“Love my lucky dragonfly!”

I have purchased two of these now - the artwork and carvings are amazingly beautiful, such detail. I have one and I gave my sister-in-law one (who has cancer) one - she loves dragonflies and it really brightened her days. Thank you so much - they are making us smile everyday!
