Here is a sampling of the more than kind words I've received from lovely readers. Thank you all for your kind generosity- I really do appreciate it.
"I just wanted to write and let you know that I love your blog. Thanks for doing such great and interesting work. I have always loved making things but only recently have I discovered the joy of buying others' handmade items. Thanks to you a whole new world has opened up, my wallet however does not thank you." -Vaughn
"just wanted to say "thanks" for putting together such an inspiring page...each time i visit Modish i am inspired to push myself and i have started some new designs and make & take classes to squeeze the creativity out of me again." -Kerry of Snickerdoodles
"I couldn't let today go by without thanking you for your fantastic posts about marketing for online shops. Wanting to be featured on a blog seemed like such an impossibility and whenever I thought about it I turned into a nervous spaz. I read an re-read all of your posts, took a deep breath and chose the non-paz route. I sent my email to Joanna Goddard yesterday and am on A Cup of Jo today! I absolutely could not (and would not) have done this had it not been for your great advice and the supportive nature of your posts. Keep up the good work, Jena. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us." -Alia of Sweetshorn Vintage
"I just stumbled upon your site and it is like a ray of sunshine! My heart is skipping around it is so excited by this treasure I have found! I am so totally enthralled by your site, your blog, your indie artist friends, your creative marketing tips...I couldn't help myself and just read every post on the Handmade spaces. How wonderful to catch a glimpse into the creative meanderings of these talented people...people like me! I just wanted to take the time to share my thankfulness with you. Thank you for being a leader in this indie-craft world and sharing your knowledge, love and expertise with all of us to inspire us to new heights!" -Erin of Tesori Trovati
"I wanted to thank you so much for your great tips on marketing. In this case I am specifically referring to the post on how to send an email to prospective bloggers. It made me sit down and realize just how important it is to not only identify your creative vision, but to also give a strong voice to it. I took your tips and tailored them to a specific blog that was looking for submissions to her Gift Guide. As it is local to my area, I also made sure to make it relevant to her interests. I am happy to report that I heard back from her in the same day and that she would like to include me in her Gift Guide! Thank you so so so much for giving your insight as a blogger." -Nina of Beads in the Belfry
"You need to know what a tremendous gift you've given to indie designers and lovers everywhere. To have a beautiful forum, an aesthetically WONDERFUL place and a well curated collection for those who shop indie has been a bigger blessing than you can see at the moment. Keep writing--- you're wonderful at it, and we'll ALL keep reading." -Erin of Design for Mankind
