Details

This chest treasures the timeless allure of Catrina, as first developed by renowned Mexican caricaturist José Guadalupe Posadas. Personifying death, Catrina is a coquettish character that symbolizes Mexican customs and beliefs. She is portrayed eating a watermelon and drinking tequila in a decoupage composition by Ana Maria Gonzalez. She uses it to adorn a pinewood box featuring iron fixtures.

"Got this as a gift for a Date Night Idea box"

I absolutely LOVE this box. It fit 52 envelopes with date night ideas and a little cash in each envelope perfectly. Construction is beautiful and I cant wait to give it to the couple. The box I received is much darker than the photo shows but the design is identical. I would have preferred the lighter decoration but I still love this box!

"Two Cats on Bookmark"

I hesitated to open the package this bookmark came in because it was wrapped up so beautifully. Then I remembered one should do a review so I carefully unwrapped the package. Thank you whoever wrapped the bookmark because the wrapping was just beautifully done. The bookmark is very sturdy and is so nicely done. I am glad I ordered it because I feel I now have a colorful, pretty, and sturdy bookmark to hold my page when I am reading my book.

"A lovely piece!"

I have a collection of gorgeous, small boxes of many different kinds, materials and finishes. This beauty caught my eye immediately and is a wonderful addition to my collection. It is unique from any of the others and is so lovely on its own. I will put some of my newly acquired Novica pieces of jewelry in it as I have it in a location which is convenient for that use and perfect to keep it safe. This is my first piece from Ana Maria, but I am so pleased that I will be reviewing her collection for other lovely pieces for both myself and my lucky gift recipients! Thanks Ana Maria and Novica!! I highly recommend this and believe you will be as pleased as I am with Ana Marias work!

"As a cat lover, and collector of things Mexican, I truely love this item"

This little treasure is good for keeping my jewelry, but it is also an asset to my Mexican room, my second bedroom. I love the way the cats are depicted and worked into the art. I will enjoy keeping my jewelry in this beautiful piece which all can admire.
