"Wunderful decoration"

It is a tradition in Austria to decorate for Easter small twigs with coloured eggs. After removing the eggs I decided to decorate the twigs with this wunderful coloured birds. They are not heavy. I love them and it was heard for me to rearrange the decoration for Christmas.

"Gorgeous"

Wonderful craftsmanship. The colors are beautifully rustic and rich. I have a perfect place to display these gourds, and will have them out all year long instead of just using them as ornaments during the holidays.
