“Communication with seller was good. I missed a message and didn't get the customizing that I didn't realize I needed. Contacted seller a few days later and she was sending out the customization separately so I appreciate that. My only disappointment is that the writing is difficult to read and wish it were more sharp.”
“Beautiful and just as we discussed - What an absolute pleasure to work with the owners of this shop. Communication was stellar (and I had questions and requests - which they had no problems fulfilling). This item, along with other items I ordered, far exceeded my expectations and pictures can’t relay how beautiful and special the items I ordered turned out. Not to mention how lovingly they were boxed up for shipping. So much attention to detail from beginning to end- amazing!”
