Birthday gift for a best friend who is devout. She called me this week to let me know her gift arrived and was nicely wrapped. She said it was beautiful and she loved the vibrant colors. She had already chosen the perfect location for it on her bedroom wall. I've started checking Novica's artisan creations each time I want to make a gift purchase for a friend or family member. The items are unique, gorgeous, and well-made.
I wanted a feminine, delicate-looking (yet sturdy) parasol to wear with Regency period costume. This fit the bill perfectly, and also looks smashing with modern-day clothes. And, of course, it keeps my fair skin cool and shaded from the summer sun.
Adds colorful interest (though no birds liked it this summer)
The gourd adds some color to my green trees in the summer and is constructed well with good design. I put it out in the spring but no birds made it their home...it may just be the types of birds in my area. It stood up well to the seasons' sun, wind, and rain so I look forward to hanging it again next year.
