Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas ....
Along with our Christmas decor (about 30% of which has arrived- the rest still on a boat somewhere) we have received lots of new stock in the last week so it's definitely time to pop in for a browse.
Our ever popular crossbody bags are back in lovely soft summer pinks, blues and greens and we have new lightweight scarves in a wide range colours and designs perfect to add a pop of colour in the warmer weather.
We have received more of the wonderful cotton nightwear, a new shipment of the handmade Turkish bowls, new stationery and for the little ones in your life new toys, books, games and puzzles.
Don't forget you can Layby for up to 6 weeks and gift vouchers are available in any denomination.
Also Colin and Mary Jane would like to express our gratitude to whomever took the time to do a "local shoutout" about Lemon Tree Lane in the Nelson Mail.
Your support, and that of all our customers, means the world to us .. because without it we wouldn't be here!
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
