“Oh my God moment!”

Today I got my new nativity set. I must say that although it looked pretty in the site, I had no idea it was such a beauty. Wow! It s larger than what I envisioned and breath taking. Thank you, Thank you Juana and Novica. Love this nativity which is now an important piece in my collection.

“Fabulous Ethnic Mexican Nativity Set”

I am so happy to have this large, colorful, 16 pc. Mexican ceramic nativity set. It is so colorful and bright and the figures are larger than I thought they would be. I am very pleased with my purchase. Also, this fragile nativity was packed very carefully and thoroughly in a large box and there was no damage to any of the pieces. Great job on the packing! And I hope Juana Ponce will do more Christmas nativities and maybe a Holy Family piece. She did a wonderful job of creating and painting these wonderful figures in the Talavera style.
