Covid 19 Update
What a month it has been!
Due to Covid 19, the shop has been closed for the past month and we have been at home with our families. We have really missed your smiling faces and can’t wait to begin this trip back to normality with you!
From Tuesday 28th April, when the country enters Level 3, we will be able to start processing online orders once again (Hurrah!!). Any orders that come in before this date will be processed first thing.
Our plan initially is to have the shop staffed Monday through to Saturday 10am-3pm. During this time we will be sending out web orders, preparing items for contactless collection and answering phone calls. We are here to help you in any way we can, so please do not hesitate to contact us. If you are unsure about ordering online, or if there is something you have seen in store and can’t find on our website, please call and one of our friendly staff will help you.
If you opt to pick up your order in-store, rest assured we have a contactless pick up system in place. Please bring your order details (digitial or print out) and hold this up to the glass doors. Once a member of staff has your details, we ask that you stand back 2m (which will be marked out) and we will sit your order outside the door for your collection. These steps will be posted on our door.
We are also running a promotion to kick off the return of web sales. See below for details!
We look forward to seeing many of you back instore, hopefully in the not too distant future!

Feature Artist – Jane Crisp
In each newsletter, we will pick a New Zealand artist we find popular with our customers and will give you a little background info on them. This month, we would like to introduce Jane Crisp.
Jane Crisp‘s art is inspired by, and imbued with, her love of the natural world. Born in Auckland, the artist moved to the more rural surrounds of the Waikato in the 1990s, and the wildlife of the region has provided the ideal subjects for her skills.
Crisp, who is largely self-taught, has been painting professionally for over a decade.
Wild birds in particular are a major feature of her art. Living as she does within easy walking distance of native bush, birds of many varieties are frequent visitors to Crisp’s garden. This idyllic retreat is a major influence on the artist, who is at her happiest working free from the interruptions of urban life, either photographing nature or working at her easel. If you would like to see more prints from Jane Crisp, please click here.
Do you want to walk around the shop without leaving the couch? You can kind of can do that now! We have set up something like Google’s Street View but for inside the store. You can move about, look around and some items have clickable links that take you to the website for more information.

Surfs up at Pohutukawa Gallery! New in store.
New Zealand post just recently (1st July, 2018 ) increased their prices and changed how the price is calculated.
As a result the cost of sending a lot of things on our website internationally have gone up. Some have stayed the same… ish… but basically, if it doesn’t fit in a large shoe box the price has increased quite a bit.
Its worth noting that we do not charge packing or handling fees. We strive to have the price we charge for postage to be the price we are charged for postage.
Due to increased cost of postage we have had to up our free shipping threshold to $40 🙁
I mean that is still pretty good but sad face none-the-less
Well… It’s bad news I’m afraid.
Due to increased courier costs we need to introduce a shipping cost for orders under $30. It is only $5 if your order is under $30 but still we are not happy about it as we liked the simplicity of blanket free shipping. But there you have it… insert sad face here 🙁 … very good.
