Y'all know how you have that amazing, clever, creative, inspirational friend who you want to be like when you grow up? 🖤🖤🖤 One such fantastic wahine I'm totally blessed enough to count among my friends is Kate Watts and we've been stocking her beautiful hand made, fingerless merino gloves for a while now. They run out the door pretty darn quickly because they're sooooo amazing and entirely practical, useful and user friendly so I haven't had the chance to do a post on them but here's the latest shipment!!🖤😍🖤 So exciting, so beautiful, so chuffed.... Thanks Kate!! 🖤😁🖤 Scroll to the final photo to see what my choice of gloves are today... 🖤🖐️🖤. The Quaint and the Curious is open each and every day from 10am until 4pmish and if you're in, around or near Reefton - please pop in! Happy Friday friends 🖤✌️🖤
