Customer Feedback
This is the beginning of my Customer Feedback page. It never
occurred to me to save every email that I receive about the designs
that folks purchase from me. It saddens me to know that so many
lovely comments have been made and I never kept them, except in my
heart. :) Oh well... So, for now, these are what I have to add here
and little by little I'll add more. :) I hope you enjoy this page.
If you should ever like to have email references from these who own
my work, please let me know, and I'm sure that they will be happy to
talk to you. :)

Hi Laurie,
Today is a good day to have a LGD treasure box arrive. The mail
carrier was most welcome. The bracelets are all beautiful. And the
differences among the three are really fun and exciting. The Flying
High bracelet is perfect. Your choices of components (turquoise,
dark
teal, butterflies etc.) are ideal. I imagine that particular
butterfly that has dark teal and turquoise wings outlined with the
dark color. The butterfly that changes color in different
lights--so
magical. The Summer Love Bracelet has great design detail on the
lampwork beads. Again your choices of crystals and silver is super.
You find the most wonderful shapes of silver beads. What are the
little frosty pale pink beads--are they quartz? And the frosty AB
rounds and donuts on the Flying High bracelet? I love them. The
Summer
Fun (Unseen) beads are so whimsical. The pink and green is
delightful. As always, there are so many adjectives when speaking
of
your work, but they just kind of flow out--can't help. I totally
love
the bracelets I have from you. Thank you so much.
Have a great weekend. I look forward to more treasures.
Hugs,
Florence

Hello again. The earrings arrived today safe and sound. I have my
warm tone earrings on right now and they are fabulous. Of course I
had to sneek a peek at the cool tones as well :) They will make
perfect gifts tomorrow night - I couldn't be happier! Thank you
again for the fantastic service, communication, and packaging. Have
a wonderful weekend. Cheers, Nicole.

Hi there!
It was Christmas at my house yesterday! Both packages arrived
yesterday, and it couldn't have been better timed. I'm in my
last week of teaching summer school, but I also started my
masters program and feeling a bit overwhelmed to put it mildly.
The first class that I have to take for the masters is a
computer class, and I am not a computer person in any way,
shape, or form. So the packages were a great distraction.
You are unbelievable. I can't express how beautiful everything
is. I just love the watermelon bracelet and the other
bracelet. I can't decide which pair of earrings to wear today.
I am so happy with all of it.
Also, the new listing from yesterday was just gorgeous! You
need to stop the insanity! I have a list of wants that
continues to get longer and longer with the more I buy from
you. I think I love "boro" beads. Those earrings from
yesterday's posting are looking mighty pretty....
Talk to you soon, I need to get ready for YUCK - summer school.
Tammy
Added from Laurie: Tammy ended up
purchasing the Inspire earrings, by the way, and LOVES them too!

