2x Bone China Thimble: Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee 2002 & another

Markus from Green Bay

1x English bone china thimble commemorating the Golden Jubilee in 2002 of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of England featuring Queen Elizabeth with a lovely smile and her tiara and a dedication on the back.

The thimble was made in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire England and measures 1 inch high by .75 inch in diameter and is in excellent condition.

1x unknown thimble (I can’t decipher the text) but seems very well made.

$10 for the queen one, $5 for the other, or $12 for both together

Pickup in Green Bay (we live opposite Green Bay High School) is MUCH preferred though it is possible to send if buyer pays p&p, or if you are outside Auckland then maybe a friend of yours in Auckland can do the pickup.

Price: $5

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!
