Here in Te Aroha 'Restorations' is closing down at the end of the year.
Max will focus on the restoration side of business without the rent of a commercial space.
We have even had an op shop or two close down in our wee Matamata-Piako town.
In Auckland Flotsam & Jetsam are online until they find a new premises, as that Ponsonby rent crept up and up. Visit them here -

Further down South the Dunedin shop Two Squirrels Vintage closed their doors after 19 years in the trade.
Sad to see them go.
Remember to support your local vintage or antique shop!
