Michelle,
Well, you’ve done it again! I received my reunion bottle today and again, I just love it. I just can’t imagine any other reunion bottle looking as good as this one does. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! And THANK YOU AGAIN!
Your bottles are spectacular and I just love them!
The plum color on this bottle is really magical. When I was taking the bottle out of the box and bubble wrap, it almost appeared black, then when I got to look at it in the light up close, it looked blue and then when I set it on the table in the light I could see the plum color. I took the bottle outside into the sunlight and really got a nice plum color with the sparkles in the paint.
What an exceptional piece.
I will be back to order the 2nd Season purple bottle with the blue arches soon. I just bought a new living room suit over the weekend, so I’ve got to make a payment to the credit card and get that squared away first and then I will order.
Thanks again so much and take care!
Sam
A Proud Dreamy Jeannie Bottle Owner!!

Hi Michelle,
I just have to complement you, after continually looking at my Reunion and Purple Bottles, that you truly are a master at painting Jeannie bottles!!!!!!! They are not only beautifully detailed, but capture all the intrigue and magic of I Dream of Jeannie! I am just so excited you are in business to provide this to Jeannie fans and am very anxiously looking forward to my Evil Sister Reunion Bottle!
Thank you, Michelle, for your talent and your understanding for Jeannie fans, and their love for the show and the iconic bottles!!!!!!!!
Much Much Respect,
Scott

Subject: RE: Purple Jeannie Bottle
Michelle,
I actually forgot too that today was a holiday! I have got to tell you…I am speechless!!! WOW! The pictures of my bottle are fantastic!!! Now, I really cannot wait to receive the bottle. I feel very certain now that I will be back to order another bottle from you. As I mentioned before, I think I am going to order the Reunion bottle next and then the original Purple one, this time with the Blue arches. I was going to order them at the same time, but I know you are busy and to be a little easier on the credit card (!), I will order one at a time. I just can’t believe how beautiful this bottle is. Can you get any more perfect and closer to the original than this??!! Anyone who has purchased a bottle from the other artists cannot have as special of a piece as your bottles. Are you sure you aren’t the artist on the original bottle??? Even though I know you aren’t old enough…is there some secret you are hiding!!! Of course, I am just kidding. Well, I have been all over the internet since ordering this bottle from you and see that you have had news crews do interviews on you and you are even a hit in Australia! Congratulations!!! You deserve it. Now, I can’t wait to get this piece of crap Jeannie bottle that I got took on from Jeanniebottles.com up on ebay. I feel almost ashamed to push it off on someone else, but I don’t want it to distract from the beauty of my new, PERFECT Jeannie bottle!
Michelle, I can’t thank you enough again for making a dream come true for me. I know you have heard it before, but I too, watched the reruns and would carry anything from soda bottles to whatever I could find around the house when I was little and talk to the bottle and pretend that I was Major Nelson talking to Jeannie. Today, I have those great memories and like you, realize that it was really the bottle that I loved. I collect so many things; pianos, juke boxes, and lately Tiffany Inspired stained glass lamps, and I cannot believe it has taken me so long to get one of the items that I have waited for for so long…the Jeannie bottle!!! I thought my most prized possession was my replica of Josette’s Music Box from the 60’s soap opera Dark Shadows (not sure if you are familiar with that show or not), but know I know, without a doubt, my most prized collectible will be your Jeannie bottle.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!
Take care, Sam

Hi Michelle,
I received my second season bottle yesterday and it is just "AWESOME". You really are quite the artist and have done a fantastic job! I especially like how it seems to change color depending on the amount of light in the room. When I decide to get another bottle I know who to get one from: YOU!

Dear Michelle:
I received my Jeannie Bottle today!!! Very beautiful, artistic painting of the bottle. Thank-you for being so nice and treating me like a customer should be treated. There are alot of people out there even more on the internet that would have taken advantage of me. I just want you to know how much I appreciate it. Sometime in the future...I would like to eventually have you paint me up another bottle. Probably the bottle from seasons 2-5. It has really been nice doing business with you and thank-you again for everything. Lisa

Michelle,
I wanted to thank you for doing a wonderful job on my bottle. My bottle is absolutely fabulous! I love it very much. It looks great on the coffee table. ( I have to keep the cats away from it though.) God forbid anything should happen to it. I am thrilled and delighted by the whole thing! I am already planning for my next bottle.
You are a wonderful artist. Your attention to detail is marvelous. I will show my bottle to all my friends and family. I already have one friend of mine in Miami who would like a bottle. He is coming over this weekend to see mine.
And also want to thank you for all the wonderful emails you sent to me. I know you must be busy, but I really appreciated those emails.
Well, I am sure you may be getting another order or two out of me. -Plus, perhaps some friends of mine. For this reason I will not say good bye for now. We will talk later.
Thank you so much Michelle! You are the best! Take care, and have a wonderful day!

