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
My baskets arrived safely on Friday. They are all wonderful, all of the highest workmanship. All I can say about the beaded copper basket is WOW. It is absolutely fabulous. When I hold that basket up to the light and look at the bottom of it, it looks like very fine lace. Catherine
