WRITEN BY A CUSTOMER AND EMAILED TO 100 PEOPLE........ Dear All, As you can see I am sending a mass, mass mailing including about ½ my entire Outlook email address book! The motivation for same was the excellent service I have received from 2 companies over the last 2 months and I want to scream from the hilltop to everyone I know just how wonderful these 2 small businesses are, hoping that you too will support them and use them when you need their services Mary's Repairs (porcelain and pottery) Mary is located in Chicago but her work is well worth the effort and expense involved in shipping her your precious porcelain piece/s for re-build and repair. I sent her an impossible situation…a foot high, 9 inch wide Dresden compote dish that had been lovingly cared for (albeit not that carefully) by both my Nana and then my mother. It is a very involved piece with many intricate flowers, buds, flower basket and 2 children playing around it's base, which is an apple tree. The boys leg from the knee down was missing, countless buds and flowers were chipped and/or broken and the flower basket had a broken and missing handle. In addition the large bowl which was intended to to fixed to the top of the "tree" had been teetering on top for years! This woman worked miracles! This Dresden piece is back exactly as it was when it was first created! THANK you Mary! Thank YOU! You are so talented. I ADORE the piece.

.......Dear Mary: just wanted to thank you for your wonderful wonderful workmanship and talent to put my Royal Bayruth rooster string holder back together again……as you know I contacted four other restoration sites and decided on you because you were more reasonable and I am just so pleased with the end result…..…..thanks again, Toni C. 3-2-2008 from Holiday Florida=see pg4 for pics.

Hello, Mary,
Just wanted you to know what a phenomenal repair you did on my Lladro porcelein "nurse". You would never know, to look at it, that the arm was broken - not a mark is visible! Thank you so much for a job well done! If ever you need a referral, please don't hesitate to use my name. Also, it was very nice to meet you in person.

From ANN in Fort Meyers,Florida.... May 2006
Dear Mary:
I live in a retirement home and was delighted when I received a call from the Security office downstairs this morning that a big box had arrived for me.
The plate you repaired had arrived, and you did a beautiful job in restoring it. I couldn't imagine how you were going to handle all those tiny slivers of pottery that had broken off during the plate's shipment from England in January 2006. But you did!
The plate is now displayed in my china cabinet, and I am eager for my daughter in Cape Coral to visit to see how lovely it looks. We were both heartbroken when it arrived from the eBay seller - and we found the plate broken.
The plate had been painted at the Minton pottery in the 1830's by my daughter's 3rd great-grandfather, Thomas Tatler - who was an artist there. We are fortunate that you were able to put the plate back together, and to do it so well.
Thank you for all the work you did. ANN

From Mary in wisc. I Restored a 18'' ceramic Christmas plate that her Mother had made. It was broken in half.

Thanks again -- I'll keep your name and address for future reference. MaryP. Feb,2006

Restoration of a ceramic Lamp Top for a gentelman in California.

Your porcelain work was amazing. What a technological age we live in. Not sure if your process would be considered "technological" (I don't know what you do or how you do it), but had it not been for the Internet I never would have found you and would most likely have trashed the lamp.
Thanks again. I'd rather it never had been broken,but you were able to salvage a treasured family heirloom.

Received the clock today. I have to say I am impressed. I don't know how you turned that mess into what I have now. If I didn't know it had been broken, I never would know. I guess that is the best compliment I can give you. Thanks a million.
I will send you problem child number two tomorrow.
My dad also has one that needs to be addressed.
Thanks again for all of your efforts. John

Mary The Tea Cup arrived
safely and turned out just
beautiful. You really
performed some magic!!! My
wife loved it. We
re-wrapped it and will
return it to her Aunt
tomorrow. She will be
thrilled, even if it
cannot be used. The cup
will reside, with fond
memories, in a glass case.
Thanks again. Amazing what
the internet brings
together. Sure worked out
just fine and it was great
doing business with you.
If our luck runs out on
another piece of China, we
will be back. I will use
the names in the catalog
to search out
replacements.

Subject: LimogesVase......
I just received the
Limoges vase you repaired.
You truely are a miracle
worker with china. Since I
hadn't seen the chip
before I had it mailed to
you, I cannot tell where
the repair is. We've
guessed where we think it
might be. It's amazing!
God has truely blessed you
with a fanatastic talent.
You've got me excited
about getting you those
other pieces. If it's OK
with you, I am going to
email a dealer friend of
mine and give her your
email address. Before I
had found you on the web,
I had asked her if she
knew anyone who did good
china repair. The person
she had used had retired.
Thank you so very much!!

june 2,2001.....re: MAJOLICA PLATE Hi Mary, I received my plate back today and all I can say is WOW!!!! What a great job. I can't even tell where the break was by just looking at the front. Awesome job!!! Thanks a bunch! Robin

From:    Ron K. Subject: Repair of Porclein To:    marysrepairs@webtv.net
Mary,
We just received the porcelains you repaired for us and can't find any evidence of the repair. Are you sure you did it? Just kidding! It was a perfect repair and we are serious about not knowing where the breaks were. I guess that's the best compliment, if you can't see the repair, that's as good as it gets.
Thanks Again,.....Ron K.

Greetings, Mary:
The vessel is here safe and sound!!! It is beautiful--thank you so much for the gift of your talent.
All the best, Rebecca

NOV.28,2001.......from MASS.
Dear Mary........
The shoe arrived Wednesday, Nov. 28 safe and sound. I am so pleased. It is just perfect and no one could ever tell that it had so many problems. I have put it in my curio cabinet where it will be safe until I find a little case for it. That is a very good idea and I am not sure where to find one, but I will look for it.
I am so glad that I found you over the Internet. I have a huge collection of figurines that are stitching, sewing, knitting, quilting and the like. So far I have managed to have all of them stay intact, but if I ever have a problem with a finger or an arm or some other mishap, I will definitely contact you.
I can't begin to tell you how very pleased I am with the result of the shoe. It was so very hard to come by and then to have it arrive broken was such a disappointment. And I just hate anything chipped or broken. It just ruins it for me. But now I know that you are available for repairs, it makes it all so much better for the collecting world. Be sure to know that I will pass your name on to others that may have problems with their shoes or other collections. And the turn around was so quick. Usually, it just takes forever to get anything back.
Again, thanks from the bottom of my heart.
My Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season.
Sincerely, Kay M.

Hi Mary;
What can I say "WOW"! The work to remove a chip from a 1904 Worlds Fair Plate was excellent. Even the gloss of the glaze matched. The plate looks almost new, I can't recommend Mary's work highly enough, I'll be back with more work for her very soon. Jim Hendrix, Fenton, MO
