 Beautiful journal, arrived quickly. 

This is a gift for my partner’s daughter, I know she will love it! Roxanne reached out to ensure everything met my expectations.

Seller was great.

keeping me posted on production and shipping (and once it shipped, it was delivered with lightning speed). This blanket is amazing quality, and the lion design and colors are vivid and gorgeous. Beyond gorgeous! Surpasses my expectations for sure. It's to be a Christmas gift for a Leo friend. It’s going to be hard to wait, but I already know he's going to absolutely love it! I know I do. Thank you so, so much! It's too big for me to get a photo of the entire blanket and show detail, but I at least wanted to show the beautiful lion print. 💕

Celestial Feathers Journal

I am SO pleased with the 6 personalized journals I received from Roxanne. She was great to work with on the personalization, the journals themselves are quality, and when shipped each journal was shrink wrapped and carefully packed well. Will definitely shop this store again.

Beautiful Artwork

Beautiful piece of artwork on a standard LED lit stand. Really lovely display that was just what I was looking for. Love the juxtaposition of Regency class with steam punk grit.

The pillows arrived in perfect condition and wrapped in plastic. The material is very soft and the pattern is printed on both sides of the pillow. The colors are vibrant and beautiful.

Bought this for my boyfriend who suffered a stroke.

The message inscribed on this plaque expressed our feelings for each other. This plaque has lifted his spirits and every day he looks at it, it gives him the courage and strength to conquer whatever challenges the next day may bring.
