WELCOME!! WE'RE SO PLEASED YOU'RE HERE!!
To all the mums, dressmakers, dance teachers, dancers, skaters and performers who are visting us today - Welcome! What a busy and talented bunch of people you all are!
You've got Roller Skating Competitions just gone in NP, Ceroc Comps and
Ceroc Dance Parties happening almost every weekend, Ice Skating Nationals
happening down Dunedin way 3rd to 8th October, Irish Nationals happening in
Paraparaumu on the 8th to 10th Oct (which we'll be at!!), Ballet and Tap
Nationals in Invercargill 15th to 17th October, Ballroom & Latin
Competitions happening almost every weekend up and down the country, still
lots of Aerobics, Gymnastics, Ballet and Jazz competitions to go throughout
the main centres and smaller towns, and that's just a few!
If we
had some Minties we'd be handing them out around about now!
And
everyone around the country I'm sure would join us in sending out
extra special thoughts to all the dear people down in
Christchurch who are so bravely getting back to square one and forging
ahead with competitions and preparations, despite the setbacks they're
currently facing. You're an inspiration for us all. All the very best for
your weeks coming up and for any competitions you'll be involved
in.
And so, for everyone out there needing stones, we know what it's like - you need them "like, yesterday"...
We know what it's like. And we do take care of all that side of things for you. The only thing we can't do is put them on the costume or do the dance for you, though we would if we could!
As NZ's #1 port of call for everything to do with rhinestones, we make it our everyday mission to solve your last minute competition stresses. We tick your to-do lists, we deliver what you need...and we do it Pronto, With a Smile and with No Fuss. We might even throw in the odd Mintie as required...
And it's a busy time of the year for all craft-minded people too...
There's the Craft Fair at Claudelands in Hamilton this week, also known as the Craft and Quilt Fair. It showcases all the latest craft techniques for every craft under the sun, not the least being quilting from experts from around the country converging to show off their wares and learn more about their beautiful and special craft. If you have a chance to go have a look at the crafts on display have a look for any sporting rhinestones and beads from us!
It's also the time of the year when craft stalls and regular weekend craft fairs begin to really get going. Our crafty clients (as we call them!) are busy stocking (no pun intended for Christmas there!) up on items they'll need to keep up with demand at their stalls.
People are beginning to think about gifts they can make for loved ones too, with suncatchers and jewellery a sure favourite every year. In fact suncatchers are even easy enough for quite young children to make, and the results can be beautiful without too much expense or expertise. Ask us if you're not sure where to start - as we say - we'll be happy to help!

Hey, hasn't the new Viva12 stone from Preciosa (Czech Republic) proven
itself in terms of value & sparkle!?
We have had excellent feedback on this new rhinestone, and clients are now coming in for it from Australia and beyond as it's reputation and popularity builds. Well worth a look. Viva12 Flatbacks Non-Hotfix.
Looking for SAMPLE CARDS? Most people find these a great way to start (even if your competition is in a few days time!)
Sample cards show the colours and sizes we do, and are a great way to be certain of the colour choice you make. This is important when you are matching to your gown or costume.
All we need is your order! We'll process it as soon as it comes in, or as soon as it's a new working day - whatever comes first - and it should be with you the next working day. Then, you can call or email with an order for stones and we'll get that off the same way too! You'll be done before the teacher can say "How's that costume coming along?" and your kids will think you're Mrs Incredible. Don't delay. Click here to find out more!
Our RHINESTONE CLEARANCE SPECIALS are still going strong...
So, for a bargain on selected Factory Packing Unit Quantities you should take a look at what's still on offer. Look here.
It'd be a good idea to write this down (somewhere memorable) ...
Our phone number changed in April this year, to 06 753 94 96. We will be available to answer enquiries personally on the phone between the hours of 8.30am and 3.00pm, NZST, and we have an answerphone where you can leave a message outside of these hours if we can't get to the phone personally.
