"Whimsical and intricate"
These book ends are whimsical rabbits, but the hand-painted designs on them are much more intricate and beautiful than I expected. I was so pleased with them.

"Lovely for all seasons"
These heart ornaments are so pretty that they can be displayed year round. I purchased them before Christmas and placed them on my tree. The hearts are a beautiful work of art with dragonflies and flowers. Love them!!
