"A Christmas favorite"

I purchased several different small ornament collections to use as package toppers and stocking stuffers for Christmas. These were the favorite.

"Painted stars"

Love-love-love these - all 6 designs are beautifully painted with vibrant colors. These are not just for Christmas, I will display them year-round maybe with the moon ornaments I plan to purchase.

"Owl be talking to you!"

These two owls are irresistibly! They look so chatty, dont they?! Just looking at them makes me smile. I am making them my spirit animal! They are right next to another Novica product; a two sided cat! I just got a lovely porcelain Robin bird for my birthday. The five of them are near me on my side table. A round Robin. Thats an old term for people seated around a table. They remind me of parrots bopping around and it makes me laugh. If Jose Arriola reads this, I love the birds so much! Thank you for your artistry.

Best Uses

  • They are ornamental so they don't do much but I could almost swear she winked at me!

"Ornaments"

I bought these last Christmas to put on my mini tree. Unique, and its hard to choose which piece is my favorite. Its a toss-up between the mango and aguacate! Thank you José.

"Stunning"

These are so beautiful. I moved to another continent and where I live now, there are no hummingbirds. So this is a way for me to keep a little bit of the spirit of these beautiful animals. I love these ornaments, they are very delicate and beautifully crafted. They are also very light.
