Beautiful!
I bought this for my aunt, who loves hummingbirds. She hasn't been feeling well, and I thought watching hummingbirds nest outside her window might cheer her up. Well, of course, she loves the gourd birdhouse. It's beautiful. It might be too beautiful to put outside...that made me laugh, but she promises she will hang it outside, in a sheltered spot so it will be protected from the elements. Right now, it's hanging in her living room! Either way, she loves it.

For my former teacher on her 86th birthday
I personally love carnelian since I first saw it in the wall panels inside the Taj Mahal. It's such a beautiful but someone mysterious stone and I love the fact that it glows when light is shined through it. My teacher, Joan, is a very elegant lady with still black hair and one striking streak of white at the front. I knew these would look fabulous on her. AND THEY DO!
