Kia ora Ali, Just wanted to say, what a fantastic website you have developed. Have you ever bought books from Amazon and are they trustworthy?
Cheers, Minnie
July 20th, 2008 at 10:14 am e
Also have you bought any books from AbeBooks.com?
July 21st, 2008 at 1:33 pm e
Kia ora Minnie
Yes, I’ve bought books from Abebooks and Amazon without any problems. You may not know this, but if you ever have a problem, you can ask your credit card company to reverse the charge on your card. You will need to explain to them what happened and they will also contact the vendor, but if in any doubt, they apparently tend to take the word of the purchaser over that of the vendor.

Ali, add me to your list of buyers for your book please. I went to a workshop and saw a beautiful lily made but was complicated, it had 5 separate woven leaves joined together to form a large flower resembling a hibiscus. Absolutely beautiful. Do you know this flower. I have pics if your interested.

Hi Lee
I’ve added you to the database.
Your lily sounds interesting. It would be good to see a photo as there are so many different flowers, and so many creative people about making flowers in different ways! You can use a free photo-sharing website such as www.flickr.com, and put a link to the photo in my comment box.
