As we bid farewell to this year, I’d like to extend a heartfelt Merry Christmas to everyone, as well as to share my hopes for a fruitful and bright 2024.

Amid all the festivities, let’s spare a thought for those facing financial stress, especially in light of cost of living pressures. It’s great to see ongoing support for local food banks, and my gratitude goes to donors and volunteers at organisations like Cannons Creek Community Pantry, St Vincent’s, and the Porirua Food Bank run by the Salvation Army. Their efforts have become even more crucial following the closure in April of St Anne’s Pantry. If you’re in a position to help, your donation can make a significant difference.

Scooter

Jenny from Titahi Bay

This scooter is old, the bits that can go rusty are going rusty and the stand piece has just failed. The grips are also getting old.
But the scooter does like to go fast and I have trouble getting it to let me go slowly around the house - it prefers a zooommming mode but luckily the brake works … View more
This scooter is old, the bits that can go rusty are going rusty and the stand piece has just failed. The grips are also getting old.
But the scooter does like to go fast and I have trouble getting it to let me go slowly around the house - it prefers a zooommming mode but luckily the brake works well. I think it is time I gave this away.

The foot length on the board is 35cm (fits an adult foot)
Top of handlebars to ground is 82cm and there are still two more options for raising the handlebars.

Our Generation / American Girl doll's Hairdressing / Car Seat Chair

Jenny from Titahi Bay

Genuine item.
In excellent condition and goes up and down.
Only the hair dryer and comb still remain with the chair.
I used the extended chair in the car as a car seat for the doll. It raised her to the perfect height for a seat belt to go across her and the chair.

Price: $10

Amazing Large Hand-Built Dolls House

This would be a wonderful Xmas present!

Hand-built dolls house – this came from a craft-fair type shop in Porirua about 20 years ago.

The furniture is selling with the house – including two good-quality 1/12-scale doll figures.

While there is still some dust to clean off, the house is generally in good condition.

This is a unique work of art! Very unusual to see one like this for sale!

Dimensions: 850mm wide, 440mm deep and 940mm high (including the chimney).
It is mounted on a fixed base, which measures 850mm wide by 670mm deep – this includes the paving in front of the house. Very solidly built, and therefore, rather heavy!

There is a hatch in the back of the roof, giving access to the attic hide-away.

Inspection welcome – pickup is from our house in Tawa.

Price: $399
