Every comment we receive means a lot to us and we love hearing what people have to say about our work. Here are some of the comments and emails we've received so far...
(Unfortunately, we no longer have a guestbook on our site due to the high levels of auto-spam received)
"Received them (latticeware bowl and 4 coaster set) this morning. They are perfect. Colours are exactly as I hoped. They will look fantastic in my apartment."

"Just a note to let you know I received the cufflinks I ordered. They are excellent and more special than cufflinks I've found locally or on other sites. The shipping time was also very fast and appreciated. I passed your website info along to one of my colleagues with my favorable recommendation and plan to do so to a few others I know who wear cuffs. I'm a big believer in sharing good things with people when I come across them, so you can indeed count me among your American fans."

"The necklace (ribbon & cord style) has arrived and I love it. I'm even wearing the right colours to be able to put it on straight away! Love your packaging too."

"Your stunning coasters have arrived - they're truly wonderful. I'm not sure that I'll be able to bring myself to put a lowly mug on them though - they're far too gorgeous to use for such a prosaic function! So a glass of water yes, but I may carry on using whatever comes to hand to put my coffee on.
Many thanks - I love them & without doubt I will be to buy more of your work."
Jennifer Dangerfield, Winchester
Jennifer re-ordered 3 more matching coasters as soon as she received the first batch! She wrote back when they arrived, saying:
"Thank you so much for the coasters. I can't tell you how much I love them! I keep most of my 'graphic stimulators' ( ugh - sounds like a drug!) in my Shack and they look perfect in there. At this point you are probably asking yourself if I am paying you a compliment with my talk of putting them in my Shack. Well I promise you that I am. Were it not for a husband & children I'd go completely bohemian & live in my Shack amongst all my favourite things. So now you can see why I just had to have some of your coasters in my Shack - only the best will do for my Shack & your work is completely & utterly perfect!"

"Got them ('Caramel Mocha Moods' duo) just the other day and they're GLORIOUS! Absolutely stunning!
My husband immediately took one for his office, even though I meant for them to be in the living room. My husband sees glass all the time so if he decided to run off with one for personal use, let's just say that's a great compliment to you and your work! I'll be buying more at some point!"
Amber Ayisha Van Meter, Denver, Colorado

"I just wanted to say today I received one of your wonderful coasters for an Xmas present from my sister. It is just wonderful, I wanted to say thank you for creating it! I will now drink much more tea. lol!"

"I have to say you are getting to have a very noticable presence. You have worked hard to get your site looking bright and fresh, your products new and different and your presence is all over the place! Everytime I go on a forum, your posts appear with great piccys of your distinctive products. I haven't noticed anyone else do this with such speed and universal acceptance. Well done you, you have worked very hard and deserve your sucess!"

Taken from a forum discussion about our 'Rainbow' and 'Satsuma Stripes' coaster sets:
"I took enough money to Steph's because I had a strange feeling I would be tempted into buying them, I liked them so much when I saw the photos, so now I have two sets. I have just got back from making beads and the first thing I did was unpack them and place them on the table and all over the place. Gorgeous they look.
Actually I had already shown them to the guy who lets me loan his garage and he loved them as well so I might have to commission another stripey set for him for Xmas Steph, as he has been so good to me I owe him something nice and he has already tried them out in his living room and they add a lovely splash of colour.
Don't go to Stephs unless you are prepared to spend because her stuff is even more gorgeous when you actually see it... Its all so fresh and gorgeous looking.
I love my coasters and will never part with them. Thanks Steph."
Lesley McFarland (LesleyMac), Cheltenham
Lesley commissioned 4 'Rainbow' coasters and also bought 4 'Satsuma Stripes' coasters.
"I was sitting on my hands with those ones as I was so tempted myself the minute I saw them. Sadly finances don't allow at the moment, or they would have been mine already, I swear it!"
Emma Ralph (ejralph), Coulsdon in Surrey

"Oh don't worry Emma, she will make some more, ha ha, I was having a look at some others she has there and really really wanted them as well. Worse than a kid in a sweetie shop I was.
They are really shiny and lovely and beautifully made and will last forever, so I think they are a bargain. An investment. Handmade beautifully and with real style, what more could you want?
When Steph is famous I will tell everyone I was one of her first customers and of course I could see how talented she was."
Lesley McFarland (LesleyMac), Cheltenham
"I simply had to have the ones i've bought the minute i saw them! They are lovely and i can't wait to be the owner of them! We are getting our coffee table on Saturday and the minute it gets it's place in the lounge, the coasters will be right on it - looking gorgeous!
Steph, you are wonderful, super talented and very reasonably priced! Everyone should own a bit of 'handmadeheaven'"

Shell commissioned 2 'Rainbow' coasters.
