[note:  With this particular custom leather journal, we were asked to replicate metalwork from a family heirloom - working from the picture provided.  This is one of our specialties, and below the feedback, we've included both the original picture we were working from and a close-up of the replication on leather.  Additionally, we received this particular feedback on a *wonderful* handwritten note - so, we've included a picture of the note as well.]

I just got my journal and wanted to let you know how absolutely wonderful it looks! It is far more beautiful than I even expected. I’m sure it takes a great deal of time & skill to do something like that.  I am quite impressed and would recommend your work to anyone!

Sincerely,
