The pendants are beautiful! They came this morning!!! You are an angel to make this happen, and I am excited to place more orders with you. Can you please keep our credit card number handy, because we will be ordering in the next few weeks! How do you say thank you in your language?
And God bless you, Gwen K – USA ~ 3x matau2L bone carvings ~ 'thank you' in Maori language is “kia ora". Kia ora can also mean: "hello", "greetings", ‘'cheers" |

| Dear Goina;

Kia ora Goina, Just sending you a couple of TJ's 21st photos, we all had a great time & everyone loved his waka hoe, even his real ocker cousins. Dont be suprised if you get more enquiries from this neck of the woods. Talk to you soon. |

Kia ora Goina, I received my jades yesterday, they are beautiful! So thanks, today I gave one to a friend of mine, and she loves it! I understand that a greenstone is best to be a gift. My compliments, one of the reasons I choose for your company is because you show the jades AND the meaning of them; many websites I found, didn't gave that information, which makes I more difficult to choose the good greenstone. And it's easy to see what they cost, not only in NZ$ but you can easily see what it cost in Euro ore US$. I am happy I've chosen for Aotearoa.co.nz... and what a good name, for a NZ/Maori/stuff website... Sweet As! Thanks, a happy customer (Pakeha) Marc Cappetijn - the Netherlands ~ greenstone korutwist, greenstone koru |
Hi Goina, just a short note to say that I've been over to pick up the brooch, Linda phoned me just as I got home from work ( good timing ) to say it was there and she would be there for another hour, so my husband and I looked at one another and said what to heck jumped in the car and off we went, Linda said she would wait until we got there. You are very very lucky as I said before to have such lovely people looking after your business in more ways than one and I must say the silver fern brooch is what I thought it would be beautiful just what I wanted and my Mum will just love it. Thanks again for the wonderful service. Kind Regards Yvonne Davies - NZ |
Kia ora Goina, |
Kia ora Goina The carvings arrived yesterday. They are really well done. The colour is good, the quality is very good, and that you were able to get them here on time is truly appreciated. I've shown them to a couple of friends here, and they were impressed. So I've given them the cards you sent along - that's a nice touch too.Thanks very much for the effort and the good work.

The parcel arrived on time, and it was a great surprise for my wife's birthday. |

| Aloha, The backpack has finally arrived. It is quite beautiful. Thank You, Christy P. - USA ~ Maori pikau (backpack) |
Hi Goina I just wanted to say thank you again for the mask, it arrived yesterday and is the exact one I wanted. Hope you had a great time in the Netherlands.

Kia Orana Goina, Just to let you know, the pendant arrived, and it is gorgeous. I gave it to my husband (at that stage my husband-to-be) on the morning of our wedding, he was very happy with it. He wore it that day on the beach in Rarotonga where we were married, and it looked great. Thanks again for your help in getting this delivered promptly before our departure from NZ. Regards Tanya & Darren Green - NZ ~ koru twist greenstone carving |
| Dear Goina, Melissa opened her gift today and was delighted, I just wanted to say thanks for making her day special and for making it all easy and enjoyable for me to spoil her even though we're so far apart. Take care and best wishes for your business. Philippa B. ~ memory stick by Ian Blackwell |

Kia ora Goina, Thank you for your time in dealing with this, good doing business again. Look forward in receiving the carving as I always do, quality counts.
