Collect the map from any of the 13 participating bookstores in Wairarapa. For each store you visit & make a purchase from on the day, you'll receive a stamp on your map. Each stamp gives you an additional entry into the grand prize draw for $650 worth of bookshop vouchers - $50 from every participating store!
One of the (many) great things about Wairarapa is that we have 13 bookshops all within about 30 minutes drive of one another, so it's entirely possible for you to hop around all 13 bookshops if you feel so inclined!
It's the first event of its kind in New Zealand, thanks to organiser Millie Blackwell of Mrs Blackwell's Village Bookshop in Greytown. She was inspired by an event she'd participated in while living in California where knitting stores get together for a Yarn Store Hop every spring. Millie says, "Like readers, knitters love variety and the chance to visit a collection of stores with other knitters creates a really fun day with lots of happy energy."
The 13 participating bookshops:
📚Carterton
- Almo's Books
- Take Note
📚Featherston
- Chicken and Frog
- Featherston Ferret
- For The Love of BOOKS
- Messines Bookshop
- Mr Feather's Den
- The Dickensian Bookshop
📚Greytown
- Mrs Blackwell's Village Bookshop
📚Martinborough
- The Martinborough Bookshop
📚Masterton
- Bear Flag Books & Retro
- Hedleys Books
- PaperPlus
Given the variable weather you might find you're inside a bit these holidays 🌧. Two nice puzzles here (Winnie the Pooh and Disney Ariel) and a set of brand new playing cards. Greytown pick up or can deliver Masterton

This large duvet, Super King, has two layers domed together, so that you can alternate the layers with the seasons. One layer had 80% goose down, the other 50% goose down.
It measures 265 by 210 cms.
The cover is 100% cotton.
The more than reasonable price is because it has been in storage … View moreThis large duvet, Super King, has two layers domed together, so that you can alternate the layers with the seasons. One layer had 80% goose down, the other 50% goose down.
It measures 265 by 210 cms.
The cover is 100% cotton.
The more than reasonable price is because it has been in storage for a while ( in a smoke free, dry, pet free home) and you may wish to have it dry cleaned.
Ive folded it up for the photo rather than spread it out as it is rather large.
It hasn't had a lot of use.
A quality item.
Thanks for looking.
