Thank you so much, Candiss! I am anticipating the vest with much excitement! I always have loved beautiful clothes and unique art, yet its not often that they are one and the same. I'll be sure to wear it often. And there is no doubt that I will get many compliments.

Sincerely,
Micki

Dear Candiss, I wore your gorgeous coat to a concert Monday night and the woman seated next to me had me stand and model it, she liked it so much. I contacted her the next day with your web address and it turned out that she'd bought a jacket from you at a Miami show. No wonder she liked mine! We're meeting for lunch at Pike Place Market next week; your art has started a new friendship.

Thanks, Norah O'Neill, Seattle

It brought tears to my eyes, it is so beautiful. Thank you so much Candiss. I've wanted that jacket for SO long. I am
just beside myself.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, thank You, thanks.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

It was good to hear from you with the good news that my vest will be arriving soon. I had fun exploring your website and further acquainting myself with you and your work. Following the Links was another interesting activity.

I was not surprised to see that your work has won awards and congratulate you on your good fortune. Reaching the level of originality and expertise where your work stands above the rest must be satisfying. We all love validation, and to have it come from your peers is even better.

Until we meet again,
Connie H.

What I love about your jackets is that I can wear them in spring, fall, and  winter (which we do get a lot of). In winter they slide neatly under an overcoat and are comfortable to wear all day in over-heated rooms. Even in summer, they provide comfortable protection from over-chilled air conditioned rooms. The magic of silk. Your slogan should be, "Never leave home without Candiss Cole." (Maybe I should get a second career writing advertising copy, but it's true.)

I have purchased a number jackets from you and one for my daughter. You once told me that one of your clients told her husband, "In case of fire grab the Candiss Coles." I know exactly how she feels. I'd like to share my story.

I was returning to the office after a lengthy medical absence. Because I was still not completely recovered and my appearance shows the results of a lengthy ordeal, how I look and feel about myself was especially important. However, the answer to the question of what to wear my first days back to work was easy.

I always feel special and comfortable in my Candiss Cole wearable art, so that is what I chose. In fact, even today I have on one of your jackets and have received a number of compliments. I thank you for the beautiful work. I only wish I had more. I look forward to seeing you at another arts and craft show.

Sincerely,
Rita

He is ecstatic!!  Wore it last night.  He is mailing you a check.  Bless you.

 He could care less about his clothing -- except for his ratty Docksiders, his ripped LL Bean cargo shorts -- and your elegant shirt.  You have made his day, week, month, and year!!

Dear Candiss, your gorgeous coat arrived today; thank you! If it weren't pouring down rain here, I'd be wearing it to a meeting tonight. Rest assured it will be worn and appreciated often.

It arrived, it is beautiful, Thanks. Can't wait for the cold weather.

My jacket arrived and it's beautiful.  I'm off on a business trip to Phoenix next week and plan to take it.  All of your jackets travel so very well.  They just never seem to wrinkle. 

Have been enjoying my new vest too.  Of all the clothes I have, I like my Candiss Coles the best.

Hope all is well with you.

Hi Candiss,
I have been on vacation and just returned home to find my beautiful jacket waiting for me. It was what I expected and more!! It's just beautiful!
Thank you and I hope to be able to get another one sometime in the future...
Thanks again,
Nancy

Dear Candiss,
I just wanted to let you know that I got my new jacket--it fits beautifully--and the colors are perfect! Many thanks to you and your husband!! I'm getting lots of compliments every time I wear it--and of course up here in Michigan, it is already the kind of weather where I need it! Thanks again! Hope to see you next year at the art fair!
