"I received the Atlantis Awakening set (Marco Polo Designs) and wore it to work last week. I received a lot of compliments. I've also given your web site information to a couple of friends who will hopefully be ordering from you in the near future." Cathy Zegarra, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia "My order arrived and I am very excited about my purchases. Please keep me on your email list. Great website!" Gwen Hoffman, Houston, Texas "The necklace arrived today and it's gorgeous! Even prettier than the pictures. A great addition to my Amy Kahn Russell collection. I'll really enjoy wearing this one! Thanks for the great service." Ruth Campagna, Redington Beach, Florida "The starfish is lovely! It is the perfect accessory for a black evening outfit when suspended on a silk ribbon. Again, I so appreciate your effort in tracking it down after I had purchased the earrings. It's been a pleasure being a repeat customer." Barbara Lindauer, Mount Airy, Maryland "Your site looks so lovely! The photos are very nice with your other artists. You do great work! We look forward to working with you." Jane Barthelemy, Marco Polo Designs "I received the (Amy Kahn Russell) pendant this afternoon and I am wearing it tonight. I really do like it and again thank you so much for remembering me for this piece. Sure you can use my comments. It was very easy working with you and I don't mind sharing this fact with others. Again, thank you." Liz Lombard, South Boston, Massachusetts "I fell in love with these (Amy Kahn Russell) designs because of the fact that beautiful, handcrafted clips are rare and hard to find. Thank you for the personal service. I look forward to doing business with you again soon." Maureen Loftus, Santa Cruz, California "I received the (Jay Rotberg) sculpture last week and my wife loved it. Thanks! They are very nice and I can see how tempting it is to start collecting them."

Thank you for offering such exquisite items—these are the things that make a home special! ... Leonie Lacouette's clocks are beautiful and this will be appreciated in it's new home. I look forward to returning to your site to look for a special gift. Thank you." Liz Lombard, South Boston, Massachusetts "She loves it! (Mikutowski Woodworking jewelry box) Thanks very much for all your help. As a funny note, on the 23rd, we were in a crafts store in Rhode Island and saw THE SAME BOX (in a different wood and $60 more expensive) and she was very taken by it ... what are the odds of that happening!? Thanks again." Jonathan C., North Kingston, Rhode Island "Great web site and very nice selection of art." Linda Jeffers, Arlington, Virginia " I have received the packages. Both pieces look divine. Thank you so much for all the effort you put in to locate the bracelet and also for looking into all the 'customs' side of things." Foula Moraitis, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia "The (Mikutowski Woodworking) jewelry chest just arrived. It is SO beautiful! I love the rosewood on the outside and it's really nice and roomy! Now I have all my jewelry organized and I feel much better. It was a real splurge for me to buy it, but I'm very happy!" Ann Jeffrey, Brooklyn, New York "My (Marylou Ozbolt Storer) jacket arrived and I absolutely love it. It fits great, too. Thank you so much ... Yes, you can add my comments. It was a totally positive experience buying from your gallery on-line. You made it easy for me to buy a jacket I've been looking for for over five years." Diane Harloe, Bel Air, Maryland "Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE my bracelet and that it was definitely worth the wait. Thanks so much for holding it for me until I arrived in Arizona. I will check the web page regularly for continuing trunk shows." Kathy Vanderwel, Green Valley, Arizona "I keep forgetting to tell you about the compliments I have received on the beautiful jewelry. I had worn it twice with the blue jacket and had compliments both times. I wore it again today to the Christian Women's Club Luncheon and five people mentioned it." Dorris Bryant, Lansdowne, Virginia "The web site looks GREAT!!! It will be my #1 referral." John, Charlton Glassworks "Just to let you know, I received the pendant today. It is absolutely gorgeous and I shall be extremely happy showing it off to everyone here! Once again, thanks for all the trouble you went to in sending it to the United Kingdom. You've been an absolute delight to buy from and it is much appreciated." Tracey King, Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom "I received my pins and I think they're even prettier than the photos! The way you package them up is absolutely delightful. Thank you for making this such a positive experience. I'll be back! ... Thank you for the excellent photos of your past turtle pins.

