Liked your new website so much that I spent £46! Delighted things looking so rosy.
Take care. Love Alison Bending 29/03/08

I really like the new website, it's easy to navigate and it gets to the point for those who want to just select and buy but also has stuff for people who want to browse and read. I especially like the fact that the add to basket symbol is a basket and looks like something you would have made, a brilliant idea!
Tara Trewinnard-Boyle 28/03/08

It looks good, very professional, you have some very sweet things.
I hope you do well :)
Annemarie Goddess Jewells 27/03/08

Ali - love the new web site. Did you build it yourself. It really looks great and shows your products to advantage. I have added it to my favourites!!
All the very best with it.
Cynthia 27/03/08

I'm very pleased (and impressed!) that you're dispatching my order tomorrow, because it's for my sister's birthday later this week.
I have added Ali's House of String to my internet favourites, and look forward to seeing what you source for the website in the future.
With best wishes

Thank you very much for the tealight holders which arrived this morning, they are lovely. They were so well packaged it took me 10 mins to open the parcel! I look forward to shopping with you again.
Sue Singleton 26/01/08

Thank you so much for all the products that I ordered they arrived today and are all absolutely lovely. I was very surprised and very pleased at the size of the heart because the photo does not realistically show the actual size and I am too lazy to get a tape measure out and see what sizes they were. My daughter said that for hand made products your prices were very reasonable. I wish you all the very best and you have, and are still achieving so much with all your hard work and determination.
God bless

Best, E. 17/09/07

Ali, this is marvellous! I love it!
Lots of love the Bride!! 25/08/07

Just a quick note to let you know my glasses chain arrived safely this morning. I am delighted with it; it's exactly what I wanted - absolutely beautiful. I am no longer a reluctant glasses wearer! Thank you for your excellent service. I will recommend you to all my friends.
Very best wishes, Debra Russo 24/08/07

Alison you amaze me! I am in that dark place you have talked about and I to am getting one to one, G.P. etc. I saw you last week on the market. It takes all sort's to make a world and I am genuinely so very pleased for you that you've found your way out truly I am. At the moment I am still looking for my torch (ha ha). You should be so very proud of you.
Kindest Regard's to you M. 05/07/07

Kerry 13/05/07

Website looks super. easy to navigate, great descriptions and photos. Interesting reading your story too, all I can say is that it gives me hope - Racing mind, self doubt, lack of energy and spirit. I know all of that only too well. I’ve forwarded your address onto all in my address book. Although not many in there hopefully they will forward likewise. See you in Stamford soon.
Peace love and light S. 10/05/07

Your website looks great – well done!
Kind regards

I'm so pleased for you! The website looks fantastic! You've got some drive you have!
I gave up after a few knock backs and am back at my silly job! Well done you!
Karyn M 09/05/07

Hi Alison, Congratulations on your new website. The site looks very professional. I read your story of how the site came about and want to say well done in having such a positive attitude and coming through the hell that is depression, I am doubly pleased for you.
I hope your site does really well. If you have a links page I would be happy to link with you. If you send me a photo of one of your creations that is made with Fimo I will link to you from my gallery. Good Luck and all the best on your new venture.
Veryan Craft Cellar 09/05/07

Hey Ali, The website is fantastic, well done. I just loved the 'story', very inspiring and brings a total difference and reality to the site. Keep it going now, your journey is truly under way.
Jeff Naylor 09/05/07

 

Dear Alison

It has been so wonderful and inspirational to work with you, share ideas with you, pass on things to you and learn from you.

My prediction that you had a business inside you has been proven and my total confidence in your future is based on the observable fact that you have created the business as an extension of your personality, ambition, spirituality and the 'who I am' part of you.

I just know that what you are doing is incredible, special and an example to others. Thank you for being a part of my life while you have worked with us and I hope you will carry on as my mate now you are leaving.

You and Dave are lucky to have each other. You are terrific, generous and good people.

Thanks for being part of the times that have written the latest phase of my little life and world.
