“Cute Beyond Expectations”

This little box is so cute! I love the choice of colors. I had a bit of a time figuring out how the box opened the first time (it was a bit snug), but now its no problem--I just didnt want to break it! Its beatifully lined with black velvet and just the right size for little treasures. I have it prominently displayed for all to enjoy when they come to my home.

“Such Talent!”

This cat is so expressive - especially the eyes. I showed it to my cat and she was afraid of it! Beautiful work! I love it!
