What My Customers Are Saying – Heartfelt Stories & Sparkling Reviews
I ordered late in the Christmas season, asking the earrings be sent to my daughter who had requested them. They arrived in plenty of time for our Zoom Christmas event. My daughter was very pleased with them. Also, I really love Alison's web site! ~ Karen L.
In the summer, I take the ferry to Vinalhaven to enjoy mid-coast Maine and island living just beyond cell phone range. In my frequent walks into town, the window at WindHorse Arts always catches my eye for the must-have gifts that accompany my reluctant return to the mainland.
Alison never disappoints with a beautiful array of colors and innovative designs that somehow capture the island spirit and always bring joy to those anxious to receive them.
This spring, I ventured onto the WindHorse web site and found a great place to pick up Alison's creations and bring a bit of year 'round enjoyment back home when island travel is out of reach. Take a look! ~ Steve L.
I just wore my new green, the color of spring, necklace from Alison. Her jewelry always attracts a lot of attention because of its unique design. Love it! 💕 ~ Beth H.
I purchased a beautiful pair of Irish Green, glass earrings from WindHorse Arts. The craftsmanship and dedication to detail are evident in these earrings. I love glass earrings and these are a true find. They are so lightweight and the color is prominent against my dark hair. They don't weigh down my ear lobes at all. I have sensitive ears and have not had any issues at all. They are dangly, which I love, and although they have natural movement and swing, they don't get caught in my hair! They arrived quickly in a sweet little bag with a lovely, artistic card from the shop. I highly recommend these and am delighted to wear them. They would make a lovely gift too! I'll shop here again. ~ Cathy O.
What a happy experience to find the art created by Alison Thibault! Her glass earrings are beautiful! We bought a pair then after they arrived, bought another. Simple design, unique technique, just beautiful!! ~ Celeste W.
I just received my bracelet. It’s just what I was hoping it would be! Lovely. The color blue of the glass is so pretty. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! It arrived quickly and was packaged well. Great place to buy a gift (or a gift for yourself)!

The jewelry is beautiful, and beautifully made. The artist owner is knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to speak with and do business with. ~ Kay G.
Love these beautiful creations and they made my family members very happy! Thank you Alison! ~ Heather N.
My wife loves dichroic glass. I’ve been a customer for several years and she’s always been happy with her gifts from WindHorse Arts ~ William W.
Your jewelry always makes me Happy! ~ Amy L.
I absolutely love Alison's work! One of the annual treats of our trip to Vinalhaven is to pick out "this year's" item from her collections. Her jewelry is beautiful and she's incredibly helpful and happy to work with you if you want anything particular. Practically every time I wear any of her work I get compliments and asked where I found such a beautiful thing. And Alison is just as much of a gem as her work is ! ~ Jen W.
WindHorse Arts is one of my favorite places to buy jewelry. The colors are unique and there is something for everyone. I had been looking for a sable brown earring and this year WindHorse Arts had just the shade I was looking for. While I have never been to the physical store, shopping online is easy and products are sent out with blazing speed. Great for late gift giving!
~ Heidi S.
Alison’s work exquisitely reflects the island and the artist from where they come. Each piece grabs your eye like a shimmering rock just under the water. Like my mother before me, I cannot leave the island without stopping in her shop/studio. It is the highlight of my summer visits. I have many pieces and they are my go-to earrings. They peak out and whisper to me from the bureau, shelves, nooks and sills all around my (landlocked) house - true inspiration! ~ Sarah B.
When we were in Vinalhaven a few years ago we met Alison and I fell in love with her jewelry. I have several pieces in different colors, (it was so hard to choose!) We were married last year in the Caribbean and I ordered “Caribbean” Blue pieces for my bridesmaids. I look forward to seeing her new colors and ordering more gorgeous pieces! ~ Dani S.
When I moved to Vinalhaven in 2006, I wondered why so many women friends had these amazing earrings. I thought it might be a private group! Then I found WindHorse!! I now have more than a dozen examples of the most beautiful art on the island — and I’ve gifted friends and family so many gifts!
~ Careyeah M.
Extremely unique and beautiful jewelry from an artist with a good eye and passion!
~ Melinda G.
Beautiful pieces from a talented woman whom I feel lucky to be able to say is a friend. My daughter and I have several earrings from there. ~ Harriett B.
Cool designs, great selection, affordable pricing and Alison is a very talented and nice person to work with. ~ Allan S.
I’m a huge admirer of Alison's gorgeous glass jewelry. The changing colors and iridescence she achieves is hard to describe. Suffice it to say I own many pieces now and truly enjoy wearing them and all the astonished compliments I get! ~ Diane C.
I love the pieces Alison creates! Every pair of earrings gets me more and compliments! Each piece is unique, beautiful and affordable! I live at the Jersey shore now, but I'm always delighted to tell people about the island my family is from, and about the talented artist who makes such lovely jewelry! ~ Diane S.
Our whole family loves (and wears) Alison‘s jewelry! Her beautiful and unique pieces—especially her classic necklaces—draw compliments everywhere. ~ Eva K.
Beautiful jewelry and great customer service! ~ Emily M.
This is my favorite shop for handmade, beautiful jewelry! Wonderful service! Helana B.
Just bought my umpteenth pair of Alison’s earrings. I have them in many shapes and colors. I get many compliments about how unusual and beautiful they are. I always look forward to her new colors! Donna B.
I absolutely LOVE the handcrafted jewelry from WindHorse! I personally own four necklaces and two pairs of earrings. I also have given a couple of items as gifts. Alison went above and beyond with customer service. I had found a beautiful necklace and wanted earrings to match. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the pair I was looking for. Alison then volunteered to look at her stash of materials to see if she could accommodate me- Materials were located and I had a stunning pair of earrings the next day. I constantly receive compliments when I wear my very unique jewelry. I plan on adding to my collection. I love color and light reflection and both are evident in every piece. It is always a treat to go into WindHorse Arts!!!