Rebecca
Hi Laurie,
Well, I received the bracelet, and to tell
you the truth I'm at a loss for words. I arrived home after
having what I thought to be one of the best days I've had in a
long, long, long time. I saw the package sitting off to the
side of my porch. I rushed to it with excitement and
anticipation. I picked it up and walked inside. I set in on my
kitchen table, went to the kitchen drawer for a knife to open
it, and cut the tape. I opened it up and saw the purple
tissue. I so wanted to have my childhood excitement last just a
little longer, so I took the box in the living room and sat
down. Slowly I opened the tissue to find another box. I opened
that box to find more tissue. Carefully I unfolded it and found
the little treasure bag ... my eyes wide like a little girl on
Christmas. I opened the bag and reached inside. And then,
holding it in the palm of my hand, it was nothing like what I
had expected. It was oh so much more. I inspected every little
bauble and bead starting with the dragonfly, then the little
green flower with the sparkling little crystal in the center all
the way down to the silver watermelon seed to the heart with
your initials to the toggle hoop with the little flower. I put
it on and it fit perfectly.
I applaud you and your talent of creating
such beautiful jewelry. I did find myself giggling when I put
it on. Thank you so much for creating my special bracelet. It
is and will remain my most special piece of jewelry. I will
wear it and love it and some day pass it on to my daughter and
hopefully she will have a daughter some day for her to pass it
on to.
You're the best. You've made my best day
better than I thought it could get!
Happiness and love to you!
Rebecca.
From Jenifer
Dearest Talented Amazing Gifted Laurie! I understand so fully
now why Suzi is such a fan of you. I have visited
the webpage you created for
"Isn't She Lovely"
a hundred times today, including just 15 minutes ago! In effort
to share my joy, I have sent links to just about everybody I can
think of and to some twice! Each time my eyes well up with tears
of heartfelt gratitude and overwhelming awe. It is so very
lovely to read what you wrote of a woman I have adored all my
life, to see that my eyes are not biased but that she simply
is wonderful.
I don't know how to find the words to articulate how in awe I
am of your ability to so accurately capture the essence of
someone's spirit in your work. You have an amazing eye for
detail. Your taste is impeccable. Your standards are above
reproach. What's more, you are SO approachable, so open,
heartfelt, welcoming and patient! Oh! how patient you
were with my questions! I am so grateful to you for owning this
work as passionately as you do, for taking to heart each piece
and its creation. I get all goose-pimply and my eyes well up
once more when I think of the moment she sees this piece you've
created just for her...a "(sniff) Tissue, please!" moment, I
assure you, followed by blubbery words no one will be able to
comprehend. And in that very moment, transcending the thousands
of miles that separate your corner of the world from ours, your
presence will fill the room...
I have no doubt that your work - your thoughtful approach to
each piece, to each customer both known and unknown - has the
potential to heal a wounded spirit. I believe that you create
not a piece of fashion, but heirlooms - pieces which will own
many stories of the lives they belong to and will carry on for
generations. Twenty years from now, a young woman will be
rubbing between her thumb and index finger a long-ago carefully
selected bead attached to the body of one of your bracelets, all
the while thinking of the beloved woman who passed it along to
her. She'll think of her grace, her strength, her femininity and
she'll be brought back to center. Your work is eternal, no doubt
becoming a touchstone from one generation to the next. And that,
dear Laurie, is indeed so very lovely.
Blessings,
Jennifer

From Tina
I have a break later, and will write, but Laurie, honestly, I
have never seen anything more beautiful in my life. I was
breathless as I opened each one and sat in utter amazement when I
looked at the set. ~ Tina
From Caryn
..I wanted to let you know I received my box and as always,
I'm so very, VERY pleased. Thank you kindly for the cell phone
charm...what an adorable idea...I just love it. Did you make the I
WILL LOVE you bracelet JUST FOR ME? Reminds me of my honeymoon,
with the Caribbean colored crystals. The Maui bracelet is
adorable...I adore the earring wires, with the matching little
charm at the bottom. My favorite earrings though are still the
RIVER'S HEART. :)
You have yet another devoted Laurie customer...I look forward
to more of your beautiful work in the future.
Kindest Thoughts, Caryn
From Rachael
Laurie,
I oohed and aahed over the pictures, but my
bracelet and earrings arrived today and they are just stunning. I am
SO HAPPY! You are an artist. Thank you for getting it done in time
for our cruise. I will definitely order again. Love your work!
Rachael
After her trip she sent me another email of
thanks.
Once again, I LOVE my Caramels & Cream set and it
was so fun to have it on our trip. We had a wonderful time. I look at your work and JUST DROOL!! I want to be
on the waiting list for a Secret Garden set, bracelet and earrings.
I don't care how long it takes, I just want one! It's breathtaking. Pretty soon, I think I am gonna need something in
EVERY color! You are amazing.
Rachael
From Suzi
Ohmigosh, Laurie! I just got home from work about 1/2 hour ago and the
minute I saw the box I tore into it like a kid on Christmas morning.
I LOVE IT! The bracelet is absolutely perfect and the
earrings are to die for. Everything is so pretty and "sparkly". More
than I could have ever hoped for. I am now hooked, and I want
something in every color. :) Thank you for making this for me. I
love my new "treasure"! What a lovely way to end a very long,
tedious day! Have a perfect evening. ~Suzi
From Christine
The earrings arrived today. Thanks! I love them. The denim blue color
in the beads is gorgeous. Just what I've been looking for! Thanks
for sharing your talents. ~Christine
