My third one! Yes, they're that good!
I bought the first one for myself as a confirmation gift because one of our Deacons, in a class for new Catholics, said every Catholic home must have a few things - one of them was a statue or photo or painting, etc., of our Blessed Mother Mary. I bought the second for a woman in my Bible study, who is from Peru and just moved into a new home. I bought the third one for my sister, because when she saw a photo of mine, she fell in love with it - not for the religious appeal, but from a folk art perspective - and after looking at many online, I can't agree more. I watched the video of how the artisan makes the retablo and it added even greater value to it. I simply love them. I love the scene behind Mary - the high mountains, and the flowers, in a wooden box with doors. I mounted mine on a wall in my home office and see it from where I sit. I'm buying the next one as a thank you gift for a close friend who I will be visiting in a few weeks.

Warm hands for working on the computer!!
I love these fingerless mittens! My hands are always cold in the winter but I need to be able to use my fingers to work on the computer. These are perfect! Very warm, but not thick or bulky. I am sensitive to wool and although these are very soft, I wear cotton "arthritis" fingerless gloves underneath. I liked these so much, I returned to buy Ana's "Mountain of Seven Colors" fingerless mitten also.
