Autumn
Leaves are turning but the sun continues to shine
crisp clear days can be spent outdoors letting rays
warm your face, or head inside it if gets a little chilly
The seasons daily double;  great food and relaxed living

Mexican Proverb...
"A home does not rest upon the ground but upon a woman"   

Hi I'm Cathi and welcome to my web site. As you can see, I love vintage home-ware
My collection continually changes and items are often one off items that I either import, or buy at auctions, markets or sales.

Do you have home ware you no longer require please contact me for a price, as I am always looking for items for my store and for others.

Are you looking for a particular piece please contact me and I will try and locate the item for you.  Currently I am looking for a W H Gindley & Co Ltd, Ivory, England, "The Cannes" Bread Plate and a Royal Crown Derby Breakfast Cup if you have one you would like to sell

Are you organising an event and would like me to run a stall at your event, then please contact me.

Are you staging a home and want an authentic vintage theme then contact me, as I love helping to stage homes

"Your website is fantastic!   We are moving to a new property ..., so your gardening tips and timings will be really useful for getting the veggie garden up and pumping!   It’s nice to have ‘area related’ advice as we’re in the sunny BOP also..." Corina, Te Puke Member

"Great website and past time. Love it. Especially the gardening. I am learning to container garden after having 2 acres at the farm and now having no garden. It’s fun."... Kim, Taupo Member
