  • My ad in the Furniture Repair Directory™ keeps bringing me new customers all year long. This season has been one of my busiest in recent memory and I’m so happy. The customers tell me that they find my ad on Wicker Woman.com! So you can bet I will sign up for another year at the next renewal. Your website is really great and most helpful. I have been working with WickerWoman.com for years now! With lots of hard work and timely communication they made sure they delivered the best to me. Highly recommended!”

  • Thanks so much for the great antler basket patterns. We recently moved from Charleston, SC – the land of Palmetto Trees to cow, horse and deer country in Midwest Georgia. Needless to say, it is antler country ???? I love your website (I’m working on mine); your work and well, all of it. I have some friends who are going to give me their “found” antlers!!!!

  • Thank you so much for your site. I recently purchased antique baby buggy and doll buggy. They are full of a century of dirt. Your site was extremely valuable. Thank you for providing the service.
