Hey, You probably deal with a ton of people every day- I went into your store yesterday and we talked about water flows, and good areas to go to in Manchester, and the weather. You gave me some incense- and one is lit right now, and it smells marvelous. I'll definitely be in some time soon to get some more! I wanted to say thanks again for them. Such a lovely thoughtful gift! I was checking out your website, and it looks great! Right on in the internet realm! Have a lovely day!

Your customer,

Hey Jerry, how are you? Nice to see you on line. I was and am (when I am in town) an avid fan of Harvest and have passed the legacy on to my daughters (who still live there). I know you have a broad array of items to choose from, but it would be nice to see more of your collection on line. I have friends here who love the jewelry I buy from you so much, they give me an idea of what they want and a pocket full of money and I always find the perfect gift at your store. I have yet to hear someone was not happy with what I have found for them at your store. They love you down here! Sure, we have a small shop here, but it pales in comparison to you and I have yet to make a purchase there. NO KIDDING! So please do your best to get that web site "tweaked" and get more of that outrageous stuff on line. (It would also be a great help if you got your credit card thing going too!) You're store is truly one of the few things I miss up there.

A loyal customer,

Hi Karen,

Now you know it... you made my day today! I was surfing the internet today trying to find some last-minute gifts for my 18-year-old daughter.

I tried to think...what does she like? Jewelry.

Who has the most beautiful jewelry? Harvest.

Where were most of my rings, necklaces, and bracelets purchased? Harvest.

Therefore, I checked to see if Harvest had a website and to my surprise I found it. It was like seeing an old friend from way back when. It brought an immediate smile to my face!

A Little Bit of History: I grew up in Manchester and took a road trip with my best friend in 1979. I met my current husband in Southern California and never made it back. I have now lived in So. Cal. for 27 years. Over all of these years, I have never forgotten about Harvest and still shop there when I visit my family (my mother still lives on Oak Street). I try to make it back about every 3-4 years. I have many happy memories as a teenager visiting your original store on Main Street. I just loved seeing the old photos on your website. I had a pair of earrings that I purchased there probably in 1974. I was heartbroken when I lost one but made the remaining earring into a beautiful necklace which I still enjoy. My best friend (from the road trip) now lives in Bolton and often sends me birthday gifts from Harvest. I always love them.

This e-mail is much too lengthy, but my point is this.... Thank you for remaining true to your original concept of beautiful handmade jewelry, beads, and scents with a family atmosphere. You have never compromised your style or originality, and your staff always treats everyone like family. Your merchandise is original as well as lovely and lasts a lifetime. I love visiting your shop when I visit family in Manchester and can't wait until I can order online. Hope to visit again in summer 2007.

Thanks for the memories and hope to see you soon. Have a wonderful holiday season.

Hey Jerry, how are you? I was and am (when I am in town) an avid fan of Harvest and have passed the legacy on to my daughters (who still live there). I now live in Fort Pierce, Florida but visit your area at least once a year and you can bet you are one of my first stops. I have friends here who love the jewelry I buy from you so much, they give me an idea of what they want and a pocket full of money and I always find the perfect gift at your store. I have yet to hear someone was not happy with what I have found for them at your store. They love you down here! Sure, we have a small shop here, but it pales in comparison to you and I have yet to make a purchase there. NO KIDDING!