I think you will have a number of opportunities to do that in the future." Chris Harney, Phoenix, Arizona "Your web site is beautiful and very user friendly. Not only is it classy, but it is simple to navigate. You can tell an artist put it together." Isabel Harding, Phoenix, Arizona "The beautiful earrings arrived today. Thank you for sending them so quickly." Jane Ritter, Boise, Idaho "The batiked bone earrings came today and I love them! They actually make my face look more angular, which is a good thing in my case. I suspect I'll be wearing them often, if not daily! I do like that look. Thanks again ... The earrings came today. They are stellar—I mean it. The palm nuts are so unsual and the combination with the platinum crystal is unbelievable. My husband says they are gorgeous! I'm going to wear them Sunday night when we celebrate his birthday by going to hear Dr. John! Thank you. I'll be back!!" Sue Ross, Chicago, Illinois "I love my scarf! It is a fantastic color match." Gwen Wilson, Bethesda, Maryland "I enjoy your web site very much. Thank you!" Rena Nelms, Los Angeles, California "One of the most mindblowing art gallery web sites my eyes ever came across. Congrats for the excellent taste and layout. " Wally Asselberghs, Schoten, Belgium "The rabbits look wonderful peeping out below a jacket cuff! It is exactly the AKR bracelet that I had hoped you would be able to find for me. As always, it came elegantly boxed and well packed for shipping. Thank you for all of your efforts in finding me such unique animal art jewelry. ... Your package was here when I arrived home this evening. I couldn't wait to open it and am thrilled with the AKR rabbit pin/pendant. The rabbit carving is just delightful and reminds me of my small black house rabbit, Perri. Thank you for seeking it out for me and shipping it so quickly. I can't wait to wear it! I look forward to seeing your new collection. " Barbara Lindauer, Mount Airy, Maryland "I believe I qualify as addicted! Obviously Amy's pieces speak to me. WOW. She is incredible. I'll keep looking at your web site for new stuff. " Debby Davidson, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii "I love the Eskimo piece, especially since I show an arctic dog ... Samoyeds. This will be a real conversation piece on my lapel when I show. I will keep watching the trunk shows to see if anything comes up that I must have. " Allison Baker, New Orleans, Louisiana "Thank you so much for the treasures! I will enjoy them for years. Your selection is amazing and customer service is flawless. You are my favorite online resource and I am happy to be one of your devoted fans. " Patricia Wheeler, Atlanta, Georgia "I am a brand new visitor to your lovely "store " and am ordering a wonderful pin/pendant today from Amy Kahn Russell's trunk show. She is truly one of my favorite artists ... Thanks so much for the wonderful head's up! I found 5 or 6 pieces I must have. There are really some delightful pieces here ... Oh yes, I've worn 3 of the lovely pieces so far. Of course, everyone wants to know about them, where I got them, etc. ... I'm thrilled to have found your wonderful website, Karen, and look forward to more adventures in shopping in the near future! " Casey Stewart, Stockton, California "The amethyst earrings are absolutely adorable—I love them. Thanks much. I will look at the new trunk show right now! ... This is more fun than a walk-in store ... The drusy earrings are absolutely gorgeous—even prettier than I expected. My husband loves them too! Thanks so much ... I saw the earrings, but I can't wear them until Valentine's Day. My husband is giving them to me! Sue Ross, Chicago, Illinois "The peacock is perfect! Thanks so much for tracking it down ... Never too many emails when it is about jewelry! I got the other package. The necklace and the pin are great.

I plan to keep both items and thank you for your help. I enjoy looking at all of the pretty jewelry ... The Amy Kahn Russell pin/pendant and brass clip earrings arrived today and I am quite happy with them. Thank you for packing them so nicely. The wrapping itself was a treat. I am looking forward to viewing the new AKR trunk show and would appreciate being notified when new things arrive. Thanks again. " Gay Holmes, Burke, Virginia "Your e-mails from the gallery are great. There are a couple of things I have my eye on. Once I'm finished with everyone else, I just might buy something for myself! " Gina Mottice, Purcellville, Virginia "Brava!!!! Congratulazioni!!! (regarding the addition of Asterio's "Colle vicino Siena " QuickTime movie to this web site). All looks very well. The painting collection looks great!! " Asterio Pascolini, landscape painter "This was the best box ever. The big clips were just to die for! The tiger iron and the Chinese turquoise are just more than words can say. And, you know what, although I would never in a million years have picked that bracelet to go with my necklace, it does look great. So, it's a keeper. My jewelry collection will be the envy of all my friends. Keep your eyes open for me, I know you will. Boy, would I love to be there when the (next) box of goodies arrived. " Laura Hyche, Meridian, Mississippi "Wow, I am overwhelmed with how beautiful and professional your presentation of my artwork looks. You did a gorgeous job. Your website is stunning. " Gail Weyant, photographer and ceramic artist "I love so many things on your site. I really appreciate your willingness to accommodate my order. I love the Kristen Carter bracelet!

I like the black background that brings out the colors of the work. " Pat Dunning, abstract painter "GORGEOUS ... GORGEOUS ... GORGEOUS. All the pieces are absolutely fantastic in all the e-mails.

