a gift for my best friend

This is a gift for my best friend. She lives in Merida, Mexico and loves Catrinas. I bought her one a few years ago and she loved it. I chose this one as she is an amazing gardener. This catrina of the garden is so gorgeous. The colors and craftsmanship are amazing. My friend is coming home for Christmas so I am very excited to present her with this beautiful piece of art.
