"This beautiful drawing was a present from my lovely daughter, Caitlin, for my birthday. It's a portrait of a chap who frequents a large tree at the back of our neighbour's section - it borders our section at the back so he is often peering into our yard - this is the view we normally have of him. I've always valued the handcrafted gifts my children give me - looking at them in chronological order is like viewing the ascent of man. This one's going straight to the trophy room. Kererū/wood pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae)."
I am a local artist and have recently had my collage art (all made from upcycled magazines) made into archival prints. Some have a New Zealand twist and are perfect for posting. They are A4 size, $44 each. If you like to support local, I would be so grateful if you could take a look at … View moreI am a local artist and have recently had my collage art (all made from upcycled magazines) made into archival prints.

Healthy large Hydrangeas plants. I am re-inventing my garden this year, and making space for my new Griselinia Broadway Mint plants. So let me know when you can pickup, then I will dig them out for you, ready for collection.

For delicious grass-raised beef New Zealand is the perfect combo. An ideal climate, lush pastures and innovative farming produces enough beef for Macca’s in New Zealand and around the world.
Our patties are 100% quality beef, and all that’s added is a dash of salt and pepper when cooked.
Shabby chic style, fake red velvet chair. Excellent condition. Suits child up to about age 4/5. Collect from smoke free Paraparaumu home.

Has batteries but will need replacing. Still goes and makes heaps of annoying noises, moves, lights-up etc just like real unicorns aye. Just what you want your kids to play with...it used to have a fake raspberry thing that somehow made it go crazy when the two were put together. If I find it, you're welcome to it but can't guarantee anything.
Collect from smoke free home in Paraparaumu
It goes. It makes coffee.
Only issue is that I think the pump doesn't have enough pressure due to a loose pipe (you can hear a slight hiss) because of this, you need to rotate the dial to "off" and back to coffee mode once or twice to make a shot of coffee.
Pickup from Paraparaumu.
The Kapiti Pakeke Lions Club will be holding a Garage Sale on Saturday 2 October at 8 am on the corner of Realm Drive and Glen Loch Place, Paraparaumu. The beneficiaries of this sale are local charities. Good selection of goods. Ring Barry Cody 904 0568 for information.
Make sure to update any manual clocks (don't forget about our older neighbours who might need a helping hand) and have a wonderful spring weekend!
These artfully crafted vessels have heaps of uses. Simple, inexpensive and totally on-trend – the hardest thing will be deciding which to create first and which Resene colours to use.
