These email messages we recently received will give you a taste of who we are:

Joni!! We are THRILLED!!! The pkg arrived TODAY!! YAY!! The extra items you included for Megan are wonderful! Thank you soooo very much! I gave you 5 stars on every area...My husband brought the pkg in, we opened it in front of him and as Meg read the card both our faces lit up as we watched Megs in all her excitement try everything on! It fits her beautifully and we are more impressed and thankful for this experience than I have words to express!! =) Thank you for making our first experience PERFECT from beginning to end=)
We will definitely use your services again and tell everyone of our experience w/u!!God Bless you Richly, and we look forward to many more transactions! The purse and the shawl REALLY complete the look & can't thank you enough! Excuse my ramblings=)~ Lynda

"Hi, What a kind & lovely spirit you convey, your work ethic is astounding. I can not tell you how much I appreciate your efforts...I also wanted to thank you for the modest neckline, you have proven that one can be lovely and covered all at the same time...Thank you for your timely work & shipment. Thanks again." Traci  

Thanks so much for sending the item right away. I got it in the mail today and it looks great. I tried to leave feedback for you but I have not been a member on ebay long enough but after I have been a member for five days I will leave the positive feedback again. I wanted to let you know that as a Christian school teacher I bought from you because your post was so wonderful. I wanted to let you know that all my dealings with you have totally been witness to your faith. I needed the outfit for school as we celebrate Abe Lincoln's 200th birthday this year. This will be a perfect outfit for our Lincoln week! If I need anything else I will look for an item you have for sell. All I can think of now that I might need is a hat of some sort. I was just waiting because I think I could do without and being a Christian school teacher and not a public school teacher any money I can save is very helpful. Thank you again for the wonderful service. God Bless you, Elorie

Joni,
I got the dresses today!!! You are precious - thank you for the note, the teddy bears, the flowers, and most of all for using your talents for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ! What an awesome ministry y'all have. I cannot wait to see my girls in their outfits! Thank you for making the hems longer - they grow so fast! They will also be using the scrap fabric, just as you said, for ribbons and scrunchies!! Thank you, thank you.

Hi, I was getting ready for this weekend and I did not have all my box's open and when I opened the last shipment from you I was very surprise to see that you sent a extra skirt along. You did not have to do that...I was very happy with it and I thank you so much for being so kind.You are number one in my book and I thank you for being so kind and nice. This weekend I will be wearing your outfits and I will be very proud to display your beautiful work. You can bet I will let everyone know where to get the beautiful dress's. Thank you again and in my heart you are a true friend and I will always be watching for new outfits from you before anyone else. Bless You!! Vickie

Dear Joni,
We received the outfit today and it's beautiful!! I can't begin to tell you what a relief it was for me to see Heidi with such a pretty dress on that fit her like a glove. She put the hoop skirt on and the length is absolutely perfect! You probably exhausted yourself with our order. The little bag is precious with it, too. Thank you so much. She put on her little white gloves and the whole thing was darling. Thank you for the bath set also. She has written you a note to send. We were also going to send you a picture of her at the ball. Thank you for being true blue, honest, easy to communicate with, a Christian :) etc..It was such a pleasure to receive your special note to Heidi and me. Not many people will take the time these days. Thanks again, Debbie

(Handwritten note sent form 12 year old Heidi) Dear Miss Joni, Thank you for fixing my dress for me. It's absolutely perfect. My big sister is going to let me use her shawl. The reason I got the dress is because I'm going to a Civil War Ball. My mom is going to send you an email with a picture of me in the dress. Thanks for the pouch and shower set. I'm going to bring it to the ball with me. It's perfect and the shower set smells so good. Thank you again. Sincerely, Heidi-------

Joni, My skirt and petticoat arrived today and I am thrilled. Imagine my surprise when I opened the package and found a matching bow for my new yellow hat - I love it!! How very thoughtful of you to include it with the skirt. I will look and feel absolutely stunning at the next Civil War reenactment. I will be sure to visit your store frequently and I know I will be buying again soon. I saw that you recently had bloomers but I missed the auction so I will be watching for them again. Thanks for the warm correspondence, you are a joy and I wish you and your family much success with your sewing ventures. May God bless you and keep you in his care. Roxanne

 I received the set and was able to wear it to a re-enactment this weekend. It's the first time I dressed out and felt so beautiful in the set you made. Being a large person, it's rare to feel that way in anything, but your gown/design did make me feel that way AND I received many compliments. I loved the sachet in my purse - it just helped to make the dress more magnificent. Your work was just awesome, the shipping was so fast, and I was sooooo pretty.  I just can't thank you enough for helping me to feel beautiful!! Good luck in all that you do. Thanks again.  :-)   Debby

 I just wanted to let you know that, if I could have, I would have rated you with 12 stars! The little surprises included in my purchase (the lavendar bag and the pencil) were super! Thanks! I loved dealing with you and have recommended you to my friends who may need early American dress. Thank you again for going above and beyond! - hoho-ws

All the thanks goes to you. Thank you for trusting me enough to send the skirt in advance of the paypal confirmation. It arrived today, and was just as lovely as I imagined. My daughter arrived home and asked if I had bad news or good news for her today. Her smile lit the room when I told her the skirt had arrived!! Thanks doesn't seem enough...but..... Thank you again, Audra
I will recommend you anytime.

Joni,
They arrived at the school today======precious!!!! I saw the mourner (the girl playing the mourning wife).  I put the bonnet on her and showed her the shawl, and shirt, and she was so excited.  I never saw a mourner so happy! The Southern Belle skirt and sash is beautiful. I will use the bows and ribbons for hat and hair.  I ordered her a Southern Belle wig---long ringlets. The orphan costumes are adorable. The girls will be so happy Tuesday  when I give them out. Your work is so meticulous.  I am thrilled Joni.  I will send you a picture of the  girls, and I will also send you a DVD of the performance.  It was so nice talking to you that evening, and I will remember the concern that someone - that I really didn't know, cared so much for my daughter. Take care, and it is so nice to know that there are wonderful people like yourself that can be met by the click of  a few computer buttons.
Thank you again, Joni - Debbie

You are soooo welcome! Honestly, you are the best seller I have dealt with on Ebay, and I have been a member for ages. I really appreciate you, and your kind support. I have my entire outfit ready to go thanks to you. I will take pictures. I am sure you have a trillion of them, but I am happy to add to your stash. Take care and thanks again! Rachel

I can't begin to tell you how accomodating these people have been. I had a costume party that I needed this outfit for and I needed it in days. They immediately sent it out and I received it before the party. Thank you so much!

I got the [eight] skirts and sashes today and they look wonderful. I already left feedback but I just wanted to tell you how much I really appreciate you working with me and the obvious care you put into your work. If I get a chance I will send you some pictures from my production. I will let you know if I need to order more. Thank you again, you have been a dream to work with.
