Muse Gallery Cyclone Fund Raiser

Judy from Bayview - Eskdale

Muse Gallery has been donated nine framed prints by local artists: Kate MacKenzie, Josh Lancaster, Jane Gray and Richard Brimer, that we will sell via online auctions between 14 March and 14 April. Almost 100% of the sale price will go to the Fund (some money taken out for framing). Alongside this we are staging an exhibition in the gallery to support of our local artists with a minimum of 10% of the sale price going to the fund. There are over 20 local artists involved.
The exhibition opening is a free event open to the public on Sunday 12 March from 3pm to 5pm. There will be a couple of raffles and spot prizes. Instead of our usual offering of complimentary drinks we will sell tokens in exchange for a wine or beer.
Here is a link to the page on our website. museart.nz...

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Princess Alexandra Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
