Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas ....

Mary Jane from Lemon Tree Lane

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!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
