I love it!

The art work is fabulous. The wood is very light weight, which surprised me, but it is a beautiful piece. I bought this as a gift for my son. I'll know after Christmas if he likes it as well as I do. This artist is very talented.

Beautiful and artfully crafted

Purchased two--as gifts for my two sons' girlfriends. This has been on my list for awhile and it didn't disappoint. It took a while for it to arrive but it was worth it.

Cute Beyond Expectations

This little box is so cute! I love the choice of colors. I had a bit of a time figuring out how the box opened the first time (it was a bit snug), but now it's no problem--I just didn't want to break it! It's beatifully lined with black velvet and just the right size for little treasures. I have it prominently displayed for all to enjoy when they come to my home.
