"Hello Julie,
I brought in a few "bread and butter" price
point items yesterday to give my case a fresh
look. I am emailing you this morning, just
to say again, how I appreciate your staff
- Michael, Crit, Penny, Terry, Misty (at
least they are the ones I know personally). Invariably
each and every one of them makes my visit
to your store a most pleasant experience.
I feel that my items are "in the right place".
Having run a store, I know that it's a challenge to build and maintain a staff
that represents you well, but you and Ron
have done that most successfully. I expressed
my appreciation to Michael, but wanted you
to hear it directly from me as well.
Best regards,"

"It was a great pleasure to view
the extraordinary detail that is represented in your time
pieces, furniture, and lighting. I admire quality craftsmanship
and I am intrigued by your expertise and knowledge.
I plan to make Solvang Antique Center a must stop when I
am driving between San Francisco and Ventura."
P.R., San Francisco, CA
"Ron, I got back from
Virginia Sunday night and the clocks arrived Monday. They were
extremely well packed and they look great! I haven't wound
them up yet but will shortly. Thank you for the great care
you took shipping them to me and the good deal on the two!
If you should run into other Ansonia statue clocks please drop
me a line. Thank you again."

"I just want to thank you for
prompt delivery. I absolutely love this piece."

"I just wanted to express my
appreciation for our beautiful clock. You and your craftsmen
did a wonderful job on the restoration--it really is spectacular.
It looks great in our entry way, but I think it would look
more appropriate in a castle or museum! ."
K.F., Santa Barbara, CA
"Ron, Thank you for remembering
me on my birthday. I will definitely enjoy my new books.
After reading all of them I am certain to be an expert on
watches, clocks and gold!! I look forward to sharing them
with my children as well. I truly
appreciate your thoughtfulness, and I am looking forward to
enjoying my gorgeous new grandfather clock for many years."

"Ron & Julie, Thank you for the opportunity to
work at the Antique Center. It was a pleasure to work with
such a wonderful staff. You're fortunate to have a staff that
works well together and are enthusiastic about making sales.
What a delight to meet customers from all over the world and
to see the joy the Antique Center brings to them. Thank you
for such a memorable experience."

"First
let me thank you so very much for helping us select the wonderful
pieces we purchased at the Antique Center. The shipment arrived
and truly, it was masterfully packed. (We should know--we just
moved 5 years ago and had our precious pieces professionally
packed.) We look forward to enjoying each piece for many years,
as they become heirlooms in our family. We hope to visit with
you again on a future trip to California."

"Julie, you and Ron are dears!...It
is always a treat to go through the gallery as you have so
many lovely things. Pat, her husband and Penny are very sweet
and most helpful. I will never forget how cordial you all were
on our first visit and what dear friends you have become since.
Audrey has a few more things she is thinking about buying,
so look out, we will be back. Our love to you both."

"Ron, thank you for your meticulous
care in the clock's reconditioning. I look forward to a break
in my schedule so I may return to Solvang and visit your extraordinary
shop."
S.C., Long Beach, CA
"Ron, Wow!!! What a clock! That is
the prettiest tortoise shell I have ever seen. It must have come
from a super model turtle! It got here this morning. I have
it running in. Will need to replace the suspension spring (old
damage) and slightly adjust the crutch. That is it!!!!! I gave
you well deserved positive feedback. My only regret is that
I did not have enough room for a page of feedback. I agree
with you about the ease of movement mounting. The old French
masters really took care. I can't say that I feel the same
right now about their modern compatriots, but I don't want
to go into that! Thanks for going to all of the trouble. Sadly
it is necessary to preserve these old fellows. You could have
packed up a nest of baby birds the way you did this clock,
and they would arrive all chirpy. Peace to you."

"Dear Solvang Antique Center...Just
wanted to say how impressed I am with your place. Today I
bought a mantle clock at your store and having you restore
it. Earlier this year I brought in my grandfathers mantel
clock to have it restored. (I live in Los Angeles after moving
out here from Indiana). Was so happy to have it worked on
and I knew you folks would do a good job. I just bought another
mantle clock and plan to bring it to your store to have it
looked over. My roommate bought her clock at your place and
had it restored after the 1994 Earthquake. All of your people
are certainly very nice and helpful....make you feel welcome.
My roommate and I love to come to Solvang and we always stop
in at your store and look at the clocks. I feel guilty if I
don't buy anything. I have traveled many places and have never
seen a place like yours. It is truly unique!! Thank you again
for the great service..."
G.M., Los Angeles, CA
"Hi! Received the chairs today and
just "uncrated" them... they seem to have arrived in
A-OK condition. Will clean them up tomorrow and enjoy them at
our party! Thanks so much for all your attentive help and very
prompt service. Thanks so much again!"
J.H., Pittsburgh,
PA
"Ron, I absolutely love
my clock; the beauty, the sound, the obvious craftmanship. Those
who have seen it are in awe...Thank you for providing such
a smooth delivery of a piece I will always treasure."
