“Beautiful beautiful beautiful”

My new blessed mother, Praying Mary, is lovely. I ve been looking forward to her arrival, and she was worth the wait. The packaging thoroughly protected her as she arrived in perfect condition ready for me to enjoy. Now I m trying to decide where to place my new Mary. I also plan on saving artist Juana Ponce to my favorites. I will buy more of her pieces. Thank you, Ms. Ponce.

“A family treasure”

This large Talavera Jack-O-Lantern is beautiful, and my favorite for Fall decor. With a lighted candle -or small plug-in electric one- it adds fun and soft brightness to our Fall evenings. I got a second one as a gift for my daughter who loves it as much as I do

“Beautiful!”

This colorful ceramic tissue box goes with any decor. I love the ones I purchased! Their weight keeps the box steady so the tissues pull out easier.
