I just want to let you know that my baskets arrived about an hour ago. I was so excited. I opened both boxes and I am so pleased and happy. They are just what I hoped they would be...large and beautifully made and very colorful. I could not be more pleased. I have told many people about your website and these wonderful baskets. -- Cathy My daughter-in-law is from Kenya and was happy to receive this as a gift. The bowl is beautiful in the sun and the fair trade makes me feel good about the purchase too. Carol
I purchased a Bolga basket and fan from you recently. I wanted you to know that it was a great buying experience from beginning to end. Your website is straightforward and easy to use. You have an incredible selection, and the item descriptions were accurate. It was difficult to decide which basket and fan to buy, but I finally made a decision and placed my order. Your status email communication was great, and the next thing I knew, the box was on my doorstep! So quick! Terry
