Enchanting and Gorgeous

Product picture

This is my most favorite stone ever! I came to know it first when I bought this bracelet. Any time I look at it, it enchants me with its beauty and evokes feelings of tenderness, love and affection. I bought two additional bracelets and now I wear all three of them every day! Thank you, Lorena!

This handcrafted wooden box is absolutely beautiful. The picture caught my eye and it?s even more stunning in person. Every time I pass by it, I can?t help but admire it. The artist is truly gifted and has a great eye for detail! I purchased this as a gift for my best friend and it?s going to be hard to give it up!!

A perfect precious memory sculptured angel

Product picture

A perfect gift for our youngest grandson whose mother, our youngest daughter, lived in Indonesia twice during schooling on foreign exchange. Having also visited Bali, observing the excellent craftsmanship of the people, this angel wooden sculpture has significance in bringing back many precious, lovely memories. Simply beautiful!