After having been a fan of the I Dream Of Jeannie show, it is very exciting to have my own Jeannie bottle. Thank you very much for having done such a wonderful job on my bottle.

Happy New Year
I received my bottle on 21 December.
I am so happy with it. It is such a stunner. It’s the best present I have ever bought myself for Christmas. I’m thinking of buying another one for Christmas this year in a different style. I’ve taken a picture of the bottle with my digital camera so that I can show my workmates and friends and they all love it.
Wishing you all the best for the future.

Hi Michelle,
Just letting you know that I received the beautiful Reunion bottle today, and I definately have to brag on you again. It got here in what seems like only a couple of days. Photos can't do justice to the craftsmanship as well as the brilliance and richness of the colors! It is really breathtaking. The base purple color itself is truly something to behold. The way the color changes based on the lighting conditions is incredible.This really is a striking and unforgettable work of art. I'm sure anyone who comes into my home and notices it will want one for themselves. The attention to detail on such a complex design is remarkable. I have my first bottle from you, the second season one, in my office at work, and it's the first thing people notice when they walk in. They don't even have to say anything, I can tell their eyes go right for it. I have had several people want one just like it. They love the colors and it's overall appearance. Everyone wants to know where I got it. This new reunion bottle from you continues that excellence in its own unique way. The level of professionalism and integrity that you put into your work, as well as your business as a whole is to be praised. Thanks so much for keeping alive the interest of many in such a way that truly adds to the history of our beloved favorite (Jeannie) bottle. Please post my comments onto your website. I would love to be a part of that. I will also be taking a photograph of myself with the bottle to add to your photo page. Also, look for me wanting the 1st Seasonbottle sometime next year.
Thanks again Michelle. I am very happy with it!
Best Regards,
Jason

I've been purchasing bottles from Michelle for the past five years, so it's almost redundant to continue writing testimonials each time a bottle arrives. I decided one encompassing post would do, as I have been and will continue to be a customer, and can honestly say I've never been disappointed in Michelle's artistry. In fact, when I receive one of her creations (another bottle is on its way this week), it's always the opposite. I find myself just as ecstatic as when I opened the first bottle I purchased in 2001. I own a complete set (from the first season to the sister bottle) and have ordered custom bottles and bottles for friends as well.
For anyone who's considering ordering a bottle from Michelle, please feel secure in your purchase. I can firmly attest to her talent and more importantly, her integrity. Michelle won't send you anything but the best. It's known you get what you pay for, but in Michelle's case, you actually get more. She simply does amazing, flawless work. If you're a fan of "I Dream of Jeannie" and have always wanted a true replica of Jeannie's bottle, you'll find it right here on this website for a very reasonable price. I say don't bother with cheap imitations, brass or ceramic. After all, Jeannie's bottle was a 1964 Jim Beam bottle, right? So there you go. Finally, just so you know, Michelle doesn't give me discounts. She doesn't give me a kick-back to write about her work. She's earned her reputation and deserves to be known as the stand-out Jeannie bottle artist she is. I'm proud to own her work, and you will be too.

