quote.
For the remaining Caps that I will be painting, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see, or if you would like to order a cap with a particular bird/flower et , I am happy to consider. No portraits please! That would be too hard on fabric 😅.
Have a lovely weekend,
Connie.
PS. I apologise for the low photo resolution as I had to resize them down to be able to post.
