Hard to believe that just last weekend we were in lovely Wellington selling our goodies to a great bunch of Wellingtonians.
That Saturday/Sunday was just the icing on the cake actually of an already darn good time in Wellington. When Heather asked us if we wanted to be part of the Hands Up, we did not hesitate a minute. Rochelle & Heather’s energy, kindness and genuine interest in people knows no boundaries. They have been great to us and we felt relaxed and smiling only after a few minutes in their presence. After the intense rhythm of the past 6 months we all needed to relax a bit and come up to Wellington .
We were thrilled to see the event so well organized and let us tell you, they all deserve a long line of kuddos, and "thank yous" for organizing the event so successfully. Not only did they organize the main event on the weekend but they also helped put together an extra hands-on discount on our accommodation and yes …wine!!! Thank you girls. And boys!

It does sound like a cliche but we were thrilled to see familiar faces as well as finally meet the people behind this great event. It made us even more excited to be back later in the year for a bit of R & R and we are looking forward to seeing those wonderful people maybe then again.
The weekend kicked off with a little intro at the Hotel where we were showered with attention and wine. Every one had the chance to mingle and introduce themselves as well as get all revved up for the next day's events.
Indeed, Saturday was packed. We love events such as this because there is always something to learn, something to contribute and something to walk away with whether you are a seller or a buyer. It was like a grand big family where everyone was at ease to speak & listen. The focus of the Sunday was pretty much again SHOP …SHOP ….SHOP!! We pretty much let the crowd go lose at our Monsoon stand (!) to pick a few items to style themselves.
All in all: What a breath of fresh air! It was the best 48 hours spent before the plane ride back to Christchurch. Thank you to all the people who attended Hands Up! If another Hands Up comes up again somewhere else, hurry up to be part of it. You won't regret it.
PS. We want to extend special thanks to our volunteers Rob, Natalie, Penn and Mike who came down to the Waterfront to help with the set up of our Monsoon stand! The crowd response was fantastic and we couldn’t have done it without you !!
