WOW! I just received the Ram's Head Mesh bracelet and it's absolutely gorgeous!!! I can't believe how big it is. I put it on my left arm but I'm going to have to transfer it over to my right arm. I'm left-handed and I keep bumping it on everything. I just love it. Everyone's going to be jealous when I go out with it on. With all the Harry Potter hoopla going on it's just perfect. It sort of looks like dragon heads if you don't look too closely! Thanks a bunch. Kendall

I received the pin today. It is beautiful. Many thanks for your prompt shipment and excellence customer service. Glinda

Absolutely flawless. After eBay, this site was a refreshing change-of-pace, and I shall return! Charlotte was the perfect dealer. She provided impeccable service, and was genuinely concerned about my satisfaction and the safe arrival of my delicate item, even going so far as to advise me -- with the unusual, subzero temperatures -- to let the box warm up before opening and handling, so the pottery would be less fragile. I was most impressed. ~Cindy

We received our order from you today AOK!!! The Lobster claw salt/pepper set goes really well with the Soup bowl/stand we have had for awhile. Will check out your site periodically---nice stuff there!!! Woody.

The pen and pencil set arrived just fine. Thank you for the nice note and the gift wrapping. What a wonderful and friendly transaction! My main interest is vintage fountain pens and pencils, and I know that isn't your main line, but I will be checking occasionally and look forward to doing future business with you. Have a wonderful holiday season and a great 2007! Michael

I received the X-mas pin this morning and it is beautiful indeed. Thank you very much for the pleasant and fast transaction Happy Holidays donatella

I received the bells yesterday and I love them! They are too sweet and look wonderful on my tree. My husband said he had these same type of ornaments on his tree when he was a kid.....so they brought back special memories for him. I also wanted to compliment you on your packing job.....terrific! I plan to keep an eye on what you have to offer on the Ruby Lane website. Perhaps we will be chatting in the future. Have a very joyous holiday. Best Regards, Gina

I picked up the necklace and it is absolutely beautiful, exactly what I wanted!!! But mostly, I have to say I was charmed and impressed with the presentation and your note. That was so nice of you.

Have a wonderful weekend, -Lisa

I received the ink blotter safe and sound. I absolutely love it! It will be put to good use. I've been using a large, heavy, clunky brass blotter and I prefer something a little more dainty. To top it all, the coloring matches the area where I work on my bills and correspondence :o) Thank you so much, Charlotte. I will definitely peek into your shop again. All the very best to you! Aloha, Tehani
