“Great Little Box!”

Combine a small wooden jewelry box with a beautifully crafted carved "Sea Turtle", add glorious, pure pastel shades painting the turtle shell and you have A Great Little Box! It sits on a shelf where I pass it a dozen or more times each day and it makes me happy every time I see it.

“Such Talent!”

This cat is so expressive - especially the eyes. I showed it to my cat and she was afraid of it! Beautiful work! I love it!

“Cute looking but …..”

Cute looking item but not sturdy or weighty enough to be bookends! For that reason I had to return it.
