THE makers and merchants of beautiful things have settled on an equally delightful venue for this weekend's market.
Ataahua's courtyard will be the venue for the Circa group who are a collective of local business women who make and find gorgeous treasures from the past and offer them for sale at different locations.
"We are passionate about vintage, retro and the uniqueness of bygone eras and that is what brought us together," says member Leanne Davis.
The market day will have about 10 stalls selling a variety of items including vintage inspired dresses, hand-painted French provincial inspired furniture, cushions, handmade felt teapots, wired garden pieces, retro clothes, furniture, plants and household items.
The popularity of Circa's first market, held in June, went beyond expectations with many people travelling out to the Omanawa Hall to buy their treasures, and Leanne says the courtyard at Ataahua (Maori for beautiful) is the perfect location for their second market day.
The group also invite guest stallholders from the community to sell their treasures including delicious food and refreshments.
