Hello Cathy, Thank you so much for your fantastic web site. The "Claudette Wreath" 
arrived the other day, and it is gorgeous...better than I expected.  I will treasure it for 
many years to come!  Thanks again,

Dearest Cathy, I received my treasures!!! They are so beautiful! You are really 
so gifted.I loved viewing your home and your beautiful, unique things in several 
magazines.I got so excited to see that we have some of the same things. Our 
kitchens are the same pink and green! I have been looking for a bed for myself 
and picked one out on the internet by Elliot Design. I was wondering what 
the bed would look like in a white finish. Turns out, it looks like it is the same 
bed as in your master bedroom!! Are you happy with that gorgeous bed? 
Well Cathy, take care. I wish you continued success!

Dear Cathy: Thank you so much for the lovely email that you sent today
for your website Elegance and Whimsy. It is so inspiring and brings so much
joy! I want you to know that my mother and I just love your site. Our house,
like yours, is filled with all kinds of cottage style collectibles!  Both my mother and I decorate each room of our beautiful home with as many beautiful cottage collectibles as possible. I especially love the little hat box cakes and delectables; they are just precious! I want you to know that I try to visit your site whenever
I can, and so does my mother.  Again, thank you for such a wonderful site that we can come to -- it brings both of us so much joy! Happy New Year,
Toni & Mary Craiker

When I saw your cover of the Romantic Homes Magazine, I gasped! I ran from across the aisle to grab it up into my arms. It gave me exactly the feeling of Christmas I was looking for. If I wasn't in the spirit before seeing it, I sure was after! I absolutely loved it! It was too beautiful and the article didn't disappoint either. I love that magazine. Thank you for being a part of it.

Hello Cathy, and congratulations on your exquisite new site!  From the 
moment the beautiful music starts to play, it is a lovely experience visiting 
Elegance & Whimsy. It makes the soul feel good looking at all the beautiful 
things you have to offer. I have read the Romantic Homes Christmas issue 
featuring your home so many times I've lost count. I am inspired by your 
ability to create and express everything in your heart. I feel and see 
beautiful, creative images in my heart and mind but, for one reason or another, 
I haven't always had the ability to bring them to life.  You have inspired me to 
let it out and express myself!  You're a gem, and thank you for bringing such 
beauty to the world!

Cathy, I finally got some time to read the article about your home and how
absolutely beautiful! What a dream land! And I am sure you are
getting lots of these notes, but I just had to drop by and say "WOW"!

Dear Cathy:  I wanted to write you and let you know that I had received my treasures and I simply love the snowman box that you put the pink glittered ball in! What an extra surprise it was!!  Everything was beautiful as always and I do so love doing business with you. Hope that you and DH are well!! (I have passed the Romantic Homes around to everyone-after I had passed the Country Victorian). Blessings,

Cathy, your new site is absolutely beautiful. Your choice of music touches my heart and I can't wait to see all the beautiful one-of-a-kind items you'll be offering. I'm thrilled with your success and pray all your dreams come true! I'm waiting for the new edition of RH to arrive at our BN bookstore! I checked yesterday but it's still not in. Sending many blessings and wishes for a Very Happy Holiday Season and an Elegant Christmas packed full of Whimsy! God Bless You My Dear Sweet MMP Sis!

Hi Cathy, I have been buying the ROMANTIC HOMES magazine since it first came out. I loved it for years until the past two or three, when a new editor took over and began trying a different approach to what we were all familiar to and loved soft, romantic pastel decor!! The past few months have been a lot better, but when I got this month's magazine with your BEAUTIFUL, DREAMY, SOFT home on the cover and inside, I was just thrilled!!! I even showed it to my husband and told him I wanted my house to look like yours! It is right out of a dream of mine! The Christmas decorations are wonderful, and I really like how you took a white tree and transformed it into a fairyland wonder!!! Congratulations and future good luck with your business. It is of much appeal to a lot of us!! Sincerely,
Francy

Oh Cathy, I could cry with joy. You are such a dear, sweet person. I can't thank you enough for sending me this website. Oh they are just beautiful and exactly what I need for my romantic country victorian home, as  I have been searching for lights like these for quite some time now. I love looking at your website. You have such beautiful items. You are my kind of decorator and know just how to put things together in such a nostalgic homey way. You are saved in my favorites. I love every time I read my magazines and see pictures of your beautiful home. You can just feel the love and warmth coming right off the pages. Warm Wishes and Blessings to you and your,
Happy Holidays,
Linda

Cathy, I received my glitter yesterday and it's wonderful. I have to say that I even loved the packaging!  Every little touch from the pen to the wonderful floral scent I enjoyed when opening the box made my purchase like a party in a box!!  You have a wonderful gift of making things so special!  Thanks so much.  Since I live so close, (Salem, NH), I'll continue to be inspired by your gorgeous site.  Sincerely,
Susan

Dearest Cathy...You're a 'Rock Star' girl!!!  What an amazing article in Romantic Homes Magazine.  I was so excited to turn each page (all 10 of them) and see more of your beautiful home and your creations. And that gorgeous cover page, how cool is that? Such a well-deserved honor for you, all my congratulations. You were so gracious when talking to me and offering to help me get started with my own web site--I guess I lost my nerve. Just seeing and reading the article has energized me again. All good wishes,
Helen

Good Morning Cathy, I am looking forward to receiving it. Congratulations for making the cover of Romantic Homes. That is a wonderful accomplishment and your home is lovely. It's nice to see other ladies in the northeast that love the romantic decorating style. Most of my friends in this area of Maine seem to like the primitive Americana style. Take care,
Susan
