Wood retablo, 'Saint Martin de Porres'

Susan

Both bright and rustic

This retablo is a lovely expression of St. Martin's spirituality. It has a very rustic feel even though it has bright colors. I love the little dog and cat at his feet.

Nice!

This Is a Gift

I haven't taken it all out the box, I don't want any parts to go missing. But from what I did see it is so beautiful. I can't hardly wait for his B-day to give it to my Husband. He will be retiring soon (I hope) he has been talking about building a miniature suburb/town, he has a train set he has had since he was a kid. He has been collecting miniature homes and people. I thought this would be a great addition for his project. I've also bought him a fairy house (made from a Gourd) so I thought this would also look great. I think I got a great deal. The craftsmanship is so right on! Thanks!
