Alberton Vintage Market Day!
Sunday 13 October 11am-3:30pm.
The grand ballroom and extensive verandah of Auckland’s historic Alberton are the perfect settings for this mini market of vintage and antique treasures!
Featuring fine china, textiles, clothing, accessories, glassware, crystal, silver, kitchen & tableware, Crown Lynn, jewellery, retro bric-a-brac and more, vendors include The Crown Lynn & More Store coming all the way from Thames. Highlights include Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint furniture painting demos by Troupes Vintage at midday & 2pm and a surprise flash mob swing dance performance by the Grammophone Gang!
Gelato, Crêpes, a pop-up bakery and coffee caravan will provide sustenance and old-fashioned games such as quoits and croquet will keep the kids entertained. A spectacular raffle prize hamper of vintage goodies and shop vouchers from stores such as Junk & Disorderly and Yvonne Saunders antiques will be up for grabs.
Come along to find a gem or a bargain! Learn the history of this beautiful, historic homestead built in 1863 and the lives of its inhabitants, the Kerr Taylors. This event is part of the Auckland Heritage Festival 2019 with the theme of 'Journeys'.
FREE ENTRY to the market. House admission - adults $10, children free.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
0% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
0% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
