Jewelry on Display

I have to share a few pictures I was e-mailed of Designs by Dawn Marie in action!  It's such a good feeling to hear the happiness and in these cases see the joy on my customers - even the little ones' faces.

This photo is one of my beaded eyeglass chains.  This little cutie wanted to wear "Gamma's Necklace."  And then made sure that Grandma took her picture!  "I pretty Gamma!"

Yes sweetie, you are adorable!

The next photo comes to us from the "surprise jewelry" I sent out a few weeks ago.  I got this e-mail from B's mom.

"Thank you SOOOOO much! You did not have to do that, but I very much appreciate it. B loved them so much, she put them on right away! :) I have a feeling I'll be having a hard time getting them back as well, however she did tell me when she took them off tonight that she put them back in the box and put them away for when I want to wear them. She said, "We can share them, ok Mommy?" lol So frickin' cute! :)

So thank you again, Ms. Dawn! You do some amazing beautiful things."

I just love making people happy!  Thanks so much to both of you for sharing the photos with me.  They made my day and I feel so lucky to have brought so many smiles to yours!

Hope you are all having a terrific weekend!

{Hugs!}
Dawn

Pretty little things

Sometimes the prettiest things aren't jewelry at all. Today's post is off the beaten path where jewelry is concerned. But it's adorable none the less!

I took both of my dogs to a new groomer today. I loved our old groomer, but she moved out of the area. I've been taking both of my dogs to Petsmart for a few years because they are convenient (just a mile up the road) and our groomer there was wonderful. So I asked her for a referral, and today am trying out someone new to bathe and groom our dogs.



I'm always nervous when trying someone new in this area. Do I communicate clear enough for the groomer to understand what my desires are? Do the dogs feel comfortable with a new groomer and behave?

So when I picked up my little princess first... yes she's a self-proclaimed princess... I was 100% pleased. Not only did the new groomer clip Brandi exactly how I wanted, but she went over & above by adding cute little bows to her ears and really making her look like a puppy. Brandi was over the moon because she was the only one there for the first appointment of the day and she got spoiled.

I walked out thinking how wonderful it was that the new groomer really went the extra mile in customer service. Something as simple as a little pink bow scored her major brownie points in my book. It made me feel that she took exceptional care of my "kids" and made them feel right at home. Thank you Jenny - Petsmart, Delavan!

I'll pick up Cody this afternoon and I expect I'll be pleased there as well. Here's a picture of my little princess! Have you had a great experience with someone in customer service? Tell me about it! I'm all ears! :) (P.S. Here's both of my kids sporting their spring hair do's.)
