12 Jan 2013 Family groups fresh from reunions were down at the market today, collecting souvenirs, island crafts and gifts to take back to NZ and AU. We also welcomed back the Invisible family - booth-regulars since day one ;). Clear skies brought the heat on early, and our neighbouring steak roll and kebab stall holders did a roaring trade. Lemons and oranges are coming back into season, picked up some fresh pesto, but missed out on humus…
Just two more weeks at the market before we take a Summer break – so come see us soon.

5 Jan 2013 A great start to ’13, as we arrived early to set up before the sun hit. We had some familiar faces in the booth, with family taking a pic. for the home kopu tangata wall/fridge collection; wedding couples; and our regular boothers bringing visiting cousins and friends for their first IB shots. New to the booth were some large family groups, making the most of everyone being down at the market at the same time. We even had our photo taken with the booth (if you have shots of the booth in action, we’d love it if you added them to the IB Facebook Page).
See you next week. :).

29 Dec 2012 Combating the strong wind gusts, and shower-proofing the booth made for a later start for us this morning. Once up-and-running, we took some sweet strips and pix. Family portraits, hot couples, and extended sessions for some of our regular boothers kept us humming. ‘Tongareva’ – our vibrant island-print purple backdrop – was the perfect accent to our new and refreshed ei katu.
A big meitaki ma'ata to everyone who rocked the booth in ’12, we look forward to seeing you in the new year.

22 Dec 2012 Our final Christmas session for 2012, just in time for junior boothers looking for Saturday morning distraction. The girls were throwing down some fierce model poses, with 10-gallon hats and trilbies the props-of-choice. We had fresh faces in the booth as Kukis come home for the Dec-Jan family reunion season. We also debuted our new fashion forward Xmas ei katu; and traded a blow-up for a sparkly blue santa hat.

21 Dec 2012 The Starlight Concert was organised by the Impact Youth group, with talented performers singing and dancing up a storm. Outside the AOG Hall, vendors cooked up tasty treats, painted faces and took Christmas pix. The tamariki explored Candy Land and were entertained by the youth leaders. We added showbiz props to our Christmas selection for that Island-Santa-on-Broadway look.

19 Dec 2012 A mini-Christmas celebration, feat. a host of performers including an acoustic set by Jaik Berg, island dance by Mii Andrew, and a guest appearance by Tani and Maiata; the evening compèred by the dynamic trio of Lynch, Marsters, and Vaiimene. A booth highlight were the karoke carols, including automated score card at the end of each track - “Oh look, I got 100, and I wasn’t even singing…”.

15 Dec 2012 Humidity down at the market today almost resulted in ‘Island Booth unplugged’. Meitaki ma‘ata to our boothers for waiting patiently while we battled techno gremlins.
It’s the time of year where people coming-and-going: visiting family; taking a holiday break; or saying a final farewell before leaving the Rock – all great reasons for getting a pic.

8 Dec 2012 More Christmas mayhem at the market today. Gusts of up to 60km were predicted – and we were kept busy retrieving photo bags and errant antlers for most of the morning. Folks stopped by for pix-as-gifts, and our range of new Picture Paradise photo frames proved popular too. The accessory of the day was the sparkling Xmas trilby. A few noothers picked up IB loyalty cards – ask for yours next time you rock the booth.

5 Dec 2012 A new location for the annual Rotaract Christmas celebrations this year, with Punanga Nui standing in for the BCI Stadium. This year’s theme was red-and-white, and boothers rose to the challenge with great costumes, pareu, hair peices and face paint. We came to the party with our Christmas props-box, including new sparkling trilby hats, elf caps and extra reindeer noses (thanks Ine)…

5 Dec 2012 …From our location near the band rotunda (old stage), we could see the corner of the new stage. Rotaract and Andersons did a great job with the decorations, lighting, and sound; and the night’s performers kept the crowd singing and dancing.
We had plans to explore the rest of the market, maybe grab a Kai Pizza, but boothers had other ideas ;). It was awesome to see familiar faces come update their booth-folio, commemorate a reunion, or take a family Christmas portrait. The night ended with a bang with a dazzling fireworks display.
Meitaki ma‘ata to Rotaract members and the volunteers - nice!
