Juniper - designer florist, gifts and gallery - by Mindy Dalzell in Newtown is one of my favorite shops when it comes to design toys, cards, bags made in New Zealand and especially made around Wellington.

Geek Freaks by Alex Leighton and Karla Hansen. I found these creatures @ iko iko in Cuba Street, Wellington. So this happens when the creative powers of an animator and artist meets the “super-sewing” Talents of a Tattoo-Artist.
You find more @ the GeekFreaks-Homepage…
