"Beautiful!"

I come from a large family but still like to share gifts at Christmas. These are the perfect solution. They come as a set of six so theres one for everyone. The painting one each one is unique, detailed and ever so colorful. A reminder in my family that life is beautiful but fleeting. Shine on Shelley!

"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.
