"Simply gorgeous!"

Its fabulous! I purchased Tradition shawl and I am in complete ah of the stunning workmanship of this woman, the detailed work, and of how beautiful the shawl is whether on or off. I treasure this shawl, for it brings me great joy , and I will wear it with love to Aj Quen for her beautiful outstanding work and for the amazing artist she is who touched my heart. The colors and the quality are both a 10+! The shawl is perfect to wear for dress up times when you want to make a good impression and also for comfort on these chilly spring evenings. Thank you so much!!! Joy
