Peonys ..freshly picked today

Marilyn from Northcote

From 5pm today there will be another variety added to the bucket. Maestro. This flower is an absolute stunner. When the bud hasn't opened it really is the ugly duckling of the bunch. Small, tightly closed..for those that havnt yet seen the Maestro peony in bloom- it's understandable why you would give it a miss.
But don't be fooled!! Maestro opens to be a deep rich red, a double flower with golden stamen for that extra zing of colour.
A limited supply of these. There will be approx 6 bunches avail later today. Coral charm available as well. $10 for 6 long stems. An honesty box available so please have correct change. Please message me for any inquirys. 020 406 44231

WANTED - Hat Blocks & Hat Making Equipment PLEASE..

Helen from Strowan

Can anyone help.. My daughter is interested in starting to attempt to make hats as a hobby.
I was wondering if anyone might have any old wooden hat blocks (similar to the one pictured) or any old hat making tools or equipment that they no longer use and would like them to go to a good home.
Happy to pay for these.
Please message or email us on mjbraithwaite@xtra.co.nz
