Reverse Movember raises more than $8800

Katie Townshend Reporter from The Nelson Mail

Andrew Pullen flipped the script for Movember: instead of sprouting facial hair to help raise money for men’s health research, he put his signature beard at risk, promising to shave it off if he raised more than $5000. In all, he and his colleagues raised more than $8800, and he found himself in … View moreAndrew Pullen flipped the script for Movember: instead of sprouting facial hair to help raise money for men’s health research, he put his signature beard at risk, promising to shave it off if he raised more than $5000.

CAFE PARIS COFFEE CUP SAUCER & PLATE [2]
1 x coffee cup
1 x saucer
1 x side plate

Enduringly popular, since they were first produced in the 1990's. They were based on an original piece of art by an American female artist whose name escapes me. Never cheap but hold their value well, these have been collected by me for the last 30 years. I am down sizing now and have split them into smaller lots for those of you who want a smaller investment.

All in good condition. I have used them as my summer outdoor luncheon and coffee service. There are no chips, cracks or glaze crazing.

The manufacturers have changed over the years. So each set is comprised of different manufacturers, as noted on the base.

More varieties for sale on Etsy if you are keen.

Pick up from central Nelson at the top of Collingwood

Price: $25

LAVENDER COCKTAIL OR PARTY DRESS SIZE 12-14, VINTAGE 50'S-60'S ORIGINAL

Very good condition.
Beautifully made, the neck detail in particular isn't seen today. Tiny hem. Room for a crinoline underneath if a full skirt is desired.
I have kept it for decades hoping to fit back into it again. No such luck of course.
Fabric all man made, the fabric rustles when moved. Does that sound like taffeta to you? The white neck detail is very fine sheer gauze. I don't know what either of the fabrics are called.
Lined upper bodice.
Metal zip at back.

Measurements [as best as I can manage.]:
Armholes 46cm circumference.
Waist 88cm circumference.
Back between base of armpits 48cm
Front between base of armpits 52cm
Skirt 72cm long.
Zip neck to waist 42cm. Zip itself is much longer.
Label says 16, but it is very definitely smaller than that. [unreadable maker]

Pick up from central Nelson, at the top of Collingwood St.
