"Wunderful decoration"

It is a tradition in Austria to decorate for Easter small twigs with coloured eggs. After removing the eggs I decided to decorate the twigs with this wunderful coloured birds. They are not heavy. I love them and it was heard for me to rearrange the decoration for Christmas.

"Gorgeous"

Wonderful craftsmanship. The colors are beautifully rustic and rich. I have a perfect place to display these gourds, and will have them out all year long instead of just using them as ornaments during the holidays.

"Great craftsmanship and suprisingly durable!"

Beautiful gourd ornaments. The mate gourds have quite hard and thick shells. I am sure they will last over 100 years, making them a family heirloom!
