"The dragonflies were selling right out of the box. I couldn't even get them up on the windows." Helen Sage Loft Fifty5
"I just cannot dream of ever being without the Bugz in the store. You can't believe how cute they are. I have them all over a glass pane inside the store and everybody that comes in looks there first... Then they pick out one or two or six or ten and bring them up to the register and I wrap them up." A Proper Garden, Wilmington N.C
"The Butterflies just arrived and are so beautiful! I love the perfection and detail of each one and can't wait to share them in our Nellie's Notes Care Packages. I appreciate your helpfulness in ordering these and enjoyed our visit via phone! Thanks so much. Becky Lear, Nellie's Notes

Uniform and Logo Shops, Illinois
“The dragonfly represents change, transformation, adaptability and joy. Especially being part of a senior community, my friend and I have loved gifting these beautiful creatures to friends who have suffered the loss of a loved one. We suggest they display it in a special place where they can reflect on their loved one’s spirit with joy and gratitude. Also, sharing the remarkable story of how these Bugz came to be adds a very heartwarming and even greater special meaning. They are so very special!”
Susan, Hermosa Beach, CA
"I just cannot thank you enough for your quick response in helping me out and then supplying me with the most gorgeous butterflies. The client was over the moon when she saw these little gems. They had so much fun with them, they pinned them everywhere - thanks for the suggestion. I cannot wait for another interesting project where we can work together."

SPECIAL AND TOUCHING STORY
Georgene, thanks for your email. I was away for a few days and was thrilled to find my bugz awaiting me on my return this evening. Congratulations on the presentation, it is most attractive.
For you information, I purchased them in memory of a very close and dear friend who died in Ireland when I was in South Africa last November. I had given her a present of two from a previous visit and she loved them as much as I did. So I will be passing these on to her family and other friends as a bright and beautiful reminder of a wonderful person.
Many thanks,
Helen
ANOTHER HAPPY BUGZ CUSTOMER
Hi Georgene,
I did receive the shipment on Tuesday. We're closed on Mondays, so that's why they weren't able to deliver. I was selling them right out of the box!! Thanks for following up, I appreciate it very much!
Have a great weekend,
Holly
