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!
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