Michelle, my GLORIOUS new Reunion Bottle has arrived today at standard lightning speed, and has made QUITE the ARTISTIC impression on me … only to revolutionize my opinion of the Reunion Bottle! In fact, I think it might just be one of my new favorites, second only to my Purcell Bottle, (Purple Bottle) with which I remain madly in LOVE!
As I have written to you, so many raves in the past, and since I purchased another bottle from a new artist recently (which was great to me for a few hours, but lost emotional connection with me almost immediately)! I really wanted THIS and all my blurbs that I wrote to you in the past, to be somehow reinvigorated with this note, and then to accomplish something unique with this new analysis to convey the REAL paramount meanings and connections that I have with my DREAMY BOTTLES and THEY to me!
So I thought, perhaps I would write you a poem, or an ode, or even, perhaps, a love ballad to, as it were , but instead, I’ve decided that you truly deserve a specific, HEART FELT comprehensive critique. Warning the following is very long-winded, but I do indeed state what I mean to say!
AND I speak to FINE ART! The revised Reunion Bottle (and I look to the actual bottle for each remark I put in writing):
First of all the color of the fresh Reunion Bottle is utterly SUPERURB, the match of this NEW radiantly deep purple is EXACTLY what I imagine the actual prop to be, but with the class of FINE ART! The clovers are so bold, meticulously done, and so very perfectly placed. Even the tiny jewels sparkle and seduce my eye (as do all of the jewels throughout the bottle)! The new cobras are really QUITE CAPTIVATING to me, as you have somehow captured their purpose in the basic design from the original prop, but your eye for clarity, BALANCE, and precision has created them CLEARLY to be better than the original, without losing any of the intension! The curved arches (both sets), go without my saying, are a true sculptural FEAT to behold, not only must the geometry involved be unbelievably intricate, possibly even maddening, but your actual execution and craft of them is a factual triumph … I also love how they join so very effortlessly as opposed to the going the bottle-bamboozler’s novice route! The new GOLD is overall remarkable throughout the bottle … its luster is poetically shimmering and enchanting unto itself! This not even marrying into the entire design as a whole which is only more breath-taking! The circles … I will never understand how your circles at the mouth of the bottle are accomplished without the use of some kind of template? But YOU DO these too without defect or odd build-up from stencils! The stripes … Vibrant colors, width, technique … FAULTLESS!
The cat’s eye-jewels at the bottle neck … I’ve never really been attracted to these before, but something today hypnotizes me! I think this lays with the colors contrasted to the shapes and ideal execution! They highlight but also unify in the overall beauty!
The new stopper with HEARTS … alright, I realize that you incorporated this new feature per my request as informed by the original reunion bottles, but I have to articulate that I hope that others may possibly see this new detail, because I truly believe that a lot of people would truly be drawn to the purpose and skill of them! The sealant … as with all of your bottles is perfect! Not too much to muddy the intricacies’ with light, but not to little to leave the bottles ever flat or unprotected! Overall … I have no more words! I am ecstatic and ELATED with my new Reunion Bottle. In LOVE again with another DREAMY Bottle of my own (and it’s been ENTIRELY TOO LONG)! AND please don’t forget I have another ALREADY on order!
Thanks so much.
Much Love, Jeff

Subject: Jeannie Bottle Arrived
Hi Michelle,
I received my Jeannie bottle yesterday, and I am so pleased with my new masterpiece. The authentic "Jeannie" look you applied to the Jim Beam bourbon whiskey decanter is astounding! When I lifted my "2nd season" Jeannie bottle out of the shipping carton for the first time, I could not believe I was holding a piece of television history in my bare hands! Before I committed to buying a "Jeannie" bottle, I felt it would be wise to do a little research to find out which artist produces the most authentic looking Jeannie bottle after learning that there are quite a few artists out there that paint "Jeannie" bottles. One place I looked was the "Hajji Review"; this web site described you as being the best of the best. There were other sources, too. They all endorsed you as the artist who painted the most realistic "Jeannie" bottles. Satisfied with my findings, I then selected you as the artist who would paint my bottle. When I finally received my treasure, and after I examined it, and seeing how gorgeous it looked, I was so darn glad I was smart enough to do my research before I committed to buying a "Jeannie" bottle! The masterpiece you've created is without a doubt the greatest heirloom I own. I have NO regrets about spending the BIG bucks to acquire this beautiful work of art. Thank you Michelle, for creating, and sharing this beautiful work of art with us "Jeannie" fans, and allowing us to be a part of something we grew up loving so much, and to be that much closer to it by owning this authentic heirloom. I will cherish it. You'll be hearing from me, again. I'm saving up for the first season, "gold vines" Jeannie bottle.
Regards,
Everett

