I love your journals so much that I recommend them to family and friends.  You're very professional
and I can't tell you how refreshing that is.  Your work is good and your product is good, I hope for
future success for you and your family.  Until the next journal (or if I run out of paper).

piece of craftsmanship that i could ever ask for.  The embossing is brilliant and seems to jump off
the page in sort of a 3D effect.  The piece as a whole is amazing.  Thanks so much for all the help
you have provided me in this process.  Because of your impeccable customer service, if I ever have
need of services like this again, of should anyone i know need a custom piece i will be sending them
your way.

This is just a short note to say thank you so much for my beautiful journal which I received yesterday! It is completely
in line with your lovely website and all the promises I feel it provides in its descriptions of the different journals and
other products you offer. With the journal I received an invoice with a handwritten 'thank you' note which makes this
purchase even more personal and special than it originally was when I ordered my choice of journal.

I will certainly recommend friends and family to visit and purchase their diaries and journals in the future and I look
forward to coming back to look for my 2011 calendar. Many thanks.

November 15, 2011 - Just wanted to thank you again for all your help while ordering this journal and am glad to hear that it is
on it's way. Can't wait to receive it. I have wanted one of these ever since I found your website and that was some time ago.  

November 24, 2011 - Just wanted you to know the journal arrived safely yesterday afternoon and I am absolutely thrilled with
it. It is such an outlet for me to write all thoughts and feelings about my day down and the last two have been no different. It is
so beautiful to feel the softness of the leather and the smoothness of the fine cardstock that it makes me want to write and not
stop. It gives me a feeling of a soft serenity that allows the words to just flow. I know that it will be refilled again and again.
Thank you for making something so special that allows me to feel this way every time I pick it up. It should bring some good
lyrics along the way, too.    
Kathy M. ~ Oil City, PA  ~ November 2010
I'm very excited to have ordered from a small company - your journals are beautiful.  I showed your website to my daughter

Small Business Saturday  :)

highlight of my day.

I received my Torbat journal today and wanted to let you know it is AMAZING-- every detail from the olive color to the
stitched-in paper is perfect.  I can't imagine a more fitting journal in which to write the "story of us", to the love of my life for
his birthday-this book is as breathtaking as he is, without a doubt.  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Vicki W. ~ New London, WI  ~ April 2011
I gave these [Torbat] journals to my family for Christmas one year.  
They looked so beautiful that I didn't want to give them away!  
Sarah E. ~ July 2011
The journals arrived today!  They are FABULOUS!  Pretty sure these will ALL go on Tuesday, July 12 (our next Bible Study
night).  Thank you so much and I'm sure we will be ordering again - SOON.
Marla D. ~ Sparks, NV ~ June 2011
I have really searched the net recently for a beautiful handmade leather journal -- for a woman.  So many of the ones I found
really were beautiful but very masculine, either in the colors, materials or styles available.  The "other" site (site address
omitted) had some styles that were feminine [...] but they don't offer the range of sizes that you do.  In addition, you offer
optional ornaments to further embellish the journals; they add a beautiful and very subtle feminine touch without distracting
from the journal itself.  Put everything together and the journal comes pretty close to perfection with a generous touch of class
as well.   And just to let you know how appropriate and "right on" this particular journal is that I ordered:  It's for my niece's
40th birthday; stars have been one of her personal motifs since forever and "
Starry Night" one of her favorite paintings [...]
Thanks, Tiffany, for helping provide the perfect gift for my niece.
