Peter is helping us out with something that nearly everyone can relate to – dealing with the unsorted photos taking up space on your phone or languishing in boxes in your home.

“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.

Boxes of unsorted photos can feel overwhelming to organise so they often get left for many years to clutter up our houses. In addition to this, most of us have smartphones that make it easy to take photos anywhere, so pretty soon our digital photo life becomes cluttered too.

New bylaw needed?

Rae from Maungaraki

where Council/Developer bylaw or regulation breaches cause hazards such as steep, unretained, tree stripped properties, or infrastructure damage; causing them to slip down or flood onto existing properties, requiring clearing, demolition and/or restoration, that neglect and/or breach of regulations… View morewhere Council/Developer bylaw or regulation breaches cause hazards such as steep, unretained, tree stripped properties, or infrastructure damage; causing them to slip down or flood onto existing properties, requiring clearing, demolition and/or restoration, that neglect and/or breach of regulations should be remedied at the expense of developers/owners; if not the Councils.
As many current properties from hilly suburbs like Korokoro, Maungaraki, Belmont, Harbour View etc will be at risk from new developments that have not met bylaws and/or regulations I think we need a campaign to ensure bylaw protection from both Hutt City Council, Wellington Regional Council and Wellington Water. What do you think?

Hi All
If you or you know of anyone that would be interested in trying Kintsugi please forward this on to them. Ema Frost is one of my clients and a fabulous and talented being whom I want to support.

KINTSUGI WORKSHOP THIS MARCH

Re-use, Re-Purpose, Beautify with Gold!!

Hello Lovely locals. Come along and learn this wonderful technique.

Ema Frost will be holding KINTSUGI WORKSHOPS on Saturday, 16th & Sunday, 17th March here in Wellington again at Toi Poneke and Whirinaki Whare Taonga. She has limited spots available so make sure to book in early.

Have you ever wanted to try Kintsugi.... It's an ancient Japanese art form where you fix broken pottery with gold - making its imperfections its beauty. - A truly wonderful philosophy to live by.

If you are interested please go to: tinyurl.com...

I'm sure there's a few of you out there that have been saving a broken piece not knowing quite what to do with it, and if not Ema has plenty of back ups. So just bring yourselves and have some fun. Bring a friend and make some Kintsugi magic together.
