So often with a business you wonder if your work
is appreciated and knowing it is makes all the difference...
here are a few e-mails I have received from some of my wonderful customers
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL
Karen, my box arrived to Germany safely and so quickly too!!! I loved EVERYTHING!! Thank you so much! When I opened the box, I could smell the pantry cakes. What a nice surprise on a particularly dreary week. I was so impressed...I will be ordering from you again!
Love, Rachel

Hi Karen,
I cannot tell you how BEAUTIFUL your work is!!! I have never seen such perfect workmanship--not from craft shows OR from store bought items--as your applique work displays! I will definitely be back for more!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents!
Warmly,

Hi Karen,
I just got in and your package was here. It was like opening a gift. Karen, it is absolutely georgous--like unbelievable before my eyes.
It is so great that no one would ever believe that the 3 pieces were not purchased as a set
I am so glad that you used the osanburg. Got to go hang it now.
Thanks again for your patience, talents, and time in helping me complete my projects. Of course, they will probably never end!!!!
I will cherish this handsome piece forever.
The best to you, Mary Ann

Hi Karen,
Just wanted to let you know I received my order for.....pillow with sheep, grungy tags and pumpkin jar toppers and I'm loving them all.
Your work is fabulous. Now all I need to do is clean my house and display your creations. Trying to decide what to order next.
Wish I lived closer so I could go to your Open House In Home Show but it's a long way from Rhode Island. Guess I'll just have to settle for seeing pictures which
I hope you will post on your blog.
Thank you again and enjoy your day.

Hi Karen,
I just had to tell you that I FINALLY got my issue today and couldn't wait to see your home. It looks absolutely wonderful, as I knew it would. I have always loved seeing photos of your home, but the pictures online just don't do it the justice that the professional photography does. You must be so pleased! The article was terrific and I'm sure I will read it several times. You taste is impeccable and you and Doug have done an amazing job turning your home into a warm and cozy, yet remarkable showplace. Did I tell you I LOVE your home?

Hi, Karen!
I just wanted to let you know that I received the pocket, and oh my!!! I LOVE it! It is going to have a place of honor.......it is so wonderfully prim! You do awesome work! Jan
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I saw your home in Country Sampler and had to look at your website. You have given me inspiration to continue working in wool felt.
Your home is so warm and welcoming. That is also what I strive for. I made your Potato Soup last night. My husband and I agree it is the best soup we have ever had! I am now a regular visitor to the site. You do incredible work. S. Crosby

Aha...this latest E-mail alert, of yet another country-creative thing you have involved yourself with, finally definitively confirms that you are NOT indeed mere mortal like the rest of us (who require food and rest for rejuvenation) but a heavenly angel created by the "Prim-purveyor- gods" to bring a breeze of comforting primitive joy into our lives.
You are a wonder, dear friend, and I marvel at the overflowing supply of creative energy you are so generously willing to share. I thank my lucky stars (and sweet Nettie who now resides in Wyoming) that through the marvels of cyberspace I have been able to absorb some of your creativity.
You are certainly the perfect choice for this latest design-consultant position...and I can only interject..."YOU GO GIRL" (now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go grab a twinkie and a nap before opening the latest shipment that needs to be priced and stocked at The Unbuttoned Curmudgeon!!!!).
May I suggest for your next project that you bottle up some of that unfaltering energy, enhance it with a cute little penny-label, and sell it on your KM Primitives website to admirers like me...you'd make a small fortune!!!!!!
Prim hugs,
BJ

Karen - I have to tell you, your site is one of the coolest I've seen. New, different. Really special works of art! I'm very impressed!! Can't wait to return for some serious shopping!
AND COUNTRY SAMPLER! - OMG!! - Can't wait to see you in it! We advertise in Country Sampler and have for about 1 1/2 years - just love the exposure we get!

Hi Karen,
I wanted to let you know that I received my order today and everything is
wonderful as expected. Denise

Hello, Didn't you just recently have a potato soup recipe
listed? I just came back with all the ingredients and now can't find it.
Please let me know. Thanks so much. d.m.
The again she wrote...
Hi Karen, Not a minute to soon......the potatoe's are on the stove and I was trying to wing it, boy what a mistake that would have been. Thanks a million....your a real life saver. Best, d. miller
And then she sent this!
Hi Karen, Well the soup was absolutely delicious. Thanks to you. Great flavor and we loved it. I did forget the instant potatoes though, and searched high and low for the box, but didn't have any. Fortunately I made enough that there is leftovers for tomorrow, and I will run to the store and get some so I can thicken it up.
I do read your web-site and often too. I had been looking for tips on how to make sugar cones, and other prim things along with primitives and lo and behold your site popped up. I love it. I read everything while you were busy getting all your crafts and decorating done for your show. Your home is absolutely gorgeous inside and outside. The winter snow outside looked wonderful.. I have to hand it to you being able to take all that cold and snow. Living out here in the desert it only comes once in a great while. Will your home be featured in Country Sampler magazine with all that activity that was going on in your home. I love that magazine and just sent away for 2 of the special Home Tour additions that come out in March. Well keep up the good work. Your a real treasure, and keep all of us who love decorating our homes on their toes for new ideas. Thanks so much for getting back to me. Best, delphine miller

Karen,
I received the ornaments today and they are just absolutely PERFECT!!!!!
SUCH WONDERFUL WORKMANSHIP!!!! THEY WILL BE A DELIGHT ON MY TREE!!!!
Carol
And again from Carol....
Karen,
I just had to e-mail you and tell you that I have all the penny rug ornaments you made now hanging on my little feather tree!!! IT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY DARLING!!!! I also found some little wooden spools with material covering them and a little birthday candle in the top hole and a small clothespin glued under the spool at a recent craft fair and so bought some of them and have them clipped to the branches. These spools are like the old-fashioned ones that thread came on only these are mini ones. I know I am probably rushing the season buttttttttttttt, at least I am that much farther ahead getting ready for Christmas!!! HA.
I will now put it down in my cupboard for safe keeping and WHALLA, it will be already to set out!!!!!!! IT IS JUST THE NEATEST TREE AND THOSE ORNAMENTS JUST MAKE THE TREE!!! THANKS SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
Carol

Hi Karen!
I got my order today! Yay! I love the jar candle sleeves! They are so pretty! As a matter of fact, I live in a very small town and we have to go to pick up our mail from the Post Office. The postmaster ( a friend of mine ) handed me my envelope and I ripped it open immediately! Just like a kid at Christmas. She was just as excited as I was to see what was inside. We both ooohhhd and awwwwd over the sleeves.
I can't wait to see the look on the recepients faces when they open them. Of course....I get to use mine right away!
Thanks so much for the care you take with your orders. It means so much! I will be buying from you again!
Debbie

Karen,
I just discovered your site by the way. Do you know how hard it is to find primitive Christmas decorations??? and how frustrating???? We have a second home in PA near the Amish country and it was built in 1851. I HAVE to decorate that house with primitives, it would be sacreligious to to anything else ! So I am primitive out there, and here in NY (in a 1888 victorian house) we are trying to blend the victorian home with our primitive style, very challenging.
Have a wonderful holiday and I think if we lived closer we could be FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs,
Pat

Think we can get your Hubby to take a slightly larger, less fuzzy photo?
Your "Mug Shot" is going to be featured on our Home Page permanently, and the photo you sent is pretty small and fuzzy.
We are very excited about bringing you on-board as our Interior Design Expert and we plan on doing a spread in our January Newsletter about you and KM Primitives - we really need a little better photo of your quite pretty face (must have something to do with all that clean living you folks have OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA!)
