Perfect Christmas gift”

Purchased these as a Christmas gift for a friend, whose Palm Springs home is a haven for hummingbirds. She loved the vivid colours, unique patterns and being able to support local artisans.

Beautiful Stars!”

I love the bright colors and fun patterns of these stars. They are carefully painted, not sloppy. They were very well packaged for shipment from Guatemala. I would buy them again as great Christmas gifts.
