Hand decorated 14cm indoor plant pot

Christopher from Blenheim

This is a 14cm ceramic indoor plant pot hand decorated by my 10 year old daughter in permanent ceramic ink.
The ink is baked on so is supposed to be water and dishwasher proof, although I'm guessing you wouldn't put a plant pot in the dishwasher.
I haven't put a specific price as I'm not sure what to ask for something like this, so I'll see what offers are out there.
My daughter could also take commissions if anyone's interested.
Dogs and horses are her main interest, and apart from plant pots, she can also do kitchen usable ceramics, and she does line art and coloured pencil drawings as well. We can reproduce her line art on T-shirts.
I can post more examples of her art if anyone's interested.
I'm trying to teach her rather than giving her pocket money, I'll buy stuff that allows her to be creative so that she can earn money through her own effort.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
