Roaring into Halloween

R (my daughter) and I were in Paihia yesterday for our normal Friday mother and daughter day out. We popped into one of our favourite local op shops.


We admired their Halloween mannequins out the front of the shop along with bean bags for sale.


The shop is located down an alleyway with other various shops such as bars, restaurants and clothing outlets.



 We particularly liked this one especially because of the retro rainbow chairs that were also for sale.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections, All Seasons and The Weekend Roundup.

That is a fun alley, nice atmosphere, who needs giant shopping malls.

Amy, those are nice chairs for being retro. We generally don't have any businesses in our alleys, most times the whole building is used for what's up front, often a loading dock and/or for customer parking.
I looked Paihia on the map, it is way north from Auckland where we started our cruise around the eastern and southern coasts (then over to Tasmania).

We also love the greenery in your chosen alley. It is way too fresh and light to be spooky but definitely attractive for shopping.

What is it that we have to scare ourselves when the world is already bulging with frightening reality.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. 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 ...

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 .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
