Jennie,   Thank you for your excellent work. I am very happy to have my poor "Old Kentucky Home" safe and sound, and back in one piece. It must have been difficult. That leaves the C&I "View From Peekskill", and the Cozzens watercolor. Should I be looking for them, or did they miss the cut-off. Either way is fine. I should have a shipment of at least five mailed by Friday.     Take good care of yourself and stay well. Thanks very much.         Mark.


 

The Boydell Lear engraving arrived safely yesterday, and I couldn't be more pleased!  When I sent the print, I was hoping you could help a bit with the damage,

but I had no idea how successful you could be.  It looks wonderful, and the line engraving even looks sharper without all that age-toning and whatever else was going on.  Thank you for the splendid work.  You say you hope I enjoy the engraving for years to come, and I guarantee I shall.  It will surely be a family heirloom, and, as I said, I'm astonished that you can reverse those water stains and years of wear and am most grateful to have had your services.  I love this piece, and it's taken me years to find one (one that I could afford, anyway).  Buying a piece in need of some care and hiring you turned out to be the perfect combination!      Best to you, --Bob McDonald 


 

It just arrived and I am delighted with the result.  Thank you. I have a few other pieces I would like to send along, and will do so when I liberate them from their old matting etc.  Hope that’s okay.  Paul J.              Novato, CA                    Artwork:  Original Levon West etching 


 

I received the print yesterday and I am very pleased, it came out as I hoped it would. It looks terrific, you did a great job preserving the original color which is so important. You also did a great job on the framing,  it looks very nice. I also appreciate the extra effort you put in on the packing for shipment. Your check is in the mail today. Thank again.

Hi Jenny,     The print arrived safely (amazing packing job) last week. It looks great, what a difference.  Thank you for doing such a good job with it.

 All the best,    Sam  -      Artwork  J.J. Audubon Bien

 “ I received the cleaned and restored "Dun otter Castle" print today and I was amazed at the transformation.  I have to tell you that I am very pleased with the results.  I wouldn't have guessed that anyone could do much for a print in such a sorry state, but you certainly rose to the occasion!  Thanks again for you fine work.  I will certainly recommend your restoration services to others.”       Robert F.              Mt. Pleasant, MI


 

 “ Hello Jenny, The restored prints arrived this afternoon and I am pleased more than I thought possible. Your work is excellent. I have never had prints restored before and

I sent you the most difficult ones feeling if they didn't work out there was little loss. These are beautiful with no color loss! I have about 20-30 more prints that are not quite

as bad that I would like to get restored and I hope you might be willing to do them. I wouldn't be able to send them all at once and but could send 5-8 at a time if you are

interested. Please let me know. Regardless, I want to thank you Very Much for the work you did.”  Sincerely,  Kevin C.   Negaunee, MI         Artwork:  McKenney & Hall 


 

“ I received the prints Monday evening 10/23/00, and I was very pleased with the work you did to restore these prints. I will definitely use you again and I will recommend your work to others in this area that requires this type of service.  The prints turned out much better than I expected. Thank you again, it was greatly appreciated.” Sally D.                Angleton, TX 


 

“Jenny--the prints arrived today.  You did a terrific job -- they look almost unrecognizable!  Thank you Thanks—Bob”
Bob G.   Andover, MA      Artwork:  JJ Audubon, Bien Edition


 

“Hello, Jenny:  I am thrilled with the outcome.  I sent you a thank you note a couple of days ago, it should reach you directly.  You'll read this again, but even knowing how

good your work is, I was still amazed at the quality of "Old Hours."  It's at the framers as we speak.  Have a great day.:” Kathy L.               Big Pine Key, FL 


 

“ The print looks great!!!  I received it a while ago but have not had a chance to communicate to you because of work. Sorry for the delay!!  Please do not hesitate to use me as a reference in the future, should you need one.  Thanks again.” Mark M.              Arlington, VA                   Artwork:  Geographical Map 


 

“My Dear You Are A Genius!!!!!  You certainly did a terrific job and I wish I'd been a fly on the wall to see how this has been accomplished.  No wrinkle...No tear....exquisite color....I am SOOooooo pleased. I had been putting this off for many years and just prayed I would be lead in the right direction.  I have another smaller Audubon and a couple of Gould’s that need help too, so you will be hearing from me again soon.  Thanks again Jenny, I feel as though I have made a friend.”   Virginia R.          Hiawassee, GA    Artwork:  JJ Audubon, Bien Edition


 

“ We have received the print safe and sound and, just like you said, it looks fantastic!   From time to time, I peek at it and am amazed all over again.  Thank you for the great job of packing also.  That print never knew it had been moved.   Eleanor couldn't believe that I rolled it up initially but evidently no damage was done.  As we indicated initially, in the event of a satisfactory job, we would be glad to be used for reference, if you like.  Since the print looks not just good but unbelievable, we will certainly be very glad to repeat that to anyone you might refer to us.  Thanks again!”    Tom A.                Birmingham,  AL              Artwork:  Havell Edition
