Wow Goina: zojuist is het pakketje al aangekomen, dat is zo ontzettend snel! Goed zeg.....ik laat je morgen nog even weten hoe hij reageerde... Groetjes and: Kia ora! |
It all arrived safely this morning. Thank you very much, not suprisingly, it is stunning. Thank you! Kia kaha |

| Hi Goina and Denise, Kia ora... I did recieve the Tiki and the bandanna this Friday!! I was so happy with them both that I showed them to some of my friends. I'm sure that some of them as well as myself are going order items of your site in the future!! Have a very nice day, kind regards (veel groetjes) Fleur v.B.d.B. - the Netherlands |
| Goina! Hi! I just want to let you know that I already got the pendants! They are even more beautiful than on the picture! I was really happy when I discovered them on your site because I have a little story behind it: My sister gave me the exact same Koru design as a gift. But it was a fragile bone carving and stupid me dropped it. Now it has a crack and I don't dare to wear it anymore. Now I am really happy that I found the same design with a strong material, that suits me! ;o) Thanks for the fast and friendly deal and say thanks to Denise, too! Take care, Sarah B. - Dinslaken, Germany |
Thank you so very much! I didn't expect to hear back from you so soon. Thanks, again, for your help! Take care, |
| Many thanks for your service - hope you have a great time over there! Kind Regards Tracy H. - Wellington, New Zealand ~overthere is the Netherlands, we are enjoying our 'long weekend', and it's business as 'unusual'. Goina |
| Big Surprise, my post office had it in the office all this time, but they could never find it because it was accidentally hidden and of course I never got a pink slip notifying me I had a parcel in the mail. I finally got it today. I opened it immediately. The carvings are fine and the keychain too. I immediately put it on in fear of losing it. It is wonderful I love it and I thank you so much for everything, for the carvings and for touching base with me. I hope to do more business with you in the near future. They'll be great gifts to friends and family... Thank you again and I'm very excited. Yvonne D. - USA |
| Thanks for your well-wishing. Yes, we've got the pendants and love them. Thanks for the very personal and great service. All the best, Sabine H. - Streaky Bay, Australia |
| Just to say the Cultureflow programme arrived safely today by courier in perfect condition beautifully packaged complete with invoice etc. Gail and I both enjoyed opening it and trying level 1 mode 1. We think it will suit us fine. It is handy having all 3 media (interactive, audio and book) to choose from. David & Gail S. - UK |

| Hi Goina Ik heb zojuist het pakketje uit Nieuw Zeeland opgepikt op het postkantoor. De bekende NZ-envelop maakte mij al blij; en de inhoud helemaal!!! Ontzettend mooi van vorm en kleur; ik ben erg blij met mijn cadeau, en ik weet zeker dat mijn vriendje dat ook zal zijn. Alleen moet ik nu nog drie weken wachten voordat ik het hem kan geven... een hele opgave. Ontzettend bedankt en geniet nog lekker van je tijd in Holland! groetjes van Ingrid B. - the Netherlands |
| Just to let you know that my carving order arrived safely, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Have already given it to my (English) boyfriend as an engagement present. He had tears in his eyes for a while there (!), and he loves the carving as well as what it symbolises. Thank you for the opportunity to buy the perfect gift at such quality. Regards Karyn McD. - UK |
| Hi Goina Thank you very much for your e-mail. I certainly enjoyed surfing the website and will be recommending it to my Kiwi friends here in Sydney! Kind regards Michael S. - Sydney, Australia |

Yesterday I received the parcel with 'Te kete tuatahi'. Thank you so much! I haven't had much time yet, but I already spend some time on the first lesson. Ka pai! Thank you also for the paua necklace! What a nice surprise! When I came back from work today I thought I'd have a quick look at your 'Aotearoa.co.nz' website. That is about 2 hours ago.. I went to all pages and links. It is beautiful artwork and a very attractive website too! Prima!!!! |

| Hi, Just a quick note to say I received my order in good order ... I'm very happy. Thank you! Regards, Amanda W. - Australia |
| Many thanks, the craft which your site carries looks beautiful! Thank you for confirmation of my order. Very best regards, Paul D. - UK |
Hey, I got the two necklaces and they are awesome!!! |
Yo Goina and Richard, I got the tiki today in its swaddling clothes, along with your business card package. Wow - breathtaking and she's looking all keen to be worn right this minute and see the sights of California. I think it's definitely a girl :) I love the effects of the shading across the tiki and the gold marbling on the limbs. The carving detail is as striking and slick as on the tiki displayed on your website - thank you Goina and thank you Richard so much for this beautiful heirloom. It's striking. I see what I have to do with the toggle and it makes a wonderful ringing sound when it contacts the rest of the tiki! I'm so thrilled, I am beside myself. I know I'll only grow to love it more with every wearing. I have a nice soft pouch I can keep it in when I'm not wearing it so it won't get scratched up and I found rubbing it with my hands already gave it a slight shine. It's a very tactile piece of carving. I'll make sure your cards are distributed around the area - I know I will get a lot of questions about it from some of the places I visit. Many, many thanks, Goina and Richard, |
