In addition to this request, is there a neighbour who would like to join me/others in social Mahjong at a fairly basic level, non competitively, for enjoyment. If that's you, please contact me by 'phone on 4276589 or 0274527527. Thanks, Marg

Arte Mani Studio will exhibit a range of their Italian decorative plaster panel artworks and furniture this Spring in what will be their inaugural New Zealand exhibition. Entitled ‘Venetian Lights’ and running from 21 October – 17 November 2019 at the Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa on Auckland’s Hibiscus Coast, the Arte Mani exhibition is free to all. It hopes to attract lovers of contemporary art and interior design from far and wide.
Specialising in bespoke interior surface finishes and polished Italian plaster, Arte Mani Studio is run by Italian husband and wife team Marco Baldisser and Nicoletta Benella. Both are natives of Italy’s northeast Veneto region, the birthplace of Italian decorative plaster finishing or Stucco Veneziano - a centuries old technique as relevant to interior architecture and design today as it was in the Renaissance or Roman times.
Marco is a master artisan with over 15 years experience in the art of decorative polished plaster. Nicoletta is a freelance designer and illustrator with a career background in interior design and fashion.
Using the versatile, naturally derived medium of Italian plaster Marco has created texture, colour and tactile contemporary pieces of interior design.
“Nicoletta and I both harbour a genuine passion for Italian plaster,” says Marco.
“Everytime I handle it, I am surprised with yet another way to express the beauty and individualism of this incredible medium.”
Marco and Nicoletta work collaboratively for Arte Mani Studio clients on projects big and small. From private bespoke interiors, to commercial and hospitality projects, their thoughtfully crafted artworks are designed and created with a specific space in mind. Arte Mani Studio have an available collection to purchase but are also delighted to work on commission pieces.

For the month of November, we want to raise awareness and work together to end all forms of violence including family harm, elder and child abuse, sexual assault, gang violence, and more. These victimisations affect us all and can have lasting effects that spill into our everyday lives including at work and school.
To do your part this month, perhaps consider supporting a women’s refuge or work with Police in your area to host an info night on how to identify elder or child abuse in your community. This month’s campaign also coincides with White Ribbon Day on 25 November which is an internationally celebrated day that aims to prevent violence towards women.
Let us know how you’re spreading the ‘It’s Not OK’ message in your home or in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Dogs lolling beneath cafe tables while their owners sip lattes or glasses of pinot would have been unthinkable 30 years ago.
Now it is just the way Kiwis roll, with a raft of dog-friendly dining options available throughout the country. What do you think? Should dogs be allowed in cafes?
