Testimonials

======================================================================

“A Year of Good Manners" has been an invaluable resource for me as a young professional.
The daily etiquette tips are quick to read and easy to implement right away. A number of the
tips I learned saved me from making embarrassing mistakes while establishing myself early in
my career. I highly recommend this book for those interested in presenting themselves
confidently and with an air of refinement in any situation. You’ll be able to enjoy the teachings
for years to come.”

It's so thoughtful! “A Year of Good Manners” by Margery Sinclair. Not only do I wish I had long
ago discovered this perpetual calendar for recording important dates (before I missed those
important dates), but I wish I had met Margery long before now. She is a treasure of information
on etiquette and fashion and a great human being.  The book is Margery's wisdom with
Jan Polk’s GAFC “respect series”original paintings.

“I had bought a pack of your Peony Flower Note Cards at the Flower Show this Year.  I've enjoyed
very much using them for "Special Notes" to friends. Thank You Very Much for the "Instant Delivery"
of my online order!  I was amazed when I arrived home after 4 this afternoon, to see it at my door.
Along with using a couple myself for special notes to friends, I'm EXCITED about Gifting Friends.”

"My cousin just arrived home and called to tell me how much she loves the vineyard painting you did
in our living room.  Raved and raved and raved…which reminded me to write you immediately!  I've
bought your note cards nearly every year since they were available, and can attest to their quality. 
Truly a beautiful gift, and a great stocking stuffer."

"Jan Polk  recently provided a fabulous exhibit at Campbell County Public Library's Art
After hours in July, 2011.   Not only is she a talented artist, she has a very unique gift of
interacting with others in order to effectively share her passion for the arts. Her artwork
is beautifully captured in "A Year of Good Manners" and in the vivid note cards she has produced."

"As a teenager, I always felt I needed to know something else but didn’t know what.  Now I know!
It is all in “A Year of Good Manners” by Margery Sinclair.   I love this book!!  Margery uses a sense
of humor to convey very important information for our family, school, social and business lives. She
also gives a reason to use each of the 365 tips!  When the reasons change it is time for the rules to
change. Empowering information.
