Sleepers
NZ Concrete Sleepers
I’d like to introduce my new business manufacturing Concrete Sleepers. They are a fantastic product that stands the test of time with no rotting, no requirement to paint and they don’t fade. You can also choose from a wide range of colours to suit your garden or landscaping theme. They’re easy to install and also act as a sound barrier. I’m currently custom manufacturing so the lead time is around 4-6 weeks – and I can freight them anywhere in NZ.
Our planning tool helps determine the quantities you’d need to complete your project. The planning tool is available on the website.

Height chart, Wood
On Wood
Height charts made from up-cycled New Zealand timber, On Wood is a family run business that originated from their own need.
Did you know that in New Zealand, on average, each family moves home every four years? A little difficult then to keep the same bedroom door jamb. Little people grow into big people so very quickly and now you never have to leave behind those precious records. Preserve those memories and treasure your child’s very own height chart from the UpWood height chart range.
Each height chart is carefully made with love (using up-cycled New Zealand Pine, Kauri and Rimu) from our family to yours.

Bins
Safewaste
Our wind latches stop litter from leaving your bins on those wet and windy days. The SafeWaste Lid Latch was designed with a bit of Kiwi ingenuity. It will keep your bin closed when knocked over, but will open when inverted on the automated trucks. Putting our latch on your bins will keep your neighbourhoods tidy and prevent lost litter from finding its way down the stormwater drain and out to our rivers and oceans.
We guarantee the latches for the life of the bin. If and when your latch needs replaced, return the old one to us, we will recycle it and make new latches.SKU: n/a -
Paintings & drawings
Sam Mathers
Sam Mathers is a contemporary Artist from Raglan. He is an internationally recognized artist exhibiting works in London, Singapore, Italy, America, and Australia.
He explores nautical abstract ideas within a graphic sensibility and plays with scale, depth, text, current and old media, languages, currencies and slang to create multi-layers of meaning – the opportunity for each viewer to find and connect with something different.
He deliberately creates scratches, paint drips and weather-beaten marks to add character and a natural look, while using a colour palette that resonates with him at the time.
He chooses his most popular original paintings and then makes screen prints or Giclee prints based on them.
All of his prints are limited to a small number of no more than 40 per print.

Sew Precious
My name is Sarah Green. I am 15 and live in North Canterbury. I have been working on a felting and sewing business called Sew Precious NZ these last couple of years as part of my homeschooling.
I love to needle felt NZ birds (my fantails being particularly popular) baby animals, butterflies, dolls, pendants, nativity sets, angels, 3D pet portraiture, and I sew and crochet with what time I have left. As I’m still a student, I only have time to make small runs of stock but can take on a small number of commissions, particularly in the months leading up to Christmas.
I am passionate about what I make and have sold here in NZ and internationally.
