I used to be in my primary school's Maori Culture Club... yes me... the only little blonde, blue eyed, white girl in the group. I absolutely loved it - especially the Poi.

Anyway, I have always loved kete (Maori woven baskets) and recently spotted this beautiful 'Pacifica' fabric in a store. I decided that there was a special lady who may also like it...

There is a lovely lady that I know who is always busy giving, giving, giving. She is so generous, often giving away gifts and money to anyone in need, or just as a blessing. Whenever someone in our family is sick, she often turns up laden with toys for the kids, yummy treats and fresh fruit.

She is a New Zealand Maori - and is much loved. So I thought it was about time she received something special... a Pacifica tote. I also thought of her because she is always losing her keys... so I made sure she had the two little pockets inside the bag to keep her keys and things in!
