Hi to everyone.

Lonsdale Street - Street Sale

Lonsdale Street residents are holding a huge street/garage sale this Saturday 1 December. Residents are putting up tables or opening up their garages and selling stuff they no longer want or need.

So come on down for a look. You may find something you need or want!

It is being held from 9 am until 2 pm and the sun WILL be shining! There may even be a sausage sizzle!

If there are any further Lonsdale residents who want to join in please feel free. The more the merrier and a good time to have a bit of a cleanup before the crazy holiday season! And a few extra dollars in the pocket too.

Look forward to a fun filled day.

Regards

So have you pimped up your postbox? If so, we'd love to see a picture and hear the story behind it for a feature on Homed... Did you create it from scratch or repurpose a household item? What was the inspiration for your design? And how have people reacted to it?

You can email your letterbox photos to homed@stuff.co.nz and someone will be in touch - and thanks in advance!

We like to empower our members to be creative and to restart their crafts that they may have stopped. It has helped many to be more proactive and it has enabled many to get more into the community. So us holding the market is a way we can help our members and volunteers to bring you the super bargains in the crafts being sold. So pop on down and see us on Friday. If wet we will still be holding our market inside the cafe hall / church. so plenty of room :-) warm wishes Julie Williams - supervisor
