Has anyone been to the new shop in Pomona? It's called the Hinterland Gifting Tree.

What a great store! They have colourful plates, bowls, cups and utensils made from recycled milk containers. The owner's name is Kellie. It's the shop right next to IGA. If you haven't already, have a look and say hello to Kellie.
