The Pines Market
We just love the Southern suburbs, so Foxtail Events are heading back to the gorgeous chapel on the hill at The Pines in Houghton Bay!
This stunning location not only offers the best views and hospitality but is a great space to showcase all our talented crafters and artists.
Our locally run market will be showcasing a huge variety of quality items including:
• Plants, fresh flowers & seedlings
• Fresh artisan bakery items
• Jewellery
• Clothing, bags and accessories
• Crochet & knitted toys
• Scented Candles
• Homewares & soft furnishings
• Children & baby items
• Skincare & soaps
• Wheat bags & hot water bottle covers
• Wooden Products
• Ceramics & pottery
• Pet accessories
• Carvings & sculptures
• Wool products
• Much much more.
A coffee cart and food trucks will provide a selection of the delicious food and drink to enjoy while you peruse the various treasures and beautiful items for sale.
Each stall will have either cash or eftpos facilities available, however it is best to bring cash to the market too.
Invite a friend or 2 and have a great day out at this fantastic community event.
This is a great opportunity to do some shopping and then hit the beaches and enjoy the sunshine!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
