Just wanted to say thank you very much for such a fast delivery of the Koru - and it's absolutely lovely - it will be the most unique wedding present there!!! The Koru actually arrived yesterday but I had to get it redelivered to work today - so many thanks!!

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my parcel. I am really looking forward to the Koru. Some of my NZ-friends wore different ones when I met them during a holiday in Scotland. I instantly liked everything about them. Your site just appealed the most to me. Honest prices and a lot of information. Not these screaming slogans and cheap stuff like that. Very honest and professional. Two thumbs up for that! Marcel T. - the Netherlands ~ inner koru greenstone |
Kia ora Goina and happy new year. I've just got back from the Christmas holidays and I found your CD. Well, this is the best way to "hear" from you ;-) Many many thanks from Milan. Lorenzo R. - Italy ~ te ku te whe cd |
| I have just received your products today, I am happy. Thank you and happy new year. Jochi M. - Spain ~ inner koru greenstone carving |
Many thanks for the carving - it went down very well at Xmas and looks great! Happy New Year from a cold Cambridge, UK. Steve C. - UK |
Just wanted to let you know the parcel arrived safely and in good order. Thanks so much. I'll definitely order from you again.

Just a quick email to say THANK YOU!!! I received the lovely greenstone today and they are beautiful! Thank you very much - have a happy christmas! Leehane S. - NZ |
What a beautiful necklace. Thank you for your friendly and prompt service. My daughter will be so pleased with this on Christmas day. (It matches her tattoo). Have a great holiday Susan H. - USA ~ koru bone carving |
Kia ora Goina Thank you for getting back to me so promptly. Yes, I did indeed find your site by surfing the web and (since you said you were interested) I chose it because the carvings seemed to me to be of a higher quality level than many (legitimately) available online. The carving is a Christmas gift for my best friend and I spent a long time searching to find one I liked. I grew up in New Zealand and I know that carving quality can vary greatly. In the absence of being able to pick a carving out myself, I have to rely on the photographs and on the general vibe of the websites. I liked layout of your site. It seemed colorful, thoughtfully presented, artistic, safe, respectful to the Maori tradition and to the artists, and friendly to the international customers. I also like the carving styles you have available. So thank you for providing (what I hope is) quality art for reasonable prizes and for presenting you website in such a pleasing manner. Thank you, Natasha H. - USA ~ matau bone carving |

Greetings Goina ~ Just wanted to let you know that I received the beautiful manaia pendant yesterday. Can't wait to show it off! Thanks for everything, and have a great week! Regards, Ron L. - USA ~ greenstone manaia carving |
Kia ora Goina! It arrived!!! Finally!!! And Oh My Goodness is everything gorgeous! Even better than I had pictured in my mind. I am so truly impressed...When I opened the package, WOW! The mana of the pounamu and the shell jumped up like a magical star burst! They are so truly beautiful and full of good energy. Thank you again for providing such a quality and beautiful product that represents the powerful spirit alive in all these islands that Maui fished out of the sea!

Hi Goina, |
Hi Goina, Very excited today as our carving has arrived. It's lovely and we are very happy with it. A BIG THANK YOU to you for organising that for us. Would love to do some sailing around NZ and will hopefully get some time there on our way up to the South Pacific Islands. Will let you know as I would love to come in and have a look at your shop. Keep the wine flowing! Kind regards, Sherylle O. - Australia ~ manaia wood carving for their yacht |

Dear Goina I just wanted to say thank you for the whales tail; I received it in the post a week ago which was pretty quick. I really like it; hope the man does too. I'm sure he will its much nicer than the old silver one he had. Thanks again. Kind regards Amy L. - Australia ~ whale tail bone carving |
What lovely New Zealand service! I wasn't expecting to hear back from you till Monday. Thank you for the gift wrapping and inclusion of the message. Tony is a proud New Zealander and I know he will be delighted with the koru. This is the nicest shopping experience I have had in years and much better than traipsing round Brisbane looking for a gift. Kind regards Julia S. - Australia |
I enjoy your friendly personal newsletter; it is nice of you to share your travel and interests.... Sue T. - Australia |
Pakje was er vandaag. Schitterend en dank je wel. X
