Hello Verdant & SCC List,
|
|
We can reopen!
How are you all doing in your bubbles? Hasn’t 5 weeks gone by quickly? I had a feeling it would, with a long list of things to do. But with a 4 year old about, not many things on that list have been completed,
I did manage to make a sourdough starter from scratch! And succeeded in making one a loaf of bread, and lots of quick to make sour-dough crumpets. The rest of the time in Lockdown has been spent helping on 4-year-old craft projects, fixing up shop fittings, and entertaining the 4 year old.
As well as trying to get the new shop in order, the team has also spent some time putting new products on our website. This isn't a quick job, so bare with us, while we slowly take photographs and add them! But you can now shop for more products and fabrics online. You can have these couriered direct to you, or you can pick up contactless-ly at our new shop on Aro St.
Contactless pick up and reduced hours.
During Alert Level 3 we are open Wednesday to Friday 9.30am - 3pm.
We have set up a pick-up area just inside the door of our new shop, where you can collect your items or even fabric samples. We will prepare your items for you safely, using gloves and masks, and appropriate sanitation. Just let us know what time you will come so we know you are coming, and to ensure we haven't popped out to grab a coffee.
When you arrive, knock on the door and step back 2 metres, We will open the door for you.
If you are collecting something, as per NZ Government requirements for contact tracing, we will need to take your details when picking up.
Consultations
Currently, during Alert Level 3, we can not offer one-on-one in person consultations.
However, as our team has been adding lots of new products to our website you can browse online. Give us a call or email and we can put samples aside for you to pick up. When we go to Alert Level 2, Janette can come and do a final measure for you (if you are in Wellington) Feel free to call Janette (Wednesday - Friday) to have a chat also about your requirements. 021 129 2945
For pricing, Janette can talk you through doing a rough measure of your window, or piece of furniture for upholstering.
South Coast Collective News
Talking of making bread earlier, in South Coast Collective news; Rosey has been spending her time in Lockdown making some beautiful new bread dishes so you can have a go at making your own. You can buy these online, or take a look at them through our shop window!
Our new address is 93a Aro St, Aro Valley, Wellington
Take care out there.
From Janette & the team at Verdant & South Coast Collective

Nature Wallpaper
Wallpaper has not been an item we have managed to source that fits our ecological ethos in recent years. It is now full of vinyls and synthetics. Even the wallpapers that look like paper and call themselves ‘Eco’ in fact contain Polyester. It makes it much easier to hang, but what happens when you tire of it? You can’t compost it or burn it, so off to the landfill it goes.
|
|
|
We finally have found a NZ printed wallpaper that is actually paper. No synthetics in the backing. . Paperhands hand screen print their paper in their Wairarapa Studio.

Hills of Home
Roman Blind in Hills of Home. This is a great classic that has been around for over 8 years.
We don’t tend to follow the ‘latest trends’. Custom made Window treatments are expensive and are an investment in your home. So you don’t want to be replacing them every couple of years because they look out dated. We think this NZ printed Belgium Linen does the trick!

In-home consultations
Are your curtains in dire need of replacing, or do you have a piece of Grandma's furniture that needs bringing into the 21st Century?

Recently we have been looking at our online presence and realised we have very little Google or Facebook reviews. Can you help us by spending just two minutes of your time to write one for us?
You may have given us a glowing reference or testimonial already, which may already be on our website. But in this day and age of the minefield that is the Internet, apparently this is what we need!
We appreciate your time is precious so if you do write a review for us we will give you a little reward. 10% off any already made item online or in store. **
You will need a Google account (ie gmail address) or a Facebook account to do this.
