"My daughter LOVES her new necklace."
"I've gotten lots of compliments on my beautiful earrings today. Love you."
"I planned to choose one perfect piece at your jewelry sale, but left with six distinctive creations. (three for me and three for gifts). I am really enjoying the colors and design work, the elegant "feel" of the pieces, including the silver clasps on my necklace, and the way they enhance my outfits. I also appreciated the chance to buy directly from the artist - what fun it was to visit with you, Carol."
"Thank you so much, it (the necklace) is perfect! The stones are beautiful, all are so interesting and the silver beads add just the right touch."
"Can't wait to wear my earrings to 2 weddings this summer. Somehow I know they'll just create the perfect outfit!"

Frequently, I have been stopped by people who complement the jewelry I am wearing. Guess what, it's always a piece designed by Carol!"
"I ordered several pieces from Carol and gave them as gifts. All of the pieces were beautifully crafted and wonderfully thought out. The people who received these distinctive pieces of jewelry were thrilled to receive them and always get complimented on them. Creativity, form and function are key points in Carol's designs. I don't think you can ask more from a piece of wearable art."
"Carol is a wonderful artist and designer. Her jewelry is a wonderful gift for colleagues, relatives and friends and are truly "one of a kind". She creates the type of pieces that are noticed and receive wonderful comments."
"Carol designed one of my favorite necklaces. My necklace has a mix of beautiful beads. It is colorful and unusual and I receive compliments every time I wear it. I will wear it with pleasure for many years to come. I have also worked with Carol as a board member for the Association of Fundraising Professionals and I can say that Carol is creative, dependable, and a hard worker in whatever she takes on."
