Cindy Prior has created a home-based boutique and haven of creativity: Cindy Lou Vintage Shoppe in rural Te Puna.
In a loved and stylishly presented garden Cindy has transformed the former family garage into an Avenues-worthy boutique showcasing a collection of restored and repurposed furniture and artefacts. 
You can read my text and image article featuring the creativity of Cindy Prior and her Cindy Lou Vintage Shoppe in the February edition of the Lizard News. In the meantime, take a look at my i phone video.
Entry to the property is sign posted and there is parking available outside the store. If you’re visiting Western Bay and Tauranga take a look in Cindy Lou Vintage Shoppe: and if you’re on a “day in the country” have a coffee at one of the cafes you’ll find in Te Puna and Whakamarama.
Cindy Lou Vintage Shoppe 63 Snodgrass Road, Tauranga 11am to 3pm Thursday to Sunday. cindylouvintageshoppe@gmail.com Cindy Lou Vintage has a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/cindylouvintageshoppe/
