"Gorgeous"

This is so well made and the colors are so vibrant. I chose the green and instantly switched from my Fair Trade purse I had been carrying from India.

"Nice, but not quite what I expected."

It must be the word shawl, because I thought this would have more weight to it. It looks more like a table runner, which is how I will probably use it. It is quite pretty.