Hi Michelle,
The bottle arrived today in perfect shape, the box was pristine. Whew! Kudos for the tremendous packing scheme, too. The box would have to have fallen out of an airplane to hurt the contents! J Ok, so, now to the bottle. First off, I’m completely happy with it! It looks gorgeous and I’m looking forward to putting it on display. I just *know* it’s going to get a lot of attention and it should be really fun. Second, I have to tell you that it’s producing a strange effect here. I have it out on my large work desk near my computers. And… I… can’t… stop… looking… at… it! I’m really trying hard to concentrate on email, bills, web surfing, etc…, but it’s not working. I may have to move it to the living room and just visit it occasionally. ;) Today, I’m staring (there I go again) at an artifact that I was just watching on a TV show a few days ago. All I can say is… Whoa. J
Finally, thanks for your personalized attention during this process. I can’t say enough about how a few words of communication can ease a lot of trepidation and worry, so don’t ever stop doing this for your customers. It really does help. I’ll send you some photos of the final display when I get it built.
Thanks for everything!

Michelle, well number SEVEN has officially arrived, and SOMEHOW you have managed to do it AGAIN ... and then some!!! I have actually run out of descriptive-s for you and your abilities ... other than ... your ART and ARTistic works are clearly BRILLIANT and muse-touched. Not only have you put up (so very graciously) with my manyMANYmany insane emails and questions during the creation of this GORGEOUS bottle, but THIS time I have to say that Robert Purcell himself would easily be left beaming! This work of ART is a truly BEAUTIFUL crafted TRIBUTE to his original design, with such glorious execution, panache, and detail!!!! Light dances off of it as do the many colors and meticulous details!
The new pale blue arches are terrific, as are all of the other new alterations ...the shape of the gold in the arches truly pop like the original, as do the new cobra modifications! The Purcell-informed colors are AMAZING, and so WELL researched and accomplished! I feel like I now have Barbara's original prop. :)I am thrilled.

Hi Michelle,
I am ecstatic and I must tell you all about it! As you promised,my Jeannie bottle arrived two days ago. It is absolutely gorgeous. My wife is equally thrilled with it. Your masterpiece could not have arrived at a better time. We brought it with us to see Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman in the play "Love Letters" at Eisenhower Hall at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. Their performance was poignent and nostalgic and received several well-deserved standing ovations. At a question and answer period that followed, I proudly displayed your work of art to them and the large audience of several thousand, at which time could be heard a very audible collective gasp of amazement from the audience. I explained to the actors and audience that I had just received my Jeannie Bottle (2nd -5th season), mentioning you and dreamyjeanniebottles.com by name. Barbara and Larry graciously obliged my request that they autograph my Jeannie bottle. When my autographed bottle was returned to me by one of the cadets who was serving as an usher this evening, a large crowd gathered around my wife and I and our Jeannie Bottle. Many asked me to repeat your web address. I am certain to purchase more Jeannie bottles from dreamyjeanniebottles.com. Thank you so much, Michelle!

I looked at your site the other day when you added another custom bottle :)Your site is GREAT!!! I love it because it isn't too wordy and the colors go hand in hand with the 'Jeannie' theme. The picture of Barbara Eden is great too... The one with her original bottle on the shelf behind her. Gosh hard to believe she has held on to it for all these years.
I'll talk to you later,

Subject: New Custom Bottle Received/Customer Feedback
Dear Michelle;
I wanted to write something for your feedback page.
I received my new custom bottle on Thursday. Near the end of my shift on Friday morning I finally had time to open the package. The pictures you sent of the bottle were great. The bottle is even prettier when I hold it. You blended the colors expertly. The pink is perfect and the peach is so beautiful. This bottle is just the best. It just lights up my room. Yesterday I saw sunlight playing off the surface of the rust color custom bottle I purchased. I was struck by how neat a scene it presented. Now, when I enter my room I'll be waiting to see how light reflects on this new bottle.
Sincerely,
Steve Jorgenson

Hi Michelle
Tuesday was my wife’s birthday, when I gave her her present she couldn’t stop crying with joy. She was over the moon with excitement. Thank you very much for bring so much joy to my wife. Also, I managed to enlarge the Bean ad from the one you sent me via email. I enlarged it to A4 in size I didn’t have any problems at the photo enlargement store. I must admit it reproduced OK. Once again thank you for a job well done. Everybody that saw the bottle was amazed with the detail artwork on the Jeannie bottle.

