VINTAGE PAPER MACHE WINE BOTTLE COVERS

Felicity from Tamahere

These two paper mache ‘shells’ were discovered in a secret cupboard when a house built in 1925 was being cleaned out. They had been there since before 1965 when my grandparents moved in. They are in good condition considering their age but have minor damage on top and near the base of the right hand one. They are a collector’s item - great for a winery with a memorabilia collection or for a private collector. A memory of a bygone age!
Can be sold separately - $15 for the better one, $10 for the other.
Cash payment upon pick-up preferred.

Price: $25

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
