Dear Friends of Lifestyles

Welcome to our Spring Newsletter! It is certainly my  favorite Season of the year, and I even enjoy the spring cleaning component!

I always start my "Spring Freshening" at home at the front door ! Thats where our beautiful new doormats take a leading role! Choose from our French inspired mats, in rubber or coir styles. They are very stylish and superior quality, from our Melbourne supplier.

We have new stock of Ecozone Ecoballs for all that spring washing too ! There's no need For carting home all that expensive washing powder anymore ! I have been using my ecoballs now for several years and absolutely love them ! When the tiny balls inside discolor (after about 500 washes) it's time for a refill. It's very simple to do, you just need a tiny Phillips head screwdriver. If you don't have one pop into the store and we will happily refill your ecoballs in a few seconds for you.

We have Exit Stain Remover sticks  in store too for those of us who have males in their lives who have the "endearing" quality of putting leaky biros in golf trouser pockets etc !

Our gorgeous Silk Flowers are looking very Spring-like, and customers have been commenting on our great prices ! A new vase of tulips, freesias, orchids or roses really freshens up a room !

we also have a new range of glass vases ready to go, or bring in your old favorite vase and let us help you find just the right posy for it.

Those of you who follow Lifestyles at Corinda on Facebook (and thank you to those who "Like" us) will have read that our Portuguese Rooster importer has retired, and we may have had our very last shipment from them ! If you wish to buy one for a Christmas present it would be prudent to pop in now and secure it. Hopefully we can eventually source them from elsewhere overseas!

No Spring Clean is complete without replacing those tired old tea towels. I love our new sets from Melbourne, and the indulgence of a beautiful pure linen one from Brisbane's Susie Crooke with her Gorgeous designs. They make the perfect gift too.

We are awaiting our first ever shipment from Villa Maison. Many of you will know this wonderful Australian Brand ! Their water jugs, tapas plates, glass cake stands with domes, are all very suitable for our Queensland outdoor living in Summer. For the beach house they have Vintage Paddles to pop in a corner or by the pool !

To freshen our Spring wardrobes ,we have all our Spring/Summer French Country nighties and PJ's. Two of our styles are featured in August and Septembers "Country Style" magazine.

We also have little girls nighties sizes 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 years. Some are matching with Mummy's nighty ! Very sweet prints too.

The clever girls at Louenhide bags have surpassed themselves this year! The colours of their handbags this Spring are glorious shades of fuschia, peacock blue, jade, pistachio, orange as well as the usual chocolate, cream, caramel, etc. Many of our beautiful Spring scarves co-ordinate really well with these handbags too, and make a Great add-on gift!

To help with your Christmas budgeting we are happy to layby any of your gift choices, and now is the perfect time with only a few months to go. We have a beautiful selection of cards available and as usual we will gift wrap all your presents in the paper of your choice.

We have posted some updated photos of our new stock arrivals on the website for you to view. Please phone or email us if you have any queries or questions.

We wish all our customers a very happy Spring and Summer !

Geraldine And all the Lifestyles Girls
