When and where purchased:
Private purchase through HC, purchased in March 2009.
Specific item:
A peasant shirt in the Tillbrook Fairies (pink) fabric, to match a Kobieta outfit I had coming. And the sleeves cut down to 3/4 on three of DD's shirts.
Customer service:
Nikki was totally up for creating a little shirt for DD to match my Tillbrook Fairies skirt! She was incredibly patient with how long it took for me to get measurements, and the turnaround/shiptime was very fast! She also was fine with cutting off the sleeves of some longsleeved shirts I had for DD, in order to let them last into warmer weather.
Product review:
Nikki's sewing is flawless! The shirt she made Jessie is just beautiful. She even made Jessie a sweet little headband to match! The shirts were cut off perfectly with a lettuce edge; I am sooo happy that Jessie can wear these longer now! Nikki's items are always beautiful; I can't say enough about them! |

Also, this was a trade, and when personal circumstances did not allow for me to ship as soon as she did, she was beyond understanding. I absolutely love working with this WAHM.
Product: Outstanding! Both shirts were a durable weight, brighly colored, fit well, and the appliques were original, neat, beautiful, eye catching, and adorable! My kids really couldn't have looked cuter for their birthdays! |

18 Month Spring Pants Outfit
18 Month Reversable Dress
Customer service:
I PM'd Nikki due to a girlfriend of mine's daughter just got into 18 month clothing and that what she wanted for the little girls birthday. She PM'd me back with both of these items that originally were more springish/fall but could have a short sleeved shirt under it.
Product review:
Absoultly beautiful. Both outfits are adorable. I let my friend pick out which one she wanted (gave her the option of getting both of them or just one) and she just wanted the dress, so I got to keep the pants outfit for Madeline (YAY). Nikki's work is amazing and the style is just adorable and unique. The pants outfit looks adorable with a long sleeved shirt under it and I know the dress will be well loved by my friends little girl. I will be doing business again with Nikki!!!
Thank You so much for your talent and awsome clothes!!! |

Yum! These were a Christmas gift for the kids and smell absolutely delicious. The texture is great, it dissolves readily in the running water, and the portion size is huge! The kids really have been getting a kick out of the scent and colored bathwater from Brennen's salts. I'm so impressed with them and will be back for more -- some for myself this time too! |

Product review:
Perfect. Both outfits are very well made. One is a christmas present for my neice and I know she will just look adorable in it. The other outfit is for Madeline and just as cute as can be. I let Nikki pick the pattern and style and her taste is excellent. Thanks so much Nikki!!! I will be back to do business with this WAHM again!!! |

Coordinating patchy sets for my dd and ds
Customer service:
Nikki is amazing to work with! Quick response to messages, very responsive, quick shipping.
Product review:
The outfits are spectacular. I had said that my ds' favorite animal was a red eyed tree frog and my dd's favorite animal was a black horse, and Nikke created a matchy cord jumper for my dd and a matching patchy pants and shirt set for ds, each have the most beautiful one of a kind applique of their favorite animal on it. I adore the outfits and can't wait to give them to them on Christmas. They are fabulous. Sewing is impecible as well. |

Specific item:
Custom 2-piece set (plus extra t-shirt)
Customer service:
Working with Nikki is great, we worked together looking for the perfect fabric and she was so patient for me narrowing down a ton of choices. Also, when I was thinking of a combination of fabrics she didn't think would match, she let me know this -- which was so appreciated. Turnaround time was great and communication throughout the process was always prompt and friendly.
Product review:
This was a birthday outfit for my daughter and it is gorgeous. The fabrics I chose were from Nikki's great collection, and the workmomship, fit, and the way she pulled everything together so the outfit would work for both warmer and cooler weather was just awesome. Beautiful work, and as is always the case when dd wears one of Nikki's creations, we received a bunch of compliments on the outfit from family and friends. |

Nikki is so nice. She was super prompt with communication, and was really pleasant throughout. The headbands shipped quickly when they were finished too! I definitely need to do more business with her!

These are lovely! They fit great, but not too tight, and don't give me a headache like a lot of headbands do. The colors she picked out from my guidelines (I think I was probably a little confusing) were great, and they go with everything! I love them! Thank you so much for the generous offer, and the beautiful pretties! |

PAINTING AUTUMN~Awe Inspired Applique Set~Custom 12M-14Yr: trousers from 2 different fabrics and a t-shirt with elf-applique
Customer service:
nikki is fantastic! she kept me informed/updated on where she was with the set. when i was concerned about a white t-shirt on a little boy, she offered other colors that would match. when the set was finished (she only needed a week for this extensive applique -- totally blows my mind!) and in the mail she let me know so i could be on the lookout. really, everything was just perfect, communication, understanding, turn-around time. everything!
Product review:
my boys are very hard to fit because they are so little for their ages. she took the measurements i gave her and followed them perfectly! there is growing room for solen in the set, but it doesnt fall off him. the materials are very high quality and the workmomship is flawless. i am more than impressed with both the quality and the design that, in itself, is absolutely awe-inspiring. i really cant imagine this being my only purchase from nikki. i have nothing but good things to say about the artist and her canvas |

This dress was exactly what I was looking for! I wanted a dress for DD sized to fit this winter over a long-sleeved top but big enough to fit next spring/summer by itself. She sized it PERFECTLY. Her craftmanship is beautiful. The dress was nicely packaged as well. I can tell she puts a lot of care into her work. |

In Nikkis defense, she had a lot going on in her life at the time. When all said and done, everything ended on a good note.
Overall I was happy.
I appreciate the generous sentaments. This 5pc set order was Jan/Feb of this year and my baby was taken ER c-section at 29 weeks weighing 2.13 pounds. Born Feb1, he was in critical care for 7 weeks and my head was definately not focused at that time. Since there were a total of 5 pieces sent and the inside of the pant pocket being the problem, I refunded for shipping and pant portion of the order. I would have normally fixed any problem and not been satisified until I had it perfect, I just had too much emotionally gong on with my baby to do it, my apologies.

The color wasnt what I had hoped for, so she sent me the outfit with a pair of shorts in the color I wanted for free. The pants seam was undone when I got the product. Nikki, fixed this. When the pocket on the pants started coming apart after being worn once, and washed once. She did a partial refund. In Nikkis defense, she had a lot going on in her life at the time. When all said and done, everything ended on a good note.
Overall I was happy. |
