We first opened in Point Chevalier, Auckland in 2004 and relocated to Taranaki in 2013.Our Stratford premises are open on Tuesday mornings for the public, and we open by appointment on Thursdays. Our online shop has over six thousand items, you can shop 24/7, and we ship on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With 5 bead babes at home your emails can be answered at interesting times of the morning, but they always get answered! Nia hand selects our products from around the globe, designs kitsets, maintains the website, creates tutorials and packs the parcels, sending our beads and findings throughout New Zealand and the world and finds time to do the accounts and GST . . . also at interesting hours of the day. Your support is essential to maintaining our locally owned family business and is much appreciated. Feel free to contact Nia with any queries or requests. |
