Elephants walk in grace!

The work involved in making this has to come from the heart. I'm so grateful to the family who does this work. I was able to gift this to a dear friend with a soft spot for elephants. It's a beautiful work of art.

Love his boxes!

These puzzle boxes are beautiful and fun, I love to give them as gifts and hide a little something extra inside! The box makes a great gift alone, but adding a little surprise inside is fun.

Beautiful Handiwork!

Product picture

This box is absolutely beautiful and even though it is in the form of a puzzle in four pieces for opening, it is easy to come apart with little effort. It has been very well crafted and was very well packaged. The only issue was the length of time it took to arrive. I am extremely happy and this will be a treasured addition for my altar.
