I would like to thank each and every one of you who attended one of our markets over the season, whether it was at one of the amazing local markets or a cruise ship market. If you visited from the cruise ship, I hope the rest of your holiday was amazing and Port Chalmers Artisan Market was one of your highlights.

Why I love markets

If you have read one of my previous blogs you will know I started carving because a friend gifted me some stone to carve a memorial for our beloved fur baby Lucy.

This made me realize there were probably many people just like me that wanted something special for the garden to remember their fur baby.

Below are some examples that I have done. All my sculptures have been sealed for outdoor use.

How I came up with combing my family history with my current.

Rope hanging heart with paua inlay.

This was carved especially for our winner.

Check on what our next sculpture you will be able to win!

Just put a few drops of oil onto the Oamaru stone and as the stone is not sealed it will soak in and the lavender aroma will linger for a long time. You can either put the stone in your draw or cupboard or leave it displayed in the beautiful wooden box.

The paua is sourced from Riverton in Southland and my crystals are brought from a local crystal seller. Each item has been chosen for their quality and meaning.

Exciting news you can now use afterpay to purchase Oamaru stone sculptures

It’s that time of year to celebrate your dad! Are you looking for a unique gift but don’t know where to look? Don’t worry I have you covered with our Oamaru stone range of sculptures. I have especially designed a medium size rope hanging heart which is I have discounted for this special day!

Our beautiful cat Lucy passed away in 2018 at the age of 21.

My family and I looked through many shops for something we could place in our garden for her. Unfortunately, everything we found was out of our price range.