It was definitely worth the wait. I just have to find a place to set it where everyone will see it. Thank you so much. Keep up the wonderful work.

Hi Michelle,
The custom bottle you painted arrived today and we couldn't be happier! It was exactly what we wanted and then some! So the people on your site will know, we contacted you asking for a customer bottle painted in our company logo colors. In a nutshell, the bottle will tie-in with a company party theme this Friday, and we couldn't be happier to use one of your bottles as our "mascot." The bottle is stunning, and is exactly what we had in mind. When it arrived, we took it around the office and everyone was amazed at the detail and beauty. I even had some people asking for your website address so they could consider purchasing their very own bottle! Everyone should know that they can have every confidence in the world in your top-notch quality & artistic ability. Thanks again for making our day. We will send you pictures from the event next week!
Thanks so much again!

Dear Michelle,
It's absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Everything you promised and more!...The color, the detail, the quality--what a magnificent piece of art--you should be very proud! (I'm certainly proud as the owner!) I almost expect to see some pink smoke come out of it! In the early 70's when I was about 12 or 13, I tried desparately to carve a small replica bottle out of a piece of wood--of course it never amounted to very much, but this masterpiece that you've completed is better than anything that I could have ever imagined either then or now! So, thank you Michelle! Thank you for creating such a fine treasure and bringing so many fun memories to life. I truly appreciate all of your hard & dedicated work and especially all of your true kindness and professionalism. In having such a beautiful & unique reminder of "Jeannie," I think it' safe to say that she'll forever be in our hearts!
Thanks again,

You are the nicest, most trusting person that I have dealt with over the Internet and that means so much.

Hi Michelle,
Just a short note to say that my bottle arrived on Monday, intact and everything!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this... What wonderful craftsmanship and sensational artwork!You really did a beautiful job with this and I am VERY impressed.
Your steady eye for detail shows in your work, and proves that you care about the finished result. You have been a pleasure to deal with and I cannot begin to thank you for making my dreams come true! As you know I have wanted one of these since the show began in 1965 and I was just a four year old. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I would ever get to see one let alone own it and hold it in my hand. Now if Barbara Eden had popped out of it that would have been a bonus but believe me when I say I am just so thrilled to even have one of your works in my collection.
I love it even better than the 2nd season brass bottle that the nameless supplier sent me. In fact, as this is an original 1964 bottle, the startling differences in his manufactured brass version are obvious. The base is a lot plumper on his, and the cork stopper is too tall, adding about another inch. Although I'm pleased to have both, yours is now my pride and joy!
At least your bottle is far more accurate in size and shape and already I am just over the moon about the way it looks. Everyone I have shown it to has been overwhelmed by the artistry. Congratulations!
Thank you once again for making a true "I Dream of Jeannie" fan from Australia more than happy!!
Soon I will send you a photo of myself with my new treasure.
Much love from Downunder,
Geoff.

Dear Michelle,
I've just received my new custom Dreamy Jeannie Bottle. It is really superb! Still smelling fresh from the lacquer when opened, it is a joy to enjoy! I am the only customer who has requested a unique bottle done in gold with red accents on the original clear background. The gold really suits the brown translucent colouration of the glass and the purple and red dots within the filigree base pattern is also very lovely.
I was surprised to find that the actual Jim Beam decanter has rounded edges, and my bottle appears a handsome dark brown when lit from front. Lit from behind, the glass takes on a more golden hue, and I thought the glass was meant to be tinted grey-green.
It is a very lovely bottle Michelle! Its dimensions will be invaluable to me in making my 38 inch (900mm) fibreglass giant version. I won't ask you to paint a 38 inch fibreglass replica though!
Lots of love,

