I shall enjoy gazing at it.All the best,Emily, USA November 2023Hello Jane,The parcel has arrived safe and sound to me here in Bristol.It’s a beautiful print and brings out my memories of Hoy and Stromness so clearly. I am so glad you included Clestrain as I believe that is where John Rae lived, and he is rather a hero of mine.Thank you so much for the print and I hope I can return to Orkney some day. Kind regards Sue October 2023 UK
Thank you, the cards arrived today. They are beautiful and thanks for putting them in a box. I looked at the boxed selections but wanted to pick my favourites so it was a lovely surprise when they arrived boxed rather than individual. I bought them because I have several birthdays coming up, but now I don’t want to give them away – oh dear, I’ll just have to buy more! Glenda October 2023 UK
Dear Jane, Good afternoon, My tile has arrived, it’s absolutely stunning and just crammed with exquisite details. I’m delighted with it! The packaging was outstandingly secure, I like the reused materials and the bubble wrap and tissue will be reused by us as well. Thank you so much for an excellent result. I bought two mugs a year or so ago, and despite being delicate, they have proved both robust and hard-wearing. They look as lovely as the day they arrived. Thankyou, Fiona September 2023 UKJane, I don’t know how you do it. ‘Sunset with Terns’ arrived this morning, not tomorrow or Monday!! Do you have a private mail service? It’s beautiful - and beautifully packaged. Thank you very much.

Roberta USA October 2022.Hi Jane, Your picture arrived safely yesterday.Thank you. We love the strong image and the glorious colours.It will be a powerful momento of our wonderful holiday.

We searched the Hall out later, and its striking location is seared into our imaginations.Many thanks. My print arrived today. Amazing service and it’s lovely. Its a gift and I’m sure the recipient will love it. Thank you.
