Gypsy Fair

 

For the first time ever we visited the gypsy fair as it was in town this weekend. It is an event that use to be quite popular but over the years the products that are being old seem to get more and more expensive. It was cloudy, overcast and chilly but before we left the sun came out and it warmed up. Not my thing but it was good to get out. After about half and hour we had enough and left.

It is good to see the Original Gypsy Fair carrying on..but I think that there was another change of lead in the organisation.
I am looking forward to meeting some of them next time we manage to visit

I haven't seen a gypsy fair for years, I guess they don't come this way as they travel around. You got a great selection of photos.

A good place for them to display their art and craft.

Surely this must draw quite a crowd.

Interesting -- I kind of like visiting an outdoor flea market sometimes and this looks like one of those, so I am wondering if those are both names for the same thing (ha ha English can sometimes be a foreign language)! So are they really people who live and travel together and call themselves gypsies or is it just a name for a craft/second hand fair? Either way, I'd be like you, good excuse to get out, but probably I wouldn't buy anything.

I've never been to a gypsy fair. I would be interested to have a look round but probably wouldn't buy anything.

One of them dream catchers would be nice. I have dreams so weird.

Probably well attended for a provincial town on South Island west coast - I can't imagine how crowded it would have looked over here; but then the word 'gypsy' stokes up all sorts of prejudices here and it might have been boycotted....

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
