26 Sep 2012 A sleepy market tonight gave us a chance to chat to the other stall holders. In the booth we had visiting school teachers, dancers from Highland Paradise, plus pix with siblings and family portraits. This was our last Akaoa for a month or so… Hope to be back early November :).

13 Sep 2012 The September winds were in full force tonight and had most of us vendors scurrying around looking for concrete blocks, guy ropes and splints to reinforce our marquees. There’s been a new layout to the market the past couple of weeks that makes it easier to see the foods and crafts on offer. Plenty of picnic tables and more lighting too.
A few big groups in the booth, wedding parties, holidayers, and film crew in the mix.

12 Sep 2012 A stunning evening round in Arorangi. Clear skies, a metallic sunset and a still, warm night. Maureen and fam. visited us, bringing well-wishes from NZ. Ani (aka ‘The chicken pocket lady’), had in-laws visiting and took a break from the truck to grab a pic. Some of our big prints (blow-ups), will soon be gracing the walls of a family homestead in Mangere.
A new vendor joined the market tonight, selling seafood laksa and (our dinner pick), fresh Cajun chicken salad on rice, w. chunks of fresh local avocado.

6 Sep 2012 Rain was threatening this evening - visible up on the hills behind our house, but it stayed clear of the market. As promised we had a new addition to the market tonight - Nima’s range of vegetarian foods had locals coming all the way from Arorangi. The falafel were the first to sell out, so we went for couple of crispy coated rice balls. Yum.
Highlights from the booth were solo-kid-portraits (feat. ‘Monkey’), a final photo-op for visitors catching the early morning flight home, big groups and family pix.

29 Aug 2012 The Pacific Leaders Forum saw a few market-regulars drafted into service this week - from driving to catering, pretty much the whole island has been swept-up in the preparations and logistics for the event. The market was visited by the Chinese delegation, who took in the craft stalls and Cook Islands dancing. It was a slow booth night - made brighter by a group of visitors who took couples photos for their grandchildren. We also welcomed the return of AWOL stall holders from last year debuting new products, including chilled mango and passionfruit juice - manea maata.

15 Aug 2012 For the Akaoa Night Market’s first birthday we celebrated with a mini-session of free photo strips - just the beginning of an awesome night. It was nearly a year-to-the-day since the first market, and some of our very first Akaoa boothers grabed an anniversary pic. The Rotaract team were on hand to keep the kids busy, and quickly sold out of their range of fruit platters and cake treats. The night’s entertainment included a fashion show featuring accessories by TeRa and evening wear from Te Aranui Hut. Next up, champion dancer, Mary Taio mesmerised the crowd. We were then treated to an acoustic set by a visiting performer (anyone have his details?). Finally the Tamariki Manuia fire dancers lit up the stage.
We’d like to thank all of the Akaoa organisers and performers for a great night - meitaki maata.

9 Aug 2012 It was all about the local this week. Firstly our new backdrop: Tongareva. This print is also available in a sheet and duvet set in a range of colours, and only from the Takitumu Market. Sam was roped into adding some local flavour to a visitor’s pix; we met some of Vanessa and Andy’s guests from tomorrow’s wedding; and the Peyroux family from the Kia Orana Store (our ‘local’), dropped by.

4 Aug 2012 Our final TMN session for this year. Constitution day celebrations were brought forward (from Monday), so we were setting up while formal proceeding were underway in the auditorium. Once the VIPs had left, we were treated to a showcase of the best of the TMN performances, and live music from Ru and crew.
Meitaki maata to everyone who visited us at TMN this year - photo strip reprints and big photos are available from us at the booth.

26 Jul 2012 A bonus night market this week with TMN just around the corner, TNM moved forward a week. We may have a new booth record after a three-family effort we (well, Justine), stacked 13 boothers into one strip! We also took delivery of our new hand-printed pareu backdrop, now all we need to do is come up with a name for it…
