"Cheerful Little Angels"
These angels are really pretty, colorful and original. They will bring a smile to whoever receive them as a gift. I own a set and have given them as a gift too. They look great on a smaller tree. You could get more for a bigger one. They would look nice on a fireplace mantle too. Enjoy Christmas with these six new friends!

"Offering a little hope"
I love these little worry dolls and jumped at the chance to buy a bag of 100. The tradition is for one doll to handle one worry, but I use them slightly differently in my mental health advocacy. I give one to anyone who is worrying about something...or many things.. and say to place the doll under their pillow at night so the worry doll can help find a solution. It is amazing how much a little hope can help.
