Last week Paintvine launched their first event in Blenheim, hosted by Wither Hills - it was epic! I had the pleasure of leading the event!

Our new Blenheim team will jump in for our next event in December at the Vines cafe.

Hands 🙌 up if you are in Blenheim!

Currently sipping on a Pinot Gris from Wither Hills, highly recommend! Although we have an early start tomorrow as we make our way back to Rotorua.

Marlborough, NZ you have been wonderful!

🎨 Big news — I’m now the proud owner of Paintvine! 💛

It’s been almost 7 weeks since the changeover (yes, I said “watch this space” — but I’ve been a little busy running the show!). From Lead Artist to Owner, it’s been a whirlwind of creativity, learning, and excitement.

A huge thank you to the previous owner for building such a beautiful foundation for Paintvine — I’m so grateful for the chance to continue their legacy and bring even more art and joy to our community.

Here’s to new beginnings, big ideas, and lots more painting, sipping, and laughing ahead! 🥂✨

The coffee gods are against me this morning.

Make coffee, leave to brew, too cold re-heat.
Get distracted with lunchboxes, washing etc coffee too cold re-heat
Finally go to drink coffee, dog hair on the rim, flick off, hair in coffee …

FARK!
