"Reminder of a past & successful career in nursing!"
I gave this to my sister who just retired from nursing after 46 years. It was a unique & perfect gift. She was known for the nurse who wore red shoes, so I was able to paint the shoes with red fingernail polish to add one more personal touch! She displayed it on a table at her retirement party....I may be getting questions about where I purchased it; I will be happy to pass along the information about this artisan and your company site. Thank you for helping me find this unique gift.

"For the Nurse in your life"
When my daughter graduated nursing school we gave her this. It is fun and quirky but a good reminder of the work she does everyday.

"She love it"
Luckily, I found this beauty surfing the web looking for a gift for my wife for our 6-year anniversary. THIS SCULPTURE IS PERFECT since I work in a metal recycling company and our first outings were to parks.

"great gift"
This is a great gift for someone who works a lot with a computer. It is well made and fun. My one complaint is that it is described as a male executive. It should be unisex.
