I am so excited that I get to wear a piece of your incredible artwork! At first I thought I wouldn’t be able to live without an outside pocket, but one look at the daytime bird on one side and the evening moon on the other, along with the gorgeous interior and that bag was sold. Doesn’t hurt that I’m on a turquoise binge right now too! Thank you for sharing such beauty and creativity!Janet Scalar 2018

Hi Mary Kay, Jan. 2018
I recently bought s purse from you at Bargettos Art in the Cellar. I love it! I love the pockets, all the compartments. I love the magnets and the detail. It is a work of art! I’m so glad I saw your booth as I was going to buy olive oil from Linda. I usually use one purse for a while, so I’ll be buying another from you when I’m ready. Thank you so much and keep making them!

Thanks again for delivering my new purse! I have put it into service and I want to tell you that I adore it.
I have shown it to my very purse conscious friends and it gets consistent A+ ratings.
I like the feel of the material on the outside; the extra outside pocket, the strap and the light lining color.
I have looked for a number of years to find the "perfect" purse for me and this is it.
Thank you so very much.
I will share your cards with anyone who may become a prospective customer for you.
All the best and I will look forward to seeing you around town or at least at next year's craft fair at Mt Hermon.
Your fan,
Carol

Hi Mary Kay,
I had decided a couple days ago that I thoroughly hated my current purse and Voila! here came your wonderful one. I love it! I think you have a life-long customer!
Warmly,

Thanks again for being so good at what you do. Also, I'm quite picky (according to my husband) so for me to be this happy is amazing! I also told Pam at SV Artisans how great I think your bags are. She agreed.

Hi,
I just bought my second bag at Scotts Valley Artisans. I got my first bag when the tag inside said only "Handcrafted by Mary Kay Wilkerson". I think it was a couple of years ago. At any rate, you make the best bags ever! I just bought the repurposed leather bag with the original coat pocket. There is a place (convenient) for everything – and I mean everything – I feel the need to carry. Thank you for designing a bag that works so well! Oh yeah, I'm tough on bags and yours are very durable.

    I just bought my fourth bag from Mary Kay. Most recently, I asked her to custom make two bags, a standard size and an evening size, from a piece of turquoise my father had left to me and they are gorgeous, beautifully lined with a dark purple leather. I also love the second cloth wallet I bought. Mary Kay is very creative, her designs are beautiful and her bags are durable.

    Mary Kay, the purse you made for me is amazing! I love the bomber jacket that you re-purposed and transformed into a beautiful hand bag! The detailing of the purse and the lining are so lovely. The purse is just perfect–even better than I imagined! I am very impressed with the quality of your workmanship, and so is my husband. He loves it too, and he usually doesn't comment on purses. I can't wait to show the rest of the family. I will be sure to recommend your work to others. Thank you! Thank you!

    Mary Kay made me the most beautiful and unique Bison leather satchel! She made it to the custom size I requested and it was made quickly and shipped quickly. This bag is gorgeous! I love the adorable tassels that came attached and Mary Kay was so nice to send me a complimentary bison leather braided bracelet! I am so happy with my new bag! Mary Kay has amazing talent! Thank you so much!

    Hello Mary Kay,
    I bought your English Tan Crossbody while at the Good Old Days event in PG. I just wanted to let you know that I get constant compliments on it, and that my sister even threatened to steal it! I especially love the contrasting stitching, which brings out the embossed strip on the flap. It's wearable, durable, a great size and it's my go-to for everything. LOVE it! I hope to see you soon, so I can pick up another design for my sister. 🙂
    Best regards,
    LB Hayes
