Spring has Sprung
Just like that we have jumped from our winter Festival of Christmas straight into an early spring. The very first blossom, daffodils and lambs have been spotted and even though we still have cool weather ahead of us, spring is definitely knocking at our door. Here are some lovely spring inspirational products and services from our beautiful stores right here in Greytown.

Springtime styles are dropping weekly at Hall! Effortlessly cool transeasonal pieces from Obi, Elk & Pol will brighten up any wardrobe and see you through this Spring/Summer and beyond. Lots of bold prints, vibrant warm tones, and gorgeous flowy shapes!
Spring into puzzles
In many parts of the country - Wairarapa included - are thinking about planting out flowering bulbs later this month. While your mind wanders to the late spring day when you can fill a vase with peonies, or dahlia or simply a bunch of yellow daffodils, you can piece together this gorgeous, 1000-piece dahlia jigsaw puzzle. Mrs Blackwell's Village Bookshop also has an excellent selection of garden, floral and small-farming books to help you with your planning during these final weeks of winter.

Fresh spring look at Alluminus
Dermaplaning, sometimes known as dermaplaning or epidermal levelling, is both an exfoliation and hair removal treatment for the face. For this pain-free treatment, their trained skin specialists use a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away dead, dull skin cells from the face, as well as removing peach-fuzz facial hair. The result is extremely smooth skin ready to absorb advanced active skin care and ready for makeup that goes on butter smooth with a glowing finish!
Daffodil days at Blackwells
Only a limited number of these beautiful art prints by designer Paul Rees have been printed by local company Lamb Peters Print of Greytown. Every August and September, Carterton’s historic Middlerun Farm bursts into glorious golden life as fields of daffodils herald the arrival of Spring. A festival offering daffodil picking, steam train rides and street markets attracts over 10,000 visitors to the town. It’s the perfect occasion to show someone special just how much you care.
A2 size (42.0 x 59.4cm) and suitable for framing, the print comes with a description of Paul's development as an artist. Daffodil Days is one of a series of prints featuring landmark South Wairarapa locations, produced exclusively by Blackwell Press.