Thanks. " Priscilla Stultz, fiber artist "I love the Amy Kahn Russell piece I received today—very pretty! Even better in real life! Thanks for sending it so quickly. I will look forward to hearing from you regarding the amethyst one. You offer exceptional and personable service—not to mention lovely things. " Joanna Lawrence, New Preston, Connecticut "Gifts arrived today with no problem. My daughter or son (?) left them on my dining room table and my wife started to open them, thinking they were perfume she had ordered. When she saw the invoice she realized they were not (yet!) for her and stopped. When I got home she told me. I figured she might as well start wearing them and I couldn't keep them for a month anyway. (I'd have given them long before then.) So I presented them today ... And she loves them all!!! " Len Roberts, Springfield, Pennsylvania "Just want to let you know that your package arrived and I am very happy with the earrings. Exactly as pictured. This was my first purchase with Rendezvous Gallery, but it certainly won't be the last. I'd also like to mention that your packaging was so spiffy and I'm happy to have the great pen which I'm already using. Thanks so much. Bess Heitner, New York, New York "Thanks for sending the Gallery e-newsletter. It looks fabulous. Thanks so much for the representation that you have given us. " Sandie Charlton, Charlton Glass "Thank you so much for the oil candle, it was great. I love it. " Kasra Rowshan, Irvine, California "I made a mistake. I wanted to look at Rendez-Vous art gallery from Vancouver and first, I saw your art gallery. Ah! What a surprise! You have very nice paintings and art gifts. My eyes are enjoying. Thank you. " Marie Klaudia, Montreal, Canada "The other two (Brumbaugh) paintings I purchased look so fabulous over the mantel, and I'm getting some grasses placed in square glass containers with river rocks to go on the mantel itself, which works really well under the artwork. Thanks for staying in touch ... and I look forward to seeing more art in the near future. " Amy Barraj, Leesburg, Virginia "Just a quick note to let you know that the vase arrived a little while ago and is in perfect shape. It is a really nice piece and I am glad we had the opportunity to work with you on acquiring it. Thanks again for such a smooth transaction and wonderfully safe packaging of the great Correia vase. " Jerry Rank, Des Moines, Iowa Yay! We're famous! Thanks for including us in your mailing. " Lesley, Unique Clocks by Leonie Lacouette "Beautiful web site. " Linda Vogt, New York, New York "Love the site, love this artist (Amy Kahn Russell), love your idea!!! I will send your email (newsletter) to everyone I know. I am buying these earrings as a gift but I will definitely make sure Dave knows where my new preferred jewelry wish list resides. I could have bought 10 things for myself! " Kathy McConnell, Waterford, Virginia "Geeze! The web site looks great! We really do appreciate the effort you put into marketing functional art made by American craftsmen and women. Your web site is very functional and easy to navigate. Thanks! " Liz and Mike Mikutowski, Mikutowski Woodworking "What brings me back is the relationship I have formed with the gallery owner. I trust her judgment and enjoy her non-pressuring style, the information she shares about the pieces and her willingness to do whatever it takes to make me feel comfortable with either a buy or don't-buy decision. We have also shared a few personal anecdotes which makes things fun. It's like shopping in a boutique where you have known the owner for awhile and trust her, as opposed to shopping in a huge department store where you receive little attention and everyone works on commission. Finally, one has the impression that the owner (Karen Burton) has chosen her artists carefully and selects unusual and unique pieces to put on the web site. One doesn't have to dig through a lot of cheaper work that you can find anywhere. Rendezvous Gallery has truly lovely pieces. I also forgot to compliment you on the beautiful wrapping on my pieces. I love the little gauzy bags and the little boxes — all very lovely. " Ann Jeffrey, Brooklyn, New York "Your new web site is beautiful. It is well designed and easy to use. Congratulations! " Carol Lopatin, "plein air " landscape painter "I just wanted to drop a quick line and tell you how much I enjoyed your site. The site is really nice. " Kim Robertson, photographer "I love the article written about Amy Kahn Russell. I like this trunk show best so far—the bright green stone would go great with a new top I have; the citrine and freshwater pearl earrings are great and the carved smokey topaz is so elegant looking. " Pat Bryant, Wilton, Connecticut "WOW!!! looks great!!!! you guys rock! Noelle of Amy Kahn Russell jewelry studio "The earrings were all great. The coral pair arrived very timely. Keep me on your mailing list. " Beth Wroth, St. Michaels, Maryland "Thank you for the information. What a nice surprise to know when they (Asterio Pascolini watercolors) were painted. Thank you for sharing the information. " Libby Hamlin, Kalamazoo, Michigan "The coat is lovely and Ron, the giver of the item, likes it as well. Thank you. " Judy Kozacik, Leesburg, Virginia "The web site looks great ... best of luck. " Elyn Blake, jewelry artist "Many thanks. I was delighted to find you! " Lola van Wagenen, Charlotte, Vermont "Karen, I checked out the web site and it looks good. Thanks for all your work. " Pat Scull, sculptural ceramic teapots "Thanks for the photo, the earrings are great! " Kara Campitelli, Denver, Colorado "Your web site looks great. Glad to be with you!!! Good Luck! " Candone Wharton, ceramic artist "Congratulations on taking over as sole owner of Rendezvous Gallery! This gives us both a great opportunity to complement each other! You have the online gallery and marketing tools. I'm looking for new products to create to fill that need. Let's brainstorm! Being an artist is great! We can do anything we want!
