Well I didn't post last week, sorry. We had a great day at Onerahi market.

The cookies are going so well, we are going to do it all again this Saturday.

As well as the usual line up, we will also be adding lollies cake to the mix.

For your gorgeous kids clothing and scrumptious cookies and jams, come and see us at the Rhonny-Lee Designs gazebo from 8am this Saturday

We have been organizing some interesting changes within Rhonny-Lee Designs .

As you know we have been absent from the markets for a while lately this being due to my health issues and the just genuinely grotty weather. With this in mind, and the fact that without a greenhouse I have been unable to get any plants started in the last couple of months, we have decided that Sarah Emanuel with Sarah's Hypertuffa, will be taking over the Potted colour and Vegetable plants side of the markets for the next few months for me so I can concentrate on other endeavors. Sarah will have a gorgeous array of potted colour and seedlings available from next weekend, 30th and 31st, at the Reyburn House and Parua Bay markets. She is keeping her pricing to that which I would have had going at the moment, so you will be guaranteed a very good deal.

In the meantime I have got a temporary food license so I can start making and selling cookies, slices and cakes along with my usual array of children's wear and handcrafts. This Saturday, at Onerahi market, I will have yummy cookies, slices and jams as a first run of this new idea. I will be donating the profits from these to Maunu Gold hockey team.

Come along and try these mouth watering delites, yes I used to own a Cafe and 25 seater restaurant along side my takeaways and have also done alot of catering, so I can cook.

I have also attached a photo of part if my new exercise and health regime, namely helping walk a pair of the most beautiful Staffies you will find in Whangarei, just to show off a bit.

See you this Saturday at the Onerahi market from 8am to 12noon in the Rhonny-Lee Designs gazebo

I am aching in every joint in my body, and I'm still not finished rearranging the house.

We won't make it to the market tomorrow. Someone forgot to put the money aside from the bills for the petrol this week. Obviously it was Peanut as I would not be so crazy as to forget about something as important as filling the petrol tank up. As his punishment, I am banning him from using the van this week.

Remember you can still come up to 46 Vale Road in Riverside and get your plants, Children's wear, handcrafts and one of a kind artworks from Rhonny-Lee Designs. Just look for the sign in the carpark and walk down the path toward the nursery. We are easy to find and Peanut will usually be waiting to greet you.

I hope everyone is having a nice and thoughtful ANZAC Day. It's a day for reflection and honouring those who fought and died for our freedom.

Peanut and I are just having a quiet day at home going through old family photographs.

There was no Onerahi market today, but you hopefully checked out the farmers market this morning in town.

We will see you next Saturday at Onerahi in the Rhonny-Lee Designs gazebo, unless it is raining too much and then we will be inside the hall.

The markets won't be happening for us this weekend I'm afraid. You know when you start that job at home that you can't leave in the middle of, we'll I've got one at the moment.

We will be back in the beginning of May, (as there is no Onerahi market on Anzac day).

Keep a look out for the Rhonny-Lee Designs gazebo

There is no Onerahi market tomorrow, Saturday, as someone else has booked out the community centre.

We were going to look at doing another market this weekend instead, but there is a little thing called a cyclone coming, so we have decided to batten down the hatches at our little nursery and stay at home.

We will see you next weekend, 18th, for the usual Onerahi market with Rhonny-Lee Designs. Stay warm, dry, and safe this weekend.

The weekend is coming and I hope the weather will be kind to us. We will be at Onerahi market as usual.

We have decided to jump on the Art Beat band wagon and are going to bring some of our original art pieces. These have only ever really been displayed when we had the shop. As it is Easter we will have all canvases at 1/3 off. That's better than 30% off.

We will also have a few of the plants but are limited as to how much stock we can fit in the van.

See you at Onerahi from 8am to 12noon this Saturday in the Rhonny-Lee Designs gazebo.

My phone hasn't been working for the last couple of weeks, but we are up and running again. This weekend we will be doing the Onerahi market as usual. It will be foggy in the morning, so watch your following distances if you are driving there.

We will have our usual array of plants. The petunias are looking pretty and the "dwarf" beans are looking decidedly tall. It seems the seeds I bought weren't what they said, so my dwarf green beans have grown into climbers. The ones I planted for us at home are now over a metre tall and still growing. You just need to put in a climbing frame or Tee-pee for them.

We will have the jerseys out for the coming cooler days as well.

See you at the Rhonny-Lee Designs gazebo from 8am Saturday

End of the week and back to the old routine all be it very late tonight. We are only doing one market this weekend and that is ..... Onerahi market, tomorrow morning, Saturday.

We will be there rearing to go from 8am to 12noon.

We are that excited we haven't even bothered to load the gazebo into the van. We are only doing plants tomorrow, so will just be setting up tables and the usual upside down crate display stands.

See you there in our usual spot, (as long as no one else gets it before we arrive). Come and say hello at the Rhonny-Lee Designs stall.
