“A wonderful gift for my husband!”

My husbands mother was from Guatemala, and she loved hummingbirds. So when I saw these ornaments, I knew theyd be perfect for him. Each bird is decorated with a unique design, and they are all lovely and vibrant. For convenience, they come with a colorful pouch for storage (if you only want them as Christmas ornaments). But you can also hang them around the house for a pop of color and beauty.

“Marvelous!”

What a great idea to create these tiny animals molded and painted with such patience and creativity. I am an all animals lover. My next small Christmas tree will be a Noahs Ark Friends one. It will be admired and loved for sure and I hope it will inspire friends and family to purchase these tiny marvels from the very talented Jose Arriola. Congratulations for these wonderful creations!
