What's happening in Culverden?

Greetings from Tininn Lodge:Bed and Breakfast accommodation in Culverden - 90 minutes from Christchurch and 20 minutes from Hanmer Springs.


Well where has the year gone?

Spring has arrived and the daffodils are out. At the moment we are having hot weather with nor westers.





People often ask about the shopping in Culverden.

To be honest we are really lucky to have the Three Bored Housewives craft shop. Everything is made in New Zealand and they have just about everything you can think of. Great for that last minute gift or a little something extra for the Christmas stocking or Birthday present.


I really feel that I can't do it justice so I will put in some photos. The shop is run by volunteers and open 10am to 4 pm 7 days a week. It is closed on Statuary holidays.





A general view of the inside of the shop





Beautiful Patchwork Quilts





Delicious cordials,jams,sauces,dips and pickles made in Waiau






Paintings and artwork






Towels, hand towels and face cloths. The ones with the Merino sheep on are some of my favourites - but there are also beautiful towels for that special Baby gift.







There is also a great variety of cards and postcards - and I think very reasonably priced.

I could actually go on and on - lovely jewellery, wooden goods, great socks, gloves, hats from Waimate and pottery.
What I will have to do is take more photos and what you need to do is visit Culverden.!!!

Till next time
Deirdre
