Ava is extremely attentive, patient and has a great attitude towards her job . I had a special request which was a bit difficult, but she stepped right in and did everything she could so I could get proper results . Thank you Ava again for making my bear perfect ❤!

Why is Sam working there? His only concern was to sell me more items , but he couldn't dress the bear correctly.
