My First Novica Purchase From Ana Maria Gonzales
Over time I have purchased a number of Ana Maria's stunning decoupage crosses and decorative boxes. This is the one that began my collection. While the feeling is rustic and antique, the cross itself is finely and perfectly finished--without flaw. The picture doesn't do it justice. There is substance to the pinewood and the edge is beveled and beautifully finished in a muted gold. The metal ring for hanging has the appearance of aged iron.The colors are clear, yet soft. The size is 11 inches high, small enough to fit above a doorway or in a grouping of objects, and still large enough to make an impression when hung alone. This is a very tasteful cross, crafted with care and artistry. I was so happy when I received it, that I immediately ordered a second cross from the artist, the larger "Virgin Morenita Guadalupe."

I love these plates!
I am in love. I have been looking at and collecting Talavera -- most "vintage." These plates however are new. The colors are more brilliant and deep; the plates are solid and smooth; and though I did not think I would say this I love them more. I kissed the plate this morning just because it is so beautiful! These 12 inch dinner plates are large and would make wonderful serving plates also. I have the bowls too and love them also!
