Chritmas Shopping

Just in time for Christmas shopping we had another container arrive last weekend.
You would think after 11 months & 12 containers later the unloading process would be down to a fine art. Yea right! Another huge weekend by all & after many hours unpacking, de-crating, washing, & pricing we finally got there & the shop looks great.
This was a ceramic container so was full of Buddhas, garden ornaments, candle holders & pots galore.
We are fully stocked with a great range & gift ideas for everyone for Christmas.
Look forward to seeing you.

Container #8

We've just recieved container # 8. I can't believe how fast this year is going. We got a couple of new lines in.
Firtly out standard size day bed arrived. Yay:) & a stunning small cabinet.
We also got in these neat charirs that change from a chair into a small step ladder.

Not only that we currently have two containers on the water & a third being made.

Looking forward to seeing you.

THE BIG BOSS

Its the month of June which means I turn the big 3 0.
It also meant that the big boss Alan (Dad) & his wife Duyen came over to celebrate my birthday & apparently a good excuse after being open 6 months to check out how the N.Z business is running.
In the days leading up to his arrival we we cleaned like crazy & had the shop looking as perfect as possible.

Hes such a fuss pot that even when he was here he cleaned some more!

No container this month, although there is one currently on the water.

DELAYS

Sorry to disappoint but mother nature has spoken.
Due to the weather our containers have been delayed further. They are somewhere off the coast off New Zealand & are now expected to arrive into Tauranga on Thursday 13th May.
After they have been trained up to Auckland they should be delivered first thing Saturday morning.
The wood container should be unpacked & ready for viewing on Sunday & the ceramics  will be available as of Monday afternoon.
Enjoy your your weekend everyone & please spare a thought for us unloading.

Day Beds nearly here

Some of you may have never heard of a Day Bed. I know I hadn't until I visited the Australian Teak 'n Cane store in Darwin.
I would describe it as a cross between a lounge suite and a bed. Perfect for a lazy afternoon reading, or relaxing after the gardening or weekend sport.
They are great for covered outdoor areas & sun rooms, baches and beach houses.

The great news is- now that you know what a day bed is & youré really keen to come & check them out - we have them arriving in the next container.

Will keep you posted with when the containers are arriving.

Container Work-out February '10

Who needs the gym!?
Just get yourself a container delivered, then work hard all day to get it unpacked.
Here we are unpacking our first load of gorgeous furniture, ceramics and acccessories. It didn't last long - we had further stock land after this and had to do it all again... but we're glad! Each new arrival means that we can show you  more fabulous stock - new lines are arriving all the time.  We aim to keep our 20m x 30m space chock-full all the time.


that's Sam.....


I'm supervising ... well, someone has to!


 
doing a quality check as the bedside cabinets get unloaded...


After all that, just the rubbish to get under control. We have lots of wood crates that contain the larger items inside the crates... it makes the best firewood. Might list it on Trade Me when the containers are due.
