A Country Occasion at Neudorf.....

Don't forget today is the beginning of the fete season.....

Country arts and produce under the trees at Neudorf Winery. 90 stalls and music by Liam Ryan & Friends. Gates open 10am.

All proceeds go to charity - Child Cancer, Moutere Community Centre. Entrance fee $10 children under 12 free. Car parking is in Rosedale Rd.

I will be there with loads of good junk, lots of new items and most of them sold singlularly....whats not sold will be going back to the suppliers......so this is your only chance to stock up on all those little embellishments we LOVE so much!

 

It's nice to be back.....

Being off line for one week was bad enough, however three weeks I didn't cope at all well with......it made me dwell on how much I use and rely on technology. In my generation, we have sent hand-written letters for many years so I had at least that to fall back on or I picked up the telephone......I keep thinking how much anxiety this must produce in the young generation when it happens to them. That instant contact is gone, it is all they know.

For me I LOVE having the contact with all my friends around the globe so easily but I would be OK to write letters or postcards more often if I needed too! Finding mail in the letterbox is such a joyful thing.....and part of why I write to others now and again. And another reason I love Christmas time so much....have you finished sending your xmas mail? Mine cards will get posted this coming week.

A Country Occasion.....

Hello everyone I am back.....and, I am going to be at Neudorf winery for The Country Occasion on Sunday with loads of "Good Junk", and to celebrate this great venue and the beginning of all the wonderful summer fun in Nelson.......I have some special giveaways and a 50% off specials bin. Here's a peak at a little I will have in my stall.....

The weather forecast is brilliant sunshine, so pop on a sunhat, slap on loads of sunscreen and join in the fun......from 10-4pm enjoy live music, great food, artisan cheeses oils & wines, antiques, tea garden (Mapua school fundraiser)huge array of stalls in the most gorgeous setting.....and much more. The Finns generously donate all the proceeds to Child Cancer, the local cycle trail and Community Centre.
