Hayley's official website (News Page) - 6 March 2006 - has announced the launch of her first online store and it seems to be official. Although neither HW.com nor the site itself is clear about who precisely owns and runs it, we are pretty sure it's Hayley and/or her parents!  Here is a direct link to the Hayley Online Store.There is currently a small selection of goods but already, some pretty cool stuff is available there - generally at what I think are very reasonable prices. Click the link and see!  Dave |

CHEERS! (My Gift to ME...)
I've just been on a Hayley shopping spree...I bought both programmes, three pens, the paua shell/silver pendant, and the WITA poster all for £29 + £10 shipping. That's close to US$70. It will be my birthday in two weeks and this will be a nice Hayley gift to myself. I use Paypal for my eBay stuff so this was easy...thanks Dave for the link.

According to the registration of the domain name, Gerald is the owner but it's hard to say who is actually running the site since the technical contact is for a company in scotland. [snip] the address in Scotland actually points to the registrar, Easyspace Ltd  Allen |

Hi Dave, Thanks for posting up the link to Hayley's Online Store. Indeed there are some very neat items being marketed at reasonable prices. I have a 'PayPal' Account for eBay but I haven't used it for ages- I will need to reset the password I think. If you would like me to buy anything for you from the Store let me know and we can settle up later. Cheers, Andrew |

Oh boy, well done Dave!
Isn't that ironic? It was only half-an-our ago I responded to Sal (I think) regarding what Hayley's official web site ought to be doing and suddenly we have news of a new positive development. Super.

Hi Andrew, I hope the stone isn't from Hadrian's Wall!  If you call there and knock on the door, maybe you could help fill my order! I'd love for Hayley to sign one of my programmes w/ the 'Pure' pen! |

Hi Joe, It's good to hear from you Which colour of ink would you like the autograph signed in?  i.e. which colour of 'Pure' pen? Maybe we could arrange for our Superstar to attend an exclusive signing session specifically for 'HWI' members? Maybe Decca management could organise to have her flown in via a private "Hayleycopter"   Incidentally, I'm feeling rather tempted to order a few of the blue 'Pure' pens myself... They're rather lovely... along with a few more goodies from the store too! Regards, Andrew |

Hi again Joe, If you are seriously interested in obtaining a programme autographed by Hayley, I may be able to help you as I am hoping to meet Hayley in Glasgow, on April 7th. I'll send you a PM and we can confirm the situation. Regards, Andrew |

Before i read who the owner of the domain name was, i was going to say it looked like a NZ site with what it was selling.
I may get the Walking in The Air Poster (of course)

I think the online store is quite lovely. The picture on the second Tour Pogramme is absolutely gorgeous! The pens are pretty cute as well. And I think the pendant is stunning (and very NZish too, even though we get a lot of these kind of necklaces in Australia as well).
Love,
Jenny

Hi everyone,
Today I received a portion of my Hayley Online Store order! Only the two tour programmes arrived. Hopefully the WITA poster, the pen set and the paua pendant will arrive soon.
The programmes are way beyond my expectations...such lovely photos and the varied texture in the pages.
Oh, the parcel came from NZ ... the return address was a Post Office Box in Christchurch. I quite can't read the signature on the customs declaration label.
I know some of you lot own the programmes...any suggestions on making some sort of book-cover to protect the programme covers?

Hi Joe, Keeping something like that in pristine condition is never easy. I put each programme in a clear plastic pocket which, in turn, is placed in order in a heavy duty A4 lever arch folder. Then they go and produce one that is larger than A4! Roger |

Then they go and produce one that is larger than A4! Roger A word of warning Roger regarding plastic folders, especially with our increasingly hot summers. unless the cover is fully laminated there can be a transmutation between pigment and plastic--there are different types of plastic used in these folders and some are worse than others. In my case I keep my mementos loose but in a box file, including the tickets!. Peter |
