“Perfectly sized for Christmas Ornaments”

Another well-made set of African artwork to add to my cultural Christmas decor. The painted finish did need a bit of polish for the beauty of the details to shine, however.

I gave these as Christmas gifts to a business colleague. Something unique and different for those who have everything. Liked the fact they were made of wood.

“So elegant !!!”

Ive been looking at this table for awhile, it is so lovely. So when I had a discount available, I had to use it for this table. I am so glad. It is much more lovely than I expected, much heavier, also. I cherish my things that are handmade.
