It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!

Poll: Is there still a place for marmalade in your kitchen... and your heart?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

In our upcoming July issue though, gardening guru Lynda Hallinan says marmalade is in danger of extinction because fewer and fewer people are buying, making or eating it!

ASB warns of 'smishing' scam

ASB customers are being targeted in a "smishing" scam. They've been getting text messages claiming they've been locked out of their bank accounts, but it's really a ruse to get them to hand over their banking details.

ASB is aware of a current SMS ('smishing') scam where people have been sent a text message pretending to be from the bank. The 'smishing' SMS contains a link that once clicked prompts the person to provide personal information and a wide range of details such as login details and their Netcode.

ASB wants to remind everyone that legitimate messages from any bank would never ask customers to supply personal information, login details or second-factor identification.

The ASB Contact Centre is available on 0800 803 804 if a customer is concerned about any suspicious messages they receive. Read more here

New Sell On Behalf Recycled Women's Clothes Shop Opening 3 June

And thought I would share my daughter's (aged 15 years) new business venture. It is not an op shop and it won't help those looking for dirt cheap clothes but it is fashion on a budget for those looking for quality clothes at reasonable prices.

On 3 June (tomorrow) from 10am to 3pm Olivia and friend, Eva will be opening a pop up shop at the old Women’s Rest in Hastings. They are selling used clothes on behalf. Brands from Kilt, Charlo, RPM, Country Road, Tommy Hilfiger, to Glassons, Cotton on etc.

They have worked so hard and I hope that it is a huge success, from what I have seen so far I am sure it will be but I am totally biased.

If you want to join in their success you can sell your quality unwanted clothes at Ivy, email: ivystore13@gmail.com or pop in tomorrow and check it out. You can also check out their website www.ivystore13.wixsite.com....
Olivia even designed this gorgeous logo.

People (mainly woman) smoking in a car with their kids right beside or behind them? And the one I saw today left me speechless.. a woman sitting in her car outside a school with a cigarette in her mouth.

After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.

We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?
