Cat run down

Sally from Mission Bay

Hi neighbours. Last night our precious cat was killed by a speeding car on Gowing drive. The way people fly down our part of the road has always concerned me and I have almost been taken out a number of times trying to come out my driveway because of the speed people choose to drive on the corner coming down the hill. We are absolutely beyond devastated to lose our fur baby and while I know that cats get killed by cars all the time, I imagine by her injuries and position on the road that the car that hit her was clearly speeding. It was heartbreaking that whoever hit her also did nothing- just left her in the middle of the road :( Can I ask our neighbours and those who use Gowing drive specifically as their own race track, to be more mindful of the impact your driving can have on others. I had got our beautiful wee cat to help me grieve the loss of my best friend to suicide four months ago, so it is particularly heartbreaking for us.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Original Art on Baseball Caps / Hats

Connie from Remuera

UPDATE 29.4 The Wisteria & Butterfly Cap is sold.

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.
