"My Kitchen is Everything Watermelon"
I have watermelon salt & pepper shakers, magnets, trivets, napkins, cutting boards--just to name a few items. (My vacation home even has a watermelon table cloth and loads of other watermelon designed pieces) I place this sculpture in a bowl with my lemons or whatever fruit I have out and it looks so nice! It is so beautifully carved and painted it stands out and gets lots of compliments...so cute!

"Colorful table piece"
I had a tough time deciding which napkin holder to buy because Julio has so many beautiful, colorful pieces to choose from. For something simple and functional, it really brightens up my kitchen table and the room!
