What Our Customers Say

A beautiful handmade item that I absolutely love. It's so unique, and also really incredibly well made. The seller went above and beyond to ensure this was delivered before Christmas and I couldn't be more appreciative. So iincredibly pleased with the purchase, if I could give more than 5 stars I would!

I special ordered three books and they are works of art. This is my second order from Janice. I requested a large Alice in Wonderland book that had envelopes and areas I could keep all my little scraps of paper. I also requested a pop-up book that has blown me away! It is so magical. I feel as if I was walking ino a wonderland full of mystery and adventure. The third book is a potions book perfect to keep me organized! I feel so lucky to have these special books for years to come!
