A couple of weekends ago a lovely friend of mine named Sam had an open day for his pink church in Blaketown that he has named "Gloria" so the local community could come and check him out, the church and his art.
Sam is a lovely man who sometimes comes into my work and chats with me. Him and I like to outdo each other with our unusual and weird ear rings. The idea of the church is to encourage others who are gay/LGBTQ/non binary/ etc or whatever to be themselves. Everything inside is painted pink and there is a dressing up area full of cool and unusual clothes for people to try on.
A book reading area with some comfy couches and crochet blankets is on the left and on the right is a piano that reminds me of Elton John.
Thank you to those who wished New Zealand well for the cyclone. I'm in the South Island whereas the storm was forecast for the North Island (we are made up of 2 small islands in the Pacific Ocean). It ended up veering off the east coast so never went anywhere near us and it didn't cause too much damage thankfully. Sadly cyclones are a fairly common thing here, they don't happen all the time but we do get them occasionally.
Linking up with Tuesday Treasures and Happy Tuesdays.

I love the idea of a pink church full of art, music, and cozy corners.
It sounds so inviting!
Glad to know you were safe from the cyclone.
He has done an amazing job.
What a wonderful vision Sam had with his pink church. So interesting and colourful
What a beautiful purpose for that church. And Sam has made something beautiful out of it.
From a Dutch perspective, I wouldn't really call New Zealand small.
His church has shades of Grayson Perry. So much fun.
What a special place Sam has created and I really hope many visitors will come and enjoy his art.
I´m so happy the cyclone didn´t cause much damage.
...glorious and so colorful.
There should be more like this!
What a wonderful place for people to be themselves. I bet I'd enjoy browsing around in that pretty pink hue.
What a beautiful church and pink is my favorite color. Beautiful.
I'm glad the storm wasn't near you and that it didn't cause havoc.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. ♥
Not to my personal taste, but certainly... colourful! ;-)
