The new Greytown Store is OPEN

Very excited to let you know we have completed the move from Martinborough to Greytown and were open for our first days business today :)

The new store is opening in stages, I have set up hope & glory stock in the main space, but the Toolbox stock is still coming, hence the empty shelves on the other side. My kids area is looking very cute and still to come, the gallery, books & records room, plus the tool room/man cave at the back. These will be happening over the coming weeks, I'll keep you updated on progress. But for now here are some pics of how we are looking...

hope & glory is moving to Greytown!!!

Very excited to announce that the shop is relocating!!!

We will be at 95 Main Street, Greytown - just two doors down from the Town Hall/Library


View Larger Map

The new store is much bigger and has a series of rooms that will be zoned for different experiences. Also BIG news is we are sharing the space with The Toolbox Petone, who are opening a Greytown branch. The Toolbox is a guys paradise, a mix of vintage tools, hi-fi, coffee machines, watches etc and in the Greytown branch Sam is adding - retro furniture, lighting, glassware to name a few. It will be a great place to leave your chap happily engrossed while you have a lovely time in h&g without a bored man in tow!

All going well we will open Saturday 9th of July - crossing fingers and toes for that one as there is LOADS to do. We have been hard at work demolishing, cleaning, building, filling, sanding and painting, painting, painting......

Here are a couple of progress pics to whet your appetite.....

hope & glory adornment

This incorporates a number of different jewellery ranges.

The first is the 'fashioned by' hope & glory, this is a range of pieces designed and assembled in NZ by me! Quite exciting its by first foray my own jewellery designs, I'm starting with rings and building it up from there. Made using vintage and modern components.

Here is a wee taster of the filigree rings: (all adjustable and very light to wear)
