Hi Goina,
The pendant arrived yesterday. It is beautiful. And today is my daughter's birthday so that worked out just right. I am sure she will love it as she does all her Beez masterpieces. Thanks once again. All the best,

Hi Goina,
I received the Koru greenstone and bone carvings.  Thanks for sending them out when you did.  I know my girlfriend will love them.  I really like  the products you have and will be purchasing more in the future.  Until then look after yourself and Kia ora! Right?
Thank you,

WAHOO!!! YEA!!! I'll send photos if it / they end up in the backsplash. From San Francisco, where it's being cold and crappy at the moment...

Good morning from a wet and windy Scotland (or land of the long grey raincloud!). Just a quick thank you for the cords you sent over. I appreciate it very much. My pounamu is now back round my neck where it belongs. Thanks again.

Dear Goina: I just want to express my condolences to you, as a New Zealander, on the passing of Sir Edmund Hillary. He definitely is in the Pantheon of great people. Since I was a child, too many years ago to want to remember, he was one of my heroes. Not only for being the first person, along with Tenzing Norgay, to climb Mount Everest, but for being such a selfless, classy human being.

I always admired his humility and dedication to bettering mankind. The world needs a lot more people like Hillary. I once met Hillary when I was in New Zealand. I had the good fortune to be invited to a small dinner event in which he was one of the guests. I had such a wonderful time talking and listening to him. One of the truly special moments in my life that I will never forget. My condolences to all New Zealanders.

A friend of mine had your very cool koru jandalz on her Christmas list. After locating them on your very interesting website, I bought a pair online. Not only did they arrive promptly, they were very well packaged. I was so impressed with their originality that I had to buy two more pairs... with loads of compliments from envious friends of course!

Goina took on the madness of the NZ Christmas post rush head-on, managing to deliver all 3 pairs before Christmas – stunning service!  And now to have won a LOTR guidebook in one of your very generous draws... well that’s just icing on an already delicious cake!  

Thanks so much for everything.  I’ll be back for sure.
May every blessing come to you and your business in 2008.  

Many thanks

Hi Goina
Just a quick mail to say that I received my beautiful twist pendant today. its a wet, grey, cold day in Ireland and after Christmas we're all on a bit of a low, back to work and the daily grind and my lovely post really cheered me up and made my day.
 
I was a bit dubious about buying a pendant online, as it was to replace a treasured one that I bought two years ago on a really magical trip myself and my husband had to amazing New Zealand. I was worried that I'd never find a piece that I liked as much as the one I lost. but my new pendant is beautiful, a darker and richer color that my old one but just as special.
 
Many many thanks and I wish you and yours a fantastic, happy and healthy 2008.
All the very best.

Hi Goina! The Greenstone Pendants have arrived. Thank you so very much for the help and speedy delivery of them. They are all just beautiful. Please thank the artist too. Thank you so much for including the meaning of each pendant as we will pass them along to each of the recipients. Also, thank you for the picture of NZ. It is on my desk reminding me of the beautiful times spent and hoping for many more in the future.

Thank you for all the help. Have a great day and when I make it back to NZ I'll be sure to say hello. Cheers,

Hi Goina,

Kia ora, just letting you know we have today received the kete earrings in perfect condition.

Our daughter, Lilla (www.bartfaililla.hu), likes them so much, both their design and that they symbolise her connection to her childhood in Aotearoa, where we lived from 1990 to 1997 (in Wellington). This turned out to be the best ever Xmas gift for her!

I appreciated your way of handling the order (contact, packaging, etc.). The site Aotearoa.co.nz is a well designed one, and has a special touch of maori arts and crafts. Keep up the good work!

Wishing you all the best for the New Year.
Kind regards,

Dear Goina,
Thank you for your efforts to get my Koru here in time for Christmas. My gift to my friend was accepted well and he loves it very much.  I haven't seen mine yet but I am sure I will love my greenstone too.  So thank you once again and have a great a happy new year. All the best

Dear Goina, Just to let you know that I received my little parcel this very morning and... the Manaia looks even more beautiful than expected - thanks a lot for it. I intend, one day, to visit this "great white cloud" which is New Zealand but if I don't ever get this opportunity, well... at least I have a piece of its soul hanging on my neck :-)) Wishing you the best for the New Year that comes. Best regards,

Dear Goina
Thank you so much for the wonderful "Molly" photo on canvas. We think it is probably one of the most thoughtful gifts we have ever received. Have a great Chrismas and all the best in 2008.

Dear Goina
Many thanks for the kiwi spoons which I have now received. They are exactly like the one we bought in Christchurch. My son will be so pleased to receive them, so I have wrapped them up and put them in his Christmas stocking. I would like to wish you a very happy and peaceful Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Best wishes,
