As I unwrapped each of these six adorable ceramic figures I kept saying oh, this is so cute! The ceramic figures are cute and adorable, and I am so glad I purchased this nativity scene from this artisan. I love the Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus and the 3 animals that are there to adore him (a white sheep, brown deer and black and white spotted cow). The ceramic pieces are very well made and painted extremely well. I just cant tell you how much I love this In the Stable nativity scene and I believe you will enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you to Mrs. Davila for creating this and an early Merry Christmas to her!

The Nativity Retablo is a perfect size for where I want to use it. I love the blue colors of the night sky and the stars. The figures are really colorful, too. I really like it. The only problem with the "Blue Nativity" I bought--he didn't allow the colors to dry all the way, so the door stuck and some of the paint pulled away from the wood in about 5 small spots on the door and the front of the shelves. I am going to try to find some paint to match and touch up those spots, because I love the Retablo and don't want to return it. I received it more quickly than was promised, but wish that he had waited one more day to send it, to make sure the paint was dry.
