These adorable angels are created by the Lopez Garcia Family in Guatemala. The six dainty angels are crafted of tule fiber, cotton, Kraft paper and foam. Each wears a lacy white gown and has sparkling wings in silver or gold. The six ornaments arrive in a hand woven cotton storage bag. The Lopez Garcia Family are best known for their traditional worry dolls; it is said that if you tell one about a problem and tuck it under your pillow at night, they will whisper the solution in your ear.
