Island Booth at the Market, 4 Jan 20144 Jan 2014 A damp start, but once the clouds cleared, it was hot and humid morning at Punanga Nui today. Family-reunion goers returned with more kin in tow, we debuted (another) new backdrop, and most of the food vendors were done and gone before lunch. We bought smoked marlin, some fundraising passionfruit, plus all our regular fruit and vege. Our session closed with the annual-ish Meyer family portraits.

Island Booth at the Market, 28 Dec 201328 Dec 2013 Our final session at Punanga Nui for 2013. This week was all about the Fortes Family Reunion, with newly discovered cousins, aunties and uncles bundled into the booth for a commemorative foto. We also had some quick-change experts, with costume swaps, solos vs. group frames, and fierce poses.
Meitaki to everyone who came to see us in 2013, we’ll be back for more in twenty-fourteen :).

Island Booth at the Market, 21 Dec 201321 Dec 2013 Although it is Christmas next week, visitors to the island seemed confused by our array of hats, noses, antlers and festive paraphernalia. Locals were less shy, and came by for their annual family / Xmas card photo. Junior boothers roped-in visiting family members; meitaki to all the older brothers, uncles, and dads who embraced the festive spirit. We also saw some familiar faces from the Hula Mania dance competition last night.

Island Booth at the Market, 7 Dec 20137 Dec 2013 It’s the time of year when Kukis return for the Summer – we saw some familiar faces, and were introduced to new pepes. We took our own Christmas photo, and Mel and Pete waited for Aroko to wake up and take a kia manuia pic. before they leave for NZ. We reinvested our market earnings at the Jim’s garage sale, and picked up another few bags of lychees.
Bella dropped by to let us know the good news about Teuira being crowned ‘Miss South Pacific’, and the Aitutaki netball team returned to rock the booth before heading home.

Island Booth at the Market, 30 Nov 201330 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.

Island Booth at the Market, 23 Nov 201323 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.

Island Booth at the Market, 16 Nov 201316 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.

Island Booth at the Market, 9 Nov 20139 Nov 2013 A highlight of today’s session was the visiting school group from Hawera, here to find out about Cooks culture and present funds toward the rebuilding of Nukutere College and Avatea School. With a bus to catch early morning, it was a case of quick styling and fast pix. We caught up with newlyweds Anita and Keith (+ families), who we first met at our boothday last year. We helped some frequent visitors to the island commemorate their island escape, and also saw Andy whose wedding we filmed last year - back to help run a NZ Defense Force youth development programme.
