Kia ora Neighbourly communities,
This Sunday, 22 October, 2023 we have the next Crystillery Pop Up from 8am to 12noon at the Riverhead Citizens Hall. For this month as Spring continues to make herself present, we have a wonderful collective of community locals sharing and selling their creative pieces with you. Pop in, have a look, there may be some gifts for a loved ones, crystals and fossils for the young ones or have a quick reading with Lisa. We have appreciated talking and connecting with community members over the last 5 months - and we look forward to seeing you again. As always we are supported by:

Heritage Indian Café coupons for a coffee and Saturday morning home baked butter chicken pie! from Navdeep and Anmol (Namaste!)

Bruce Davey (Carver), Chris and Karen who are Multimedia Artistes with their wonderful range of cards, artworks, gluten free wheat bags, jewellery and a selection of hand carved items.

Julie or Julz to her friends! will be with us showcasing and selling her macrame plant hangers. Julz is a macrame artist from the 80's and restarted her craft during the last few years. We are looking forward to seeing her range this Sunday,

Leonard has been silversmithing beautiful pieces of Crystillery Custom Goddess Jewels lately and of course sourcing more crystals, fossils and stone finds.

Lisa will be offering Tarot (Rider Waite) Readings $40 - 30mins. Lisa has 22 years experience in reading, with an intuitive clairvoyant/sentient/audience style. And curates a vintage/retro clothing items and will have these on Sunday also. Also to note Lisa and Leonard will be at the Crystal Visions Market - Milford on Saturday 21 Oct too...

Leonard and Lisa continue to thank local community and locality creatives for the continued support to get this pop-up market off the ground in Riverhead. Lisa recently joined the Riverhead Citizens Hall Commitee and Leonard has recently had a resolution moved by local council to see how we can bring together and support creatives in the Riverhead area more actively. We are excited to see what is possible here.

We have been running this pop - up since July 2023 and would like to thank the local community members who have come along so far. You have been incredibly supportive, and the creatives appreciate you for coming along, buying products that are hand crafted and having a kōrero/chat too.

We look forward to welcoming you to the market on Sunday, 22 October, 8am to 12 noon at the Riverhead Citizens Hall. Look for the signage outside!

Lisa and Leonard
Founders and Organisers of the Crystillery Collective Pop-Up

Our next Pop Ups are:

Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village residents Norris and Dick have put their woodworking skills to great use by whipping up 30 wētā hotels for local conservation use.

The pair constructed the hotels using untreated wood and tools in the village workshop over several months, with the design specially crafted to welcome wētā and obstruct predators.
The mission follows on from a similar conservation effort on the Devonport peninsula assisted by residents from Ryman’s William Sanders village.

In Birkenhead, Norris and Dick connected with environmental group Pest Free Kapātiki (PFK) to find out where the best locations for the wētā hotels would be.

PFK Kauri Dieback Campaign Coordinator Maisie Hamilton Murray said the hotels would be perfect to use during the Birkdale Beach Haven Community Project’s school holiday programme at Shepherds Park and these holidays Norris and Dick got the chance to present four wētā hotels in person.

Have you recently observed your broadband expenses creeping up?

According to our recent Neighbourly poll, a staggering 80% of respondents have remained loyal to the same broadband provider for over 5 years, and within that group, a whopping 80% have been with their provider for more than 10 years!

Staying loyal could be costing you money! By switching providers, you could save over $300 a year.

If you're currently under contract, here's a tip: set a reminder for the 11th month to compare your options. This way, you won't get automatically rolled onto higher pricing. It's your chance to keep more money in your pocket!

Don't let rising costs get the best of you. Explore your options and save big - check out Broadband Compare and Power Compare to compare different plans and providers!