Hi Michelle!!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you before another day goes by. I LOVE my bottle ! I have to tell you of my quest to find my very own Jeannie Bottle. I was born in 1961, and the first TV show that I can remember watching was I Dream Of Jeannie. And being 5 or 6 I believed that Jeannie really lived in that bottle, with the pillows, and jewel covered walls. And as I got older, I still watched the reruns, and still thought the bottle was full of mystical powers. I started looking to buy my own bottle, every exclusive shop I went into I would do the once around, hoping to see a bottle. I traveled the world, and was convinced on a trip to Egypt that there must be a Jeannie style bottle here of all places. But no. My career involved wholesale giftware, and again I traveled the world for them, again convinced I would run across a Jeannie Bottle, and again no. So for the past 10 years, I had pretty much given up on item 3 on my "life list". But then a few weeks ago I was surfing ebay, typed in I Dream Of Jeannie, and 250 items came up !! As I looked, there it was (or so I thought) a painted ceramic replica of what I had been searching for my whole life !! I pulled up the page, to be greatly disappointed, a very sloppily done, knock off, and yet it was a Jeannie Bottle! So I bid. Then I got a brilliant idea to surf the web under Jeannie Bottle, and there you were !! I felt like Indiana Jones in his search for the Holy Grail ! I ordered immediately!! You were so wonderful to deal with ! And then exactly as promised, your box arrives!! It was one of the top moments in my life (and that is saying a lot, I have had a long full life at 41) my bottle is completely perfect in every way. You did such a wonderful job. To have what I believe is a "real" I Dream Of Jeannie Bottle brings me deep happiness. I cherish it as being the number one treasure in my collection of life. Thank you for ending a 35 year search ! It was worth the wait. Now I can't wait to order the entire series.
With Great Fondness,
Steve Gustafson

I can't tell you how happy you've made me. Your work is amazing, and my husband showed me an article that was written in the Sunday Herald, however the computer print is not too legible. If possible, could you send a copy to my home? I would like to show it with the bottle. Thanks so much, and know that your work is truly appreciated and I will enjoy having the bottle forever.

I also received a book that I ordered which is "Dreaming of Jeannie, TV's Prime Time in a Bottle" and there is a bottle in there that looks just like the one you sent me. It is on the first page of the book. I was wondering if it was one you did? In the book there is a chapter dedicated to the bottle and its history. They mention an artist named Oscar Aviles that also paints bottles. They even went on to say that Larry Hagman bought one of his bottles. I feel that you should definitely be recognized in this book for your work. Thanks again for everything.

Hi Michelle
Hope your fine . I received Bottle the other day as scheduled. I anxiouslly openned package and found the Bottle to be more beautiful than i could have ever imagined, and I have a pretty vivid imagination.
The Bottle is flawless and beautiful in every way. Your artistic talents are evident in your perfection for every detail that is painted on the bottle. Not to mention the Bottle itself, seems like you went back in time (1964) to purchase it.
I spent all day yesterday figuring out which room i would place Bottle. Finally put it in a lighted, mirrored, glass curio, along with an original autographed photo of jeannie and an unpainted original all labelled Jim Beam bottle. There seems to be something missing to enhance collection. Will contact you later to fill the gap with a 2nd-5th season bottle.
Thanks again Michelle, It was a pleasure, I feel like I have made a friend.
Thank You

Michelle: to quote Jeannie, in joyous song, "yah-hah-nah-bi-vek-yah-hah-vi-fi!" (repeat...over and over!)
I am, again, staggered by your talents! Needless to say, I am thrilled with my third, Michelle, purchase of a Jeannie Bottle! This time, the custom bottle, patterned after the actual first season bottle with the mint-green wash/antiquing! You give me faith in workmanship and art by managing to still bestow (amazingly enough, even in this year of 2002) the words: workmanship, artisitry, professionalism, and integrity, with their ORIGINALLY -ADMIRABLE-MEANINGS AND PURPOSES!
Thanks so much for your professional example, grace, and ART!
Best, Jeffrey

Hi Michelle!
The bottle is absolutely beautiful!!!! Thank you for bringing my childhood dream to life. I can't believe
I am actually holding "THE" Jeannie bottle I have seen on T.V. for so many years. Thank you for taking your time and for being so talented. I am beyond words in my thanks to you. I hope I can purchase another one later on but this one will definitely be the favorite.
Thanks again....Tania.

