Christmas Craft Harvest Markets

Danielle Muller from The Village Square Trust

🎄 Brace yourselves, the most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner! 🎅 No need to panic just yet, we still have six more weeks until Christmas, but our annual series of Christmas Craft Harvest markets are starting next week to help you get your Chrissy shopping done nice and early! 🎁

Our Craft Harvest stallholders, our very own version of Santa's elves 😉, have been crafting like crazy to bring you a collection of amazing, unique handmade items. Join us in the Jubilee Hall next Saturday 25 November, to discover the gorgeous treasures waiting for you and maybe even cross a few names off your shopping list!

Mark your calendars because our series of Christmas Craft Harvest Markets will run on 25 November and 2, 9, 16, and 23 December. You'll find us in the Jubilee Hall alongside Parnell Farmers’ Market, creating the perfect opportunity for you to not only snag some beautiful crafts but also enjoy a yummy breakfast and your weekly veggies. 🛍️🌽

Make it a festive day out with us – shopping, dining, and soaking up the holiday spirit! 🎉✨

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!
