Product review: Pinch cups, coffee mugs, salt pygg. I cherish my pottery by June. Everything is exquisite and beautifully made, as well as functional. Coffee mugs and pinch cups get washed in the dishwasher regularly and still look brand new. I am a repeat customer for life.
PS: I have other coffee mugs and bowls that I've used for well over a year, and they still look brand new. I can't recommend June's work enough!

Customer service:Excellent- I belong to June's newletter and she sent out an email stating that she was listing some custom slots, but also was taking customs thru that Friday via email, etc.

I emailed her and inquired about a tea pot, but letting her know that it was for a Christmas present so I wasn't in a rush. She told me she had a tea pot in stock and would I like it, and if not, she would put me on a list for one that I did want.

Of course I took the one she had instock because it was what I wanted!!!! She told me that she was running low on bubble wrap and would ship that coming Friday. She invoiced me that Friday, I paid, she shipped and Tuesday AM it was at our door.
Product review: This teapot is just stunning. I am going to have to get one for myself someday. My MIL has a pie plate already which she loves, so this will be a great addition. She drinks about 10 pots of tea each day...lol

When and where purchased:
November 2007, HyenaCart store

Specific item:
Custom glaze berry bowl & in-stock soap dish

Customer service:
June is fantastic. I can't rave enough about this WAHM. First she dealt with me not emailing her back right away about the color I wanted my berry bowl due to me losing my internet access right before a move, and was very accommodating even though I was so slow in responding. Then the package was missent to my old address at NO fault of her own, a total screwup on my part. We communicated through email and she was always so sweet. Luckily the new tenants at my old place returned my package to her, and she re-shipped it to me at her own cost even after I asked her to give me her Paypal address so I could pay for re-shipping it. Basically, I was the nightmare customer every WAHM dreads, and June dealt with it with kindness and sincerity and really went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service.

Product review:
Amazing, absolutely gorgeous AND functional. The berry bowl is now my favorite thing in the kitchen, same goes for the soap dish in the bathroom!

When and where purchased: Through email, custom order, in October 2007.

Item: Two custom butter crocks

Customer Service: Outstanding. I ordered two crocks, one with a glaze I chose from a review of her gallery, the other find the glaze the same way, but I asked June to also put a frog on the top. When I felt like I couldn't see enough variety in her glazes in one gallery, she directed me to another. Well, when my crocks came I loved one. The other I was suprised by the way the glaze came out, and concerned that the gift recipient (since it wasn't a gift) wouldn't like it. I mentioned it to June, who explained that the way the glazes pattern is random, so she couldn't do anything about the pattern. She said she could offer me one in stock in a similar color, or make a whole new one. She sent fabulous pictures of the one in stock, which I decided to go for. She then shipped that to me. After I received and loved it, I sent the other back. June was incredibly apologetic over a situation that was entirely not her fault, and found a quick and easy solution for me. I couldn't be happier.

Product: All of June's work is amazing! I love the butter crocks, bought them because I love the one of hers I use myself! As has been mentioned before, her packaging surpasses anything you could hope for, so there's never any concern of anything being injured in transit. I will definitely order from her again!

hc store and Universal Mama

Specific item:
french butter crock, mini bread baker, fish platter

Customer service:
Fabulous! I contacted June to tell her I was buying from her hc and Universal Mama at the same time, to see if she could combine shipping. Due to the shape of the pieces it made no sense to combine shipping, but she still found a way to make the shipping cheaper (I don't know what she did, but I saved money!). She shipped so fast, I had the items within a week. And I don't know how she doesn't charge extra for shipping, because she takes a lot of care with her packing to see that items are not damaged.

Product review:
Everything is stunning! The clay is beautiful even before the glaze, and the glaze is even and stunning. Everything is perfectly proportioned, smooth, and professional. Truly these are works of art. Thanks, June!
