These are beautiful. I hadn't even had a chance to get them out on their display before a customer bought some of the bracelets! Looking forward to ordering more.

I’m writing to let you know how much I appreciate your excellent service and friendly attitudes. The Barrington Garage has grown to the point that I’m now dealing with a broad array of suppliers, and I wish I could say that all of them are as diligent and gracious as you.

Just recently had a bad experience with one of my suppliers which reminded me, once again, that I need to take the time to thank those suppliers who make me feel like a valued customer, and you do that. Please know how much I appreciate it! "
