The Flower Barrow

On my last trip home with Brendan we stayed at Mum and Dad`s new place just out of Napier. While there i met Natasha who has The Flower Barrow in Taradale, the most stunning florist. She also stocks cute crafty pieces from local crafts people, I`m not exactly local but i`m lucky to now be stocked by her.You can now get Wendy dresses, cute little girl and bunny brooches ,coin purses and the like, when you go in to get your fresh flowers for the week.

Something new

I got together with Jackie from Reissued  to turn some old tapestries into footstools.Here is the result, i have a few more so maybe we will get more made up.

I will be here tomorrow

My trip back home

Home in Auckland is no longer home, as mum and dad packed up and moved to Napier. More about that another time. So this time i stayed with my brother at his flat/studio/gallery in the city. I was only staying for four days to see his new exhibition in Parnell, only the volcano in Chilli had other ideas. I ended up staying 9 days and going to Napier with mum and dad for a few days. I would have to say it was great having a forced break, but bloody freezing in Napier when you only took enough clothes for a few days. The photo`s are a few of Richards exhibition pieces.
