ABOUT THE SHOP

OUR BRICKS AND MORTAR SHOP
We are a team of mum (Jo) & daughter (Aly) + Jess, Sarah, Marise and Maria. We have a unique Arts and Craft store based in the small town of Morrinsville, in the Waikato. There are a number of aspects to our store that make us different to other craft stores in New Zealand. We not only stock a huge range of products for the many facets in the Art & Paper crafting worlds but we also design and manufacture our own range of Chipboard shapes, Mdf cutouts, and Acrylic shapes using our own Laser Cutting Machine! We also produce a range of unique Quote Sheets, Prints, Cake toppers and Stationery, that are not available in any other store! We have many wonderful project kits available as well as Classes which are held regularly in our classroom in store. We pride ourselves in being a friendly, knowledgeable, creative and fun ladies, who love crafting, designing, creating, getting our hands dirty and generally making a big mess when we work!

Our physical store is located on the main street of Morrinsville (232b Thames Street), it is easy to find – right next to the SPCA op shop by the large roundabout in the middle of town! Our staff are knowledgeable and happy to share that knowledge with you and do our very best to ensure you get the correct information to enable you to get great results from all your work
