This was a gift for my father and stepmother's 24th anniversary. I sent it to them and it arrived on the very day. They both love artisan objects and can greatly appreciate articles made by hand. They were both overwhelmed with gratitude for the beautiful gift! It is a one of a kind piece of artwork which will stand in their home as a symbol of my appreciation of their love for each other! Thank you so much for your exquisite work! Bettina Jensen
