"I picked up the package at the Post Office yesterday. I absolutely love the appliance covers. You do beautiful work and you were right about the fabric. I love it. I initially planned on ordering the appliance covers from a retail outlet but am so glad I ordered from you instead. Your fabric choices are so much better. I now have the 'best dressed' small appliances you've ever seen. Thanks so much."

"Hi toby, just a note to let you know how much I love the evening bags. I use them all the time when I am going out at nite now. A lot of the ladies are noticing them. I tell them I dont like taking a big bag at nite and enjoy the smaller evening bags. to match my nite dressier clothes. Also they are less space at the dinner tables and I can place them easily without it bothering my legs. So, just a note to let you know how much I am enjoying using these bags. They are made so well and beautifully. Thank you so much for creating this. I hope others will check this out with you."
~Iris, Maryland, September 2010

They loved them too and asked if more items would be coming for next year's event. I told them that I would ask you. WE are saving your Christmas stocking for our holiday auction. Thank you again for your beautiful work. I know I'll be buying items from you again."

~Linda, Maryland, July 2010

"Just a comment for you about the wonderful by-the-sea tote that you made me. I love this tote. It is so neat to look at and it looks like something out of an old sea village antique center or craft village center. I have gotten so many unususal comments about this tote. Also, it is one of a kind. I have never seen anything like this tote, and I have shopped around a lot. I have gone to sea coastal craft shows and never seen a crafter make a tote as this. You have just a keen eye for the unusual and really have a great master artist's mentality. Wonderful work! And I might add that my 3 sisters-in-law love and use their bags that you made with different sea designs, too."
~Iris, Maryland, June 2010

"That was so nice that you called! Yes, I received the cat mats on Friday. They have been broken in and are purr-fect. However, my cat thinks she should lay on hers and not use it as a place mat. Of course, I have to do as she wishes. It is now her new "snuggle spot". Thanks very much."
~Sue, Pennsylvania, June 2010
