"Perfection!"

Just a stunning piece of work. I will say this is my second purchase from these artisans and they both are perfect and beautiful. Do to the gourd in the center I have decided to hang it. These are so nice would make great gifts. Extremely happy with my purchase.

"Beautiful!"

I will say the this daffodil star is not only beautiful but is made with perfection. I also like that you can hang it up as well. I have a lighter yellow kitchen and I have it hanging in there. Exceptional work. Love it!!

"Beautifully made"
