CALLING ALL CREATORS, RE-CREATORS, CRAFTERS, REPAIRERS, RESTORERS, UPCYCLERS AND RECYCLERS!
We are going to market!
I am looking for stall-holders for a new market. The Sustainable HB Market.
If you or your business is all about being sustainable and minimising waste, through repairing and restoring items, or creating new from old, or from salvage, I want you to join me.
I’m not just talking about arts and crafts, clothing and bric’a’brac, I’m talking about furniture, housewares, tools and hardware, clothing and cushions, and arts and craft. If you make it, re-make it, salvage and save it, I want you to be part of Hawkes Bay's new market.
I am looking at 4 big markets a year (every season), starting in September, where you can showcase your products, talents and businesses.
Are you unemployed/retired and looking to earn some extra money with your hobby, or trying to start or grow your own repair/restoration business? Are you a carpenter/knitter/sewer/sculptor/upholsterer/turner/handyperson/classic car restorer/artist etc, are you a small business person doing your part to replace single use plastics with environmentally sound products, or are you trying to do something good for the environment as you make a little pocket money? Let’s do it together!
Email me at store@re-new.nz and tell me your story.
Let’s see if we can show the rest of the world how we do Sustainable in Hawke’s Bay. #sustainableHBmarket

Can you crack Today’s neighbourhood conundrum?
Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?

New World Havelock North car park
Sitting in my work van, in the new New World carpark and I’ve been getting dirty looks. I get it. My van is halfway into the driving area. Literally. If you look, even from a distance, you’ll see my back end is almost hard against the fence, with my towball around the corner of the fence.
My work van is over 6m long and the car parks are only about 4.5m. The only spaces I can park out of the way are the nearest and the furthest corners from the door. And that still means parking across another carpark. Today, both those parks were taken.
Now, before you point out that I shouldn’t bring such a big vehicle to the supermarket, 1) why not? Everyone needs to shop; and 2) I drive a retirement village resident passenger van. And they have as much right to shop as anyone.
Okay, so park in the mobility parks. Nope. I don’t have a Mobility decal or placard. And, those parks are the same length as all the others.
So, if you want to get me to stop blocking the way, do the supermarket survey on your receipts and ask for one way driving around the carpark (clockwise is the most logical and safest) and oversized parks. Almost every other supermarket has them. Vehicles are getting bigger, parks aren’t.
