Good news - I received the package with the book yesterday afternoon!!! My boyfriend was very happy to receive his christmas pressie :)..... and loved it. My primary school kids were also fascinated by the book - Korean kids love Lord of the Rings. I had them believing that the ring was in the little black bag for a while ;) haha. Many thanks and hope you have a good day, Aimee

Hi Goina
Seems I've actually won something... can't wait to recieve it and get my fish hook. That was a big surprise for me :-)

These wooden bowls I've bought were a great success. I will have to buy more of them in the future, because my sister wants a pair as well. And I liked them too, so I hope they'll be in stock for a while?

Now, you have a nice day, and thanks for the awesome surprise...doesn't a thing like that just make your day? Cheers from Jeanette

Well, it looks like I won something.  What an auspicious way to start the New Year!  It's been nice doing business with you, and I love the pounamu pendants I've ordered from you in the past. I trust you and yours had great New Year. The best of everything to you, and thanks again! Regards, Ron

I received your package in the mail yesterday.  What an exquisite piece of artwork the glass koru is!  The turquoise line in it really makes the pendant look intriqueing, and helps it to stand out.  Thanks for such a cool gift...it will indeed symbolize a new beginning for the New Year.
 
Take good care, and I look forward to doing business with you again in the near future!
 
With best wishes,
Ron Lo
