Delightful!
This was intended for a friend who loves our Siamese kitten but whose apartment does not allow pets. It's really lifelike, evidently - I unpacked it to check for any shipping damage, and almost immediately our kitten chewed off the tops of its ears! So I am now doing cosmetic surgery and it will occupy a place in my home instead (joining other Balinese carvings that various members of the family have brought back over the years). A really charming ornament.
Exquisite Gift
This book is a treasure! Far more impressive than the photograph for the quality of care in every aspect of its construction. I got it as a gift for my partner as he tells wonderful stories of his childhood. Though he does not journal, I encouraged him to use this beautiful book to write those stories that they may be enjoyed by his children and perhaps grandchildren some day. I am an artist in the US, graduated from a well known art college. Freshman year, the Calligraphy class required that we create a book from scratch, including end papers, binding, cover etc. It took a month of serious effort and I am proud of my creation, but easily admit that this book far exceeds my own. It is simply beautiful.