Dear Michelle.
I would formally like to congratulate you on your excellent work on my jeannie bottle. You are truly gifted. The jeannie bottle looks exceptional. Your paint work is very delicate and precise. The bottle definately resembles the one from the show. Your manner in which you do business is very professional and you are always there to answer every email question and so promptly as well.
Well congratulations once again, keep up the terrific work Michelle! A+ all the way.
Ross

Subject: omg!!!
Michelle...(please feel free to publish this response on your site!) OMG!!! I am so very thrilled to say that I am the proud owner of both, the Reunion and 2nd-5th season BOTTLES!!!! I had no idea what I was possibly expecting, other than what the responses on your site had promised, but they (the responses) simply do not do your work on these bottles or you ANY form of justice! I have no verbage for my feeling, and I used to be a critic!!!! My word, the professionalism has been unflagging, from your email replies, to these staggeringly detailed/amazingly beautiful work! If I may be so bold as to state: people are, frankly, foolish NOT to buy your bottles! People should run, not walk to your site and place their orders NOW! These bottles are beyond dreamy, they are DDDDRRREEEAAAMMMYYY!!! Thanks so much for the perfect transaction! Rating: 25 blinks out of 10.With much respect, and gratefulllllll-ness,
Jeffrey DeVincent

Hello Michelle:
I just got the bottle yesterday, boy was that ever fast!
The bottle is absolutely INCREDIBLE, I have been looking and reviewing IDOJ bottles on line since 1997 and yours it the absolute best one around. It blows the other one I have right off the map. You have quite the eye for detail and an excellent talent for craftsmanship. You are to be congratulated for doing such work and taking pride in your artistry. There are so few people out there like you who really try to meet the customers needs. I will tell all of my friends about you when they ask "Who painted that bottle?" Expect to get referrals from me. I may even order and gold leaf and black bottle in the near future. Again thank you for such great work.
Ed

Subject: YOUR THE BEST!!!
Michelle,
Well, you certainly made my millennium!! I was very anxious when the package arrived (by the way, thanks for allowing me to have the overnight shipping!!!), and to tell you the truth, I tore the damn box open.....I was very impressed....it was the most beautiful piece of art I have ever seen.....It is absolutly amazing!!! The blue is so pretty, and the other colors blend perfectly with it....it is much better than the picture I gave you!! There is no dought in my mind that you do the most professional job on these bottles than anyone selling them today....And even though I was not born in the 60's (I was only born in the mid 80's), I still enjoyed waking up early when I was little to watch I dream of Jeannie, and I always wanted a fancy bottle, somthing like the original prop bottle, I never thought it was possible to have one, but now I finally own one!....everyone of any age can enjoy such a fine piece of art, regardless if they watched the show or not.....Anyway....I just wanted to say that you did a fantastic job on my "custom one of a kind bottle", and I know that it is not easy to do.....let me tell you, before I bought the
bottle, I searched the internet, looking at other peoples work....and nothing really "rubbed me the right way" LOL.....Don't get me wrong, you have some hell of competitors on your back, but I like, from what I have seen, that your bottles are clearly the best all around......PERIOD.....Many people I bet who come to your site think that the bottles are expensive....well, they are, but for what you get, its worth far more then what you pay.......! You really seem to care about your customers....answering emails SUPER fast, and you are just sooo kind and polite in doing so (you were extremely friendly to me, even where I bombarded you with emails every day!!)... You are such a gifted person......I hope you continue to pass your beautiful work, and continue to make people smile. Such beautiful bottles from such a beautiful person! I hope you have the best of luck in everything you do! I don't know how to thank you enough! I am so happy and privleged to have such a beautiful, one of a kind custom bottle made by you......I will treasure it for my whole life, and I will pass the word to everyone I know to buy a jeannie bottle from you! If anyone has any doubts about buying a bottle from Michelle, email me!! Maybe I will buy the 1st season bottle, I am becoming fascinated with it...hehe! Keeep up the good work, and take care! It was a really pleasure in doing business with you!!
THANKS FOR THE PEN, THAT WAS SWEET!! :)

Subject: Evil Sister Bottle
Michelle,
I just got my evil sister bottle and I'm absolutely amazed! This is the fourth bottle I've purchased from you, and as usual, your painting is absolutely superb!! I can't decide which bottle is my favorite. As someone who's purchased all four styles of the bottles you paint, I can honestly say I can't decide which one is the best...they're ALL great! Thank you so much for being such an awesome person to do business with. Your painting is matched only by your great personality and the love you put into each handpainted bottle! Thanks again, Michelle! I'll be ordering another bottle for a Christmas gift next month...that is, after I figure out which style is my favorite! |
