Fall Earthtone Home

This was a major hit with my wife. The piece is truly beautiful and the image of a heart on fire was perfect for Valentine's Day. She couldn't wait to see it so I gave it to her early.

Can't say enough good things about the artisan Daniel Vargas STUNNING WORK as well as the packaging! I was simply overwhelmed with joy when I opened the box. So much love and care there...(I will not spoil it for you; just buy something beautiful from this store and you will see for yourself) I am a very busy person doing 90% of shopping online and here I am - writing my FIRST EVER REVIEW... That's how impressed I am with...EVERYTHING about my purchase. P.S. Make sure to read the talented artisan's life story. It is something else <3

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.
