“I love this little kitty.”

I love this kitty. I wish I could purchase the dog right now. And a horse and a whole bunch of them.

“Calming Affect”

Love this sculpture and beautifully crafted. The grains of the wood stand out and enhances its presentation. As displayed, it has a calming affect and helps to reduce stress whenever I look at it. Just the right size to fit anywhere and not too small to detract from its detail. The cats eyes are what drew me to this sculpture from the outset.

As displayed, help to brighten any room
