30 Nov 2013 Today was Justine’s birthday, and she chose one of her favourite backdrops - Tipani Pink, however fellow vendors at the market bullied us into starting our Christmas season early – so Kiritimiti it was. We dusted-off our Xmas props and added a few new item: sparkly ties, festive shades, new caps and hats.
This weekend the teams arrived for Netball in Paradise, and the Aitutaki team decided to camp-out at the booth. Handing out photo strips was made more difficult by the girls wearing their team Ts, matching shades, and sporting the same hairstyle.
We also bid kia manuia to the last of the paddlers, and took pix for bemused honeymooners, wedding couples and visiting families.

27 Nov 2013 We spent the early morning resculpting the boat ramp between Captain Tama’s and Sails to create a stable platform for the booth. Our ‘V6 Special’ proved popular with crews - even when they were 2 short of the requisite six… We took family holiday pix, some beautiful solos, and caught up with regular boothers. Elsewhere, Aroko was ferried between his port-a-cot on the beach and aunty at the Muri Market, or joined the paddlers in enjoying a cool-off in the lagoon.

26 Nov 2013 What better way to top-off a day of intense paddling competition than with great food, a beautiful sunset, madcap games, and Island Booth! Once word was out, the juniors made the most of the free fotos. All-up,the Oe Mapu Awards was one of our fav. sessions of the year - also the debut of fresh ’drop: ‘Parapotini’ (passionfruit).

23 Nov 2013 Brilliant clear skies for this morning’s market. A few paddlers were up-and-about after early morning training sessions, buying provisions for Vaka Eiva this week. In between taking pix, we picked up Christmas gifts from fellow stall-holders and made a few more loyalty cards. We also took a strip to commemorate our aunty and uncle’s wedding anniversary.
Next week (due to popular demand), we start our Xmas season, with a new range of festive props. We'll also be at a few of the Vaka Eiva events. CU soon, J+A+A.

16 Nov 2013 This week, regulars introduced visiting family and friends to the booth. Families got in some practice before we break out our Christmas props, and pix were taken as birthday gifts and souvenirs.
Elsewhere in the market, Black Watch have some tasty fresh smoked fish packs on offer; pineapple is in back in season; and Anna’s rooster decorations and Sew Raro’s squishy-xmas-trees were in hot demand. Ani is back at the Fresh Local hut (but just for a couple of weeks), and Diya + clan are back from their travels. Due to popular demand, our festive season starts at the market Nov 30th - in time to send Xmas fotos to family overseas.
