"Cheerful Little Angels"
These angels are really pretty, colorful and original. They will bring a smile to whoever receive them as a gift. I own a set and have given them as a gift too. They look great on a smaller tree. You could get more for a bigger one. They would look nice on a fireplace mantle too. Enjoy Christmas with these six new friends!

"Perfect gifts for friends/family who are sick or experiencing difficulties."
These charming hand made dolls each hold a heart to accept things that the receiver is troubled by. This allows them to get much needed sleep and healing relief by turning each trouble over to one doll who clearly has a BIG HEART.
Best Uses
- Relief from worring so much

"I gave one to each member of my book club"
It really doesnt matter how old we are when it comes to wanting a good nights sleep that is worry-free.. I surprised the members of my book club and encourage them to stick their little doll in the pillowcase and sleep well from now on.
