About Me
I am returning to school, finally, to achieve my goal of being a teacher. I truly enjoy interacting with children, from babies to teenagers. I have two sons in college and one in a crib! They are my reason for living. I love to walk and look at gardens and houses. I have several cats, all very sweet and odd personalities.
Why I like NOVICA
The beauty of the handcrafted items from all over the world. I grew up watching National Geographic programs on television- this site makes me feel like I finally can interact with the people. I love the personal feeling I get from selecting an item- everything is unique. It makes me feel like I have traveled to places I've yet to visit, but wish to some day.

Testimonial For Victor Hugo Lopez
I purchased the carved wooden salad serving spoon and fork set as a birthday gift for my dad. He loves gardening and salad! I picked the radish ones as a gift because as a child, whenever my dad would plant his garden, I was usually given a corner as "my garden," and I could plant what I wanted. I almost always planted red radishes, white radishes, and onions. So, aside from being a unique and lovely handicraft for a gift, it brings back a funny memory between my dad and I about how I was a "stinky" little gardener! Thank you so much creating these.
"Developing a new design is like planning for the birth of a baby. I draw, cut the wood, carve it, sand it and take it apart until I have a finished piece that makes me happy."
