Helen Homes- My valued buyer talks about her best friend Lord Ganesh

I recently got opportunity to interact with Helen, my sweet buyer from etsy shop, and she expessed that lord Ganesh is her best friend. She kindly wrote to me about this bit of a story as to how the friendship happened. Read on-

Ganesh is my best friend. I knew about him and Hinduism on a superficial level but last year my nephew had the good sense to marry ayoung lady from Mauritius whose background was Hindu.

She really is a special woman and I remember saying to her when I met her for the first time that "I loved her elephant."

After reading away and participating in their Hindu wedding ceremony I found I was becoming very attached to Ganesh and his story is so filled with wonder that he will be my friend forever. And he does listen ...and does remove obstacles.

Delighted with great customer feedbacks

Time and again, it boils down to customer feedback, how happy customers are with your product, quality, service and overall business experience when it comes to any business. I am delighted that my little online shop continues to make sales and receive cool customer feedbacks as you can see from here-



I myself am grateful to all my buyers who took time out to provide feeback, and also to all my buyers who are happy with my shop and somehow havent been in a position to find time for themselves due to busy schedules. As long as the experience is worth remembering for them, I am happy.

Great customer feedback always doesnt mean all went well only during the transaction, perhaps in some rare cases, shipping got delayed, customer had some additional queries to the process ..but they were handled well, and in the end outcome was good and customers felt it was money worth spent.

Thanks again to all my buyers..for those who are new to my shop, I have unique collection of handmade artworks, folk art, original paintings are reproductions and some handmade supply artworks also. I ship worldwide from within India. I also have framed artworks as well.

Happy Ganesh (Ganesha) Chaturthi , Elephant God Festival Celebration in India and across the world

With upcoming festival of lord of wisdom, our dear elephant god, Ganesha whom several people across the world worship and admire for its virtues, let me wish you all happy festive times. My father particularly had such a strong hold and fine brush with Ganesha paintings. Of course he did several other arts as well, such as other folk art paintings, nature paintings, abstract, at the same time I think Ganesha paintings were so nature of him.

In his abscence, I am part of close team of artists who paint in their own great style and we have several new works. Hope the watchers and shoppers of my shop will love those as well.

First Customer Feedback Photo

I just received customer appreciation photo from my customer 'etsy user name- sunchaser8'. She has sent me the framed painting photograph of the original painting she purchased from my etsy shop. It's my dad lord Ganesh painting. My wonderful buyer, Laura has got it beutifully framed as well. I am delighted to share with you the framed painting photograph, as attached.

Globe Trotting of This Lord Ganesh

Well this little original painting, with beautiful dark blue framing (not seen in the photograph, framing was a custom order) is a globe trotter in its own way. Well, friend of mine- Amol, purchased it almost an year ago (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=15856038 ))when I was in Sydney and he was in the US. He got it delivered to his Pune/India residence. Now that he has been back in Pune, he has basically gifted this Lord Ganesh/Ganesha painting to his cousin- Sanjeev, as he was on his India vacation, who teaches atPrinceton University. Looks like the blue frame and the blue elephant has indeed crossed the continents and blue oceans to find its final destination which a great office space like Princeton University. This particular lord of wisdom has decided to live in this cheerful ambiance filled with great education. Wonderful journey isn't? Sometimes I wonder whether these muted works also do have their own 'lives'? Perhaps yes :-)
