“Sweet Distinctive Pooches”

Very cute individualistic puppers that would delight any dog lover. Useful just as decorations or on a Christmas tree. Mr. Mehtas felt works are always amusing and well received.

“Cute and Well Made”

I hang Mr Mehtas felt ornaments at the bottom of our Christmas tree, so our cats have something they can touch safely. They hold up well and people comment on how cute they are. This set are a lively flock of birds. I plan on sharing some with friends for their birthdays or holidays. Mr. Mehtas felt animals are so distinctive. Lovely!
