These make great gifts, and are environmentally friendly.

Shoppers (sizes vary) $8 each or 3x $20
You can either purchase them on the NZ Felt website under Eco produce bags, or get in touch to put in your order. We would also like to work with a few companies who would like to sell these in their stores, workplaces etc, on our behalf. So, if you are interested please contact me.
Thank you.

Are government-funded school lunches needed in our community? Experts have said free school lunches could address a "blind spot" in efforts to eliminate child poverty in NZ. To read more, click here.
Sweden, for example, offers free nutritious school lunches to children in all primary schools. Is this something NZ should be doing too? Or should funding be focused elsewhere? Would funded lunches help your family? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below.

I'm writing this vanity card at six o'clock in the morning on October 18, 2007. It's my birthday. I am fifty-five years old. I have long ago become invisible to young women. They actually do not see me. But I am not writing this to complain. I am at peace with my circumstances. The blessing of fifty-five is a libido in decline. The curse of it is that major pharmaceutical companies are successfully exploiting my insecurities. Suddenly that surreal commercial of a silver-haired guy sitting naked in an outdoor bath tub and holding hands with a naked, slightly younger woman in an adjacent tub makes perfect sense (if I had produced that spot I would've have given him a small plasma screen TV so he could watch ESPN during his hang time). I'm also mesmerized by the commercial featuring middle-aged men gleefully celebrating their ability to drink water and drive long distances (I particularly enjoy that the slightly younger women in that one are turned on knowing that their geezers don't have to urinate frequently). Anyway, it's my birthday today. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go suck on my bronchitis inhaler so that later today I can blow out the candles without hacking up a lung.
Our next semester starts February 2018. It's time to get sorted and get your enrolment completed.

What are you doing tomorrow? Why not come to the Magpie Market in the Meeanee Hall, any time between 10 and 2. There’s lots of stalls packed with great goods and lovely treats - a sausage sizzle and Heavens Caracab for a decent coffee. It’s all happening in Meeanee tomorruw - see you there
