5 out of 5 starsI purchased 3 brooches from Kim and they are beautiful! She was wonderful to work with. Went above and beyond to make sure I was happy from holding the items, to adjusting price for shipping with the the initial purchase all the way to after delivery making sure I was pleased. She was very responsive to all my inquiries and made sure she responded quickly each time. I cannot say enough good things about Kim and her shop! Thanks again!!
