New Member Added - Tarah from Starry Products (Wellington)

Hi my name is Tarah and I run Starry Products. It started as just me selling second hand stuff from home on trade me. Now it has grown into a passion, buying brand new stock and selling here. I am selling primarily baby and kids shoes, clothing and accessories for men, women and children, and phone covers :)

I am finding real joy selling items online and at stalls. I think this also works perfectly with my growing family :) I have 1 2 and 1/2 year old boy and an almost 1 year old girl. I am able to bring them into my business as models. I can work online whenever which is perfect. I aslso have a great support system in the form of my fiance, Steve, who helps with posting errands, and buying stock. I also get this amazing sense of pride about what i'm selling and working with customers.

Hi my name is Nikki, I live in Tauranga and am a stay at home mum to two kids, Amber (1) and Dexter (3.5)

I recently launched AmbiDexi as a creative outlet, I was always starting projects and never finishing them, but tutu's I found I could do one at a time, in a style I liked and never got bored. So I started making them as gifts for friends, then put an offer out to a lovely group of ladies, and then from there, AmbiDexi began and I haven't looked back!!

Over time I will be adding jewellery and millinery creations, so keep an eye on the Facebook Page for new things to come!

I am a stay at home mum of three beautiful girls aged 3, 2 and 7 months.  I have recently opened Rae Baby, an online shop, selling designer infant and children's clothing with a focus on organic fabrics, fair trade, and style!  I am a teacher by trade but wanted to spend the preschool years with my children so embarked on the journey of starting my own business and hence www.raebaby.co.nz was born.  There have been a lot of learning curves and apprehension along the way, as there is with any risk, but I have always wanted to do something for myself and being on maternity leave has given me that opportunity. 

My company is based on the belief that here in New Zealand we should have the same access to products available anywhere else in the world. We source products from various countries to ensure that we follow international trends whilst supplying quality, enduring clothing and accessories for infants and children.

Created by a Mother, Formed by Master Craftsmen...

When I was pregnant with my second child I began thinking of a way to outwardly symbolise my love for my children. Many people today purchase jewellery to mark the birth of a child and the incredible love they feel for them, but I wanted something that would more personally represent my daughters and my bond with them. I had a scout around the Internet and could not find any quality jewellery that met my needs. Slowly an idea began to form, and when my youngest was about four months old I scribbled down my idea and approached a manufacturing jeweler to have the first LoveLoops made. My plan was to see what kind of reaction my own Loops received from other Mums, and then perhaps to develop, brand and market my gorgeous product... and well here we are!

It is important to me that LoveLoops are top quality, a real piece of jewellery, and that's why I have them crafted by a Master Manufacturing Jeweller in solid Sterling Silver and solid 9ct Gold. It took some time to find an engraver who could put up with my fussy perfectionism. The engraving is done by computer, but with quite a lot of human input, as it is rather tricky to get the curve exactly right.

The symbolism of the Loop really is perfect for representing the love and the bond between mother and child. It carries forth from the connection we have in the womb; the way Mother and Child are linked in the womb is represented by the way the LoveLoop encircles and links directly over the chain. The Loop also represents the circle of life, the bringing into the world of a new generation. The Loop has no beginning and no end, but goes on forever like the love we feel for our child whose name is inscribed on the Loop. The symbolism of the Loop is deeply meaningful, which makes LoveLoops feel, as well as look, brilliant to wear.
