Piako Fete 2

The Nukes

I'm hopelessly behind in the blog but just have to say that the music was fantastic at the Piako Fete.  Check out the Nukes.

We were a little fearful when we saw a ukelele band was headlined but these guys are great!

You can see their cool Facebook song here - delightfully takes the piss outta all this interwebs stuff.


Anyways since we are talking ukeleles, I am in Fiji now. So may have more ukelele music for you soon...

And here's their Peas and Carrots song - a bit of romance to finish off with...

Piako fete Friday 15 November

We are at the Piako Fete in Matamata tomorrow - Friday 15th November.  This is Ladies Day Out.  So if you want Minnie + Ree clothing or Stephanie Cahorel ceramics you will find us at Daltons Plantation 10am - 4pm Friday 15 November.

Stephanie - welcome from the hobbits

Tonight we are staying in Matamata.  Here we are getting in to the spirit of Matamata's Hobbiton.

More colours for the new Belle Frocks

I have been cutting new frocks today. Here's a few pictures of the new colours.

I am trying out some darker colours as I think they will look quite dramatic.

The red/pink floral is from an organic cotton fabric as is the maroon one.








 

And some maybes for the embellishments but I can never really tell what's best until they are sewn up!

Where to next ...

It is becoming that time of year when you start to wonder where you are and where you should be next.  Roll on Christmas and the summer break!  For the next few weeks Minnie + Ree will be out and about:

• Then we are away for Saturday 23rd and 30th November. Yep - it's time to go back to Fiji!
  

• The Underground Market at Pataka Art & Museum (click on the link to see a map) Porirua, NZ on the third Sunday of every month.  We are next there on Sunday 17 November.
