The package arrived today (4/12/08) -- I did have to sign for it but luckily I was home. The scarf is beautiful and looks exactly like the photo on your website. Thanks very much! |

Hello Nilufar:
I received my scarf last Thursday and cannot begin to tell you how much
I love it! It is beautiful and I've already gotten several compliments
on it as well. I will definitely let my friends know about your site
and will be sure to order more from you in the future.
Thank you very much for a great shopping experience.
Best regards,

"Before you place your order today...
Please note that I am in process of relocating from New York, USA to Almaty, Kazakhstan. UzbekAlive inventory is currently being shipped to Almaty. I will be able to ship your orders when I receive my inventory (early June timeframe)
I am in process of updating the shipping costs tables for the website to calculate shipping from Almaty, Kazakhstan instead of New York, USA. I will contact you separately with shipping cost adjustment for orders that are placed before I finish updating the tables.
Sorry for this inconvenience and I look forward to serving you from Kazakhstan.

Dear Nilufar,
You've brought so much joy by introducing us to ikat fabrics and those wonderful barrettes. I know the cost will be higher, but I expected that. It will be worth it to see you and your goodies again, and I'm happy for you, to be returning to home and family. I'll be waiting! Best of luck - Mary

Dear Nilifar,
I wonder if there is anything on this site that can't capture the heart! Koshib Omonov's wonderful pins and barrettes are truly unique. When I purchased the first barrette, I had decided it would be a gift for a friend, but the triple hold mechanism - so easy to use - made it possible for the clasp to hold my hair at its thickest, or a whisp pulled back to the side. And the design! So delicate, intricate, magical - I can't say enough! The pins are a perfect match to the beauty of the barrettes, which is saying a great deal! A special note - Mr. Omonov even signed his work in tiny bronze lettering on the back - making the pieces even more personal! Thank you and your talented friends so very much! Uzbek art deserves to be known to the world, and you're making that possible! These are heirloom pieces, destined to be passed down through the generations.

Dear Nilufar,
The scarves arrived and they are a knockout. My wife was particularly pleased with the replacement scarf.
All the best,

I don't know what I had expected - an ordinary scarf printed on silk? For the price and size it certainly would have been reasonable. But what I touched when I opened the folded paper was a spiritual experience which connected with ages of tradition - I could feel the weaver's hand in the intricate pattern of the ikat scarf. There are no words to describe the art until you fingers have run across the cloth, and you've watched the light play with the colors like a woven rainbow. The artist is truly one of a kind. -- Thank you a thousand times!

Today I received my three barrettes and a pair of ornate slippers. Thank you very much for the fast service, and also for offering such lovely items on your website. The barrettes are beautiful and I love the slippers and they also fit me well, so I will be looking for more of the same on your site in the future.

We are visiting in Uzbekistan now, and found this artisan workshop. The details in the designs are wonderful, we bought two pins and a barette. We met Mr. Koshib Nozimovich Omonov, the artist who showed us many of his works...amazing!!! We are delighted to suggest these works of art to anyone!!

I love my scarf!! Color is really vivid and elegant as well. It matches perfectly with dress and it would go well with my other sweaters! Delivery was so quick and Nilufar was so kind and knowledgable to answer all of my questions.

Everyone who received one of the silk scarves I bought from you for Christmas was delighted. Four of them I was unable to part with and wear myself. They really are lovely.

The ikat scarves I ordered last time were lovely and the "Blue Dome Inspiration" jewelry box (J801) is truly outstanding.
The quality of your items and of your Web site as well as your service make UzbekAlive a most enjoyable and informative place to visit and use. |

Thanks for the beautiful jacket and scarves! I am so glad to have a source here for that beautiful silk! I didn't buy enough of it when I was in Uzbekistan in 2000, and now I know were to find it. Thanks! http://www.bellydanceart.com |

I bought the boxes for gifts for my bridesmaids. They loved them. Each one
was unique and beautiful. I recommend the boxes to anyone who is looking
for a one of a kind type of gift.

My order of four barrettes arrived today! They are all even more beautiful than they appear online! I am sure that I will be ordering more items from you in the future. I have friends and family who would love your things, so I am glad that I have found a good place from which to order gifts.

The boxes arrived today and they are even more beautiful "in hand" than "on the web." I'm thrilled. And expect to be ordering more.

The decorative boxes made great gifts. They're well made, with unbelievably intricate hand painting. I purchased some of the smaller ones, which were well suited for purely decorative purposes, or for storing small items such as rings and earrings.

The box and pins that I purchased made wonderful gifts for my sisters who have everything. The workmanship was designer quality at reasonable prices. Also, they loved having something handmade from another part of the world. Of course I love mine too for the same reasons. Thanks for bringing these unique items to our attention.

I love the jewelry boxes. The hand painted design is very detailed and absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for introducing your accessories to me. I now give out the boxes as presents to my friends and they all love them. It's good to have it next to my bed so at night, I can remove my jewelries and can find them in the AM easily.
