New Zealand album











                        

A few scenes here from the wonderful Coramandel Peninsular on the North Island.  The whole country is spectacular, it's hard to pick a favourite part. All highly recommended!!!!!!

Home made photo Album



This album is made by sticking 3 or 4 pages of the T,V. times together, paiting with emulsion paint and I varnished the outer cover as well. I tore the edge of the paper instead of cutting it...well that's the way I like it. The beauty is I can add as many pages as  like.   The name AO TE AROA is the Maori name for New Zealand, so called because when the Polynesians first sighted the land, they said it looks like a 'Long white cloud' which translates to Ao Te Aroa.

A pretty little chest for a child



I bought this in a charity shop, painted white (badly) and I thought 'this is just right for a little girl'. Well, the first time I took it to the sale...it SOLD! Brilliant. Wish I could find more like this one.
It has only taken mne about an hour to put 2 photos on!!! As usual Sue Allan at the other end of the phone telling me what to do. HELP....I find it all SO complicated.



Large dining room chair
