Cost of dental care leaves young Mum considering having her teeth removed.

Hello lovely locals. There are only a few spots left!

Ema Frost will be holding KINTSUGI WORKSHOPs on Saturday, 24th June here in Wellington again and 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.

Exterior window washer wanted

Joce from Johnsonville

Hey, I'm looking for someone who can wash the exterior windows of my house. I have painters in and there is scaffolding (2 storey). Seems a good idea to get the windows done at the same time. Would prefer a Saturday morning so there's no clash on the scaffolding.
