Dear Joanne,
You were so lovely to me on the phone the other day, I want to thank you. I’m the girl that called regarding the Japanese specialty toothpick. A.T.

Hi,
Just found you website and the SASHIKO designs sewing technique! How beautiful. If I order can I use a money order rather than credit card? Also, I have a ragdoll cat that looks just like Yoki!!!!! F.J.T.

I have just discovered your site and am thoroughly impressed. I have placed myself on your mailing list and look forward to many future purchases. Could you please advise what the shipping charges would be to Melbourne. V.M.

I am doing a course on Japanese folded patchwork and love the Japanese fabric. I found your site in my search for this fabric and will tell the rest of the class on my next lesson. It is a class of 44 students of various ages but all with a love of this beautiful fabric. H.A. England

Hello,
I’ve been shopping for Japanese fabrics in SF and the East Bay as well as the internet. Your selection is the best! I want to have a duvet cover made for our bedroom and plan to decorate the room around the chosen fabric. L.F.

I would like to let you know that the order has been received today. Thank you so much! The fabrics are beautiful and charming and I love them all. I will certainly come back again in the future. Thank you for making available such good quality fabrics on your site. P.D. Canada

I am thrilled to find your site. I am now wearing a yukata sent to me from Japan almost fifteen years ago. It is my summer robe. When it dies of old age I must have a replacement. How much yukata material do I need to order to sew a yukata of 60”? I could not find that information n your website. Thank you for your help. K.C.

My order arrived last Monday – my surprise was palpable at your dispatch! Everything was excellent—the fat quarters are particularly good. I really must do this again soon, although I am running out of room for my fabric stash. I sew and sew but don’t seem to make that much of an impression on it! A very satisfied customer. H.O.

Hello,
I received you beautiful branches and cherry blossoms. Thank you for your kind note and generosity. I have a Samurai tile ornament on my mantel that holds his hand up and is supposed to have a sword in it. Now he holds beautiful blossoms and branches of peace, instead of battle. You sent the very thing he needed. N.T.

I just have to tell you that I have enjoyed your site more than any other. I love getting your email news and seeing all of the incredible items that you carry. Please keep up the beautiful work and site. L.N.

Dear Chuck and Joanne,
Absolutely marvelous! You’ll be getting an order very soon! H.C.

Dear Joanne,
The fish box arrived today, all fins intact! He is gorgeous, thank you for parting with him. I will take good care of him and will find a display arrangement worthy of him (and safe from marauding cats!). Thank you for packing him so beautifully too. The fabric is wonderful also, of course, and I’m sure I will be ordering from you again in the future. M.M.
