• "You must see the lasered acrylic coasters, clocks, puzzles, picture frames, trophies and engraving on site this weekend....all made by Geoff Cane. Aileen Coleman will be selling her amazing hand puppets, soft dolls, camels and draught stoppers.....and for these cold winter days Sue Roberts has beautifully designed and colourful mohair cardigans. Hand woven bags by Kathryn Potter are as attractive to the eye as they will be to the receivers of such delightful gifts. As always we have quilts, Kiwiana, jewellery of outstanding quality and gifts and souvenirs. Browse in the warmth of our welcoming crafters and inside venue....the heaters will be on."

• "Have you discovered Bruce Kendall's laser-etched or paua inlaid kauri and rimu woodcrafts at the All Saints' Indoor Craft Market? His beautifully crafted, lightweight products are popular with travellers and with those posting gifts overseas. Bruce is one of many of the market's craftspeople offering quality New Zealand made handcrafts - stunning bags created from old jeans; appliqued growth-charts; bridal tiaras; ceramic, crystal and paua jewellery; kiwiana; toys and novelties; knitted, sewn and quilted crafts; and much more. This market is well worth visiting. All stalls are indoors, away from the wind and rain, and vary each week. Some space is still available, so if you're arts and crafts inclined, give convenor Ruth Hammond a call on 535 7513 to enquire about selling your wares."
