"Enchanting"





This wonderful heart is just breathtaking, for any time of year. I sent it to MYSELF, as I am a widow and felt sure my husband would want me to have it. ;-) Im so glad I did! It is hanging on my office wall, and I cant stop looking at it. The craftsmanship is superb. One small comment: it is smaller than I had anticipated, but thats fine. It is delicate, beautifully made, and perfect.

"Heart Shape Makes it Perfect for Valentines Day"





Since becoming a customer at Novica, I have become a fan of the charming Guatemalan Worry Dolls. So imagine how happy I was to discover that they are being crafted into wreaths by artisan Elias Garc?a. I immediately ordered this one and it hangs beside our front door to commemorate St. Valentines Day in February and love anytime. The bright, cheerful colors and the solemn little faces on this piece assure that I wont have a worry in the world this year!

"Cheerful"





Nothing prepared me for how bright and cheerful this is in person. Dear to note: the dolls all cross hands. It is light enough to be hung up with a pin or hang off a lamp knob. Thank you ??

"Love worry dolls!"





I love worry dolls and have given several as gifts. When I saw this wreath, I had to buy it, and I wasnt even sure where I would hang it. Its one of several treasures that hang over our bed. It was delivered to my workplace and my coworkers demanded the Novica web page that showed more worry doll products. Thank you!

"Beautifully made, worthy of its place on my shelf!"





When we do house swaps, it really looks as though I am a world traveler. I have decorated an entire shelf with the set of boxes and worry dolls along with this worry doll mirror. Together the mirror and the worry dolls look just beautiful!!! Of course, the mirror would stand alone all by itself!!!!!

"Family Heirloom"





I am passing on a tradition that began with my grandmother. She began a collection of Worry Dolls for me, with the advice that I let the dolls carry all of my worries. I am passing on the dolls and the advice to my own granddaughters. This beautiful piece is a source of strength as well as joy. Barbara McLoone
