Secondhand Rose


Another one from Kohukohu. I just love second hand shops and spotted this one along the main street deciding to have a look inside. Usually I always come out with something but this one didn't have anything I was interested in.

Linking up with Our World Tuesday, Tuesday Treasures, Through my lens, My corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

Perhaps nothing of interest inside currently but certainly interesting on the outside. :)

I love "Op" shops. Kerikeri usually has some good ones.

Just catching up with your recent posts. I absolutely loved Matakana. I recall the village band playing at the market. I think I blogged about it several times. I must return to my New Zealand blog for a catch-up and reminisce.

Cute. We saw a second hand shop in UK called "Junk and Disorderly"...

A nice wee building. Those shops are interesting places to check out. We get lots of our books from charity shops.

I have to get into the habit of visiting second hand stores! I just never seem to find anything I want.

I would be tempted to visit here as well. Maybe next time you will find something that is calling you to take it home with you :)

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
