Hi Carol, I received the purses.... and they are wonderful! The black beaded purse with the porcelain plaques is a beauty. I love the red beading on the very top of the frame. The porcelain plaques amidst the lovely gold beading are so well done. This purse speaks of elegance and refinement. The beaded pastel evening purse is incredible. The pastel colored beads are sewn in such a way that amazing patterns and flowers are created. The frame of the purse provides "jewelry" for this amazing work of art. What wonderful colors! Oh, yes, I don't want to forget to mention how adorable the handle of the purse is. The small flowers provide such a lovely finishing touch. And of course, the repairs you made on the two purses I sent  to you are just right! The yellow beading on top of the frame of the white purse looks even better than I had imagined. The charcoal gray purse looks great .  Many thanks! The packaging of all the purses, as always, was done with such care. Carol, you have such a talent for picking out such beautiful purses. Where do you find them all........... Best regards,  

Hi Carol, The bowl arrived in perfect condition.

The beaded bag is gorgeous and Carol was so careful to describe the bag, yet it was even more delightful to receive it and admire it. I have never collected any vintage women accessories and now am hooked thanks to Carol's treasures and their descriptions and her personal consideration and thoughtfulness.

Hi Carol, My purses have arrived, thank you so much! They are absolutely exquisite, just like in the photos and how you described them. I believe you when you say that the greatest of care and hours of work go into restoring some of these bags, I am a collector and they are the best quality purses I have purchased on the internet. I will definitely buy from you again as a trusted source if the right purse pops up, will be following your updates page. But that Degas purse is very lovely! Thank you for the correspondence and all the updates about the progress about the shipping, I found you very professional. The purses were so well wrapped. I enjoyed the entire experience from browsing to purchase to having the beauties in my hot little hands. Love, love, love! Thank you!

Hi Carol, The purses arrived and they look great! The repairs on my purse are wonderful! The sparkle of the beads and even the rhinestones are lovely. Very pleased. Also, the chain on my purse looks so much better! Thanks for your detailed attention!  The Caron bag is what I expected. Splendid sparkle of the black beads and beautiful petit point. Cute little mirror in the pocket. The packing of the purses was done with much care.  The Caron purse is a beautiful work of art . I am so pleased with the purchase of such a skillfully crafted piece. I can only imagine the hours it must of taken to make. As a repeat customer, I want to emphasize how nice it is to buy such beautiful items from your website. Your timely responses to emails and swift mailing of purchases instills confidence. It is a pleasure doing business with you.  Thanks for the lovely note. Regards,

Dear Carol, I have received the hand mirrors and they are beautiful. The hunting set is very unique and I could see even more detail while holding them. They will fit wonderfully into my collection. Hope to purchase more in the future.
Thank You So Much

Dear Carol, The two beautiful handbags arrived today. I will treasure them and use them for every special occasion from now on. In particular the French beaded evening bag is spectacular, so happy to have it. I know very well how many hours of work go into making something of such quality, so it will be much admired and appreciated. Thank you and best wishes,

Hi Carol, I'm so sorry I forgot to email you when the bowls arrived. They are beautiful and arrived undamaged. Please keep me in mind for anything new that comes in, without hanging holes. I still would like to have something in between the two sizes you just sent and one a bit larger than the larger one. Thank you!

         
Good morning Carol, All is well with the purses! They arrived yesterday. The repairs terrific, the others, beautiful. That is some repair job on the handle of the discs purse!  And the pearls are just right! I am so very pleased with the purses and the repairs.  Best,

Hi Carol, Thank you for the follow up and I have collected my parcel.  The trays are just beautiful!  Your service has been excellent and much appreciated.

Nancy H., Los Gatos, California

Hi Carol,
The mirror arrived in the mail yesterday and my wife opened it today for her birthday.
It is beautiful and she loved it.
The quality is everything we could want.
Thanks for everything.

 Bob S., Eureka, California

Dear Carol, just to let you know your beautiful antique brush and mirror set arrived, beautifully packaged and in beautiful condition!  Our daughter returned from her honeymoon and when we gave her the set, she was just thrilled.  She loved it and said she will cherish it always.  She deals in heirloom and antique jewelry so she appreciates the vintage preservation and beauty. Maybe this gift will be a heirloom of her own.....thank  you again for your tender loving care.  Hope your move is going well, it can be very frustrating, but good.  Have a wonderful day....and thank you again.

Pat C., Yardley, Pennsylvania

Dear Carol, The bowl has arrived. Thank you for packing it so well as it arrived in perfect shape. Both my wife and I are very pleased with the bowl and it will receive good use in our country kitchen. Its been a pleasure doing business with you.
Kind regards,

Ricardo S., New York, New York

Hi Carol, I picked up your package today amid much excitement. Although I am still to examine the purses in detail, I can tell you that I am absolutely thrilled with them. It's funny how, contrary to the norm, needlework never seems to be done justice in photos (and yours are some of the best I've seen). Both purses in the flesh are even finer than I'd anticipated, particularly the beaded, enameled, tambour embroidered little treasure. That purse is truly something special, and the Petit is definitely one of the loveliest I've seen. So to say that I'm extremely happy is a vast understatement! I'd also like to thank you for the very generous lay-by conditions, which most definitely made it much more viable for me to be the next starry-eyed owner of these purses. Also for your impeccable professionalism and friendly service.  Your website will continue to remain a favorite and I look forward to many more years of doing business with you. Thank you again Carol.
