"beautifully sculpted, detailed and colorful"

Great customer care - ordered 6 napkin rings, received 4 broken. snapped a pic of the damaged rings, emailed to customer care - 3 weeks later received 4 new rings in pristine condition. Design - small but expertly crafted. Meticulous paint detail - not sloppy or rushed. Colors are glorious - better than the picture. These are a little fragile, but the joy I will get from using them justifies the extra effort of careful handling. I am very happy with these napkin rings and the follow up service.

"Love these cardinals - my third set"

I have purchased three sets of these Cardinals now. Such beautiful details! I have given some of the cardinals away as gifts to friends. One hangs on my kitchen valance year round with other Fair Trade birds (many from Novica). This pair was the last pair - so watch for them to be available again.

"Amazing little woodpecker ornaments!"

Thank you Mario Rodenas for these Yellow-Crested Woodpecker ornaments. I kept one and gave the other one away as a gift. Our little woodpecker was added to the flock of Fair Trade bird ornaments that hangs in our kitchen window. I know my friend loved her ornament, too.
