    I found what I was looking for and when the sale prices didn't make it to the cart, they refunded me the excess right away. Love your store!

    I had trouble with your website, ordering was very nerve racking. I have made previous orders before without much trouble. I reached out to customer service and Val was very helpful. But by the time I was able to get back to my order several items were out of stock. That was disheartening since I’m trying to do a bracelet for my sister’s 70th birthday. I just hope the beads I ended up with look as nice as your demo does. Very sad and disappointing this time.
