Painting Easter 'Eggs'

Here's a wee suggestion for a fun beach themed activity this long Easter weekend. We hope you are all enjoy the time off, we are!

Collect some shells during a stroll along your nearest beach and paint them up instead of eggs this year. Then you can hang them or just keep your masterpiece as an ornament the whole year through.

Happy painting!

Counting Sheep.

We've been counting sheep in the shop. There's not many of these cuddly softies (all individual and made from salvaged textiles like the rest of our softie lot), so pop in quick if you'd like one.

Revised, Recycled, Refashioned.

We’ve been working on something special. Our latest theme titled ‘Revised, Recycled and Refashioned’ features new one-off hand-made table runners, cushion covers, native softies birds and Tuatara’s, jewellery and craft. All made from vintage and salvaged textiles; they are wild and whimsical Kiwi mementoes.

Our unique goods celebrate New Zealand’s distinctive environment, and its cultural heart and history.
Sustainable production, re-fashioned elements & hand-crafted embellishment are intrinsic part of Pauanesia aesthetics.

We will be posting the new delights on the website soon. Stay tuned.










Marmite returns.

In just 6 days black gold is back! Our nation patiently waits.

Sorry for showing none!

A message (and apology) to our wonderful online shoppers!

When we took our specials off the website it magically replaced them to show 'none'! Oh dear. All the 'none's have now been fixed and we do in fact have stock off all those items. Sorry for the confusion. It's back to shopping as usual.

Thank you everyone who alerted us to the problem.
