so loved, so very loved

This was a present for me from my son's birth coach. My mom is a huge fan of this certain line of beautiful angels, there are hundreds of them. All made for different aspects of everyday life. The maker is Willow Tree by Susan Lordi. My mom has an assortment of about 12 I think, at least that is the amount that is in the living room at this time. But this is the first one I have ever had, and I love her so very much. Her name is Angel Of Mine; So loved, so very loved. I decided to edit the picture so she is the only color in it, because it seems to capture her a little better. And I also liked the contrast between her and the grain of the wood..

And this peice.. oh so very pretty. This is an authentic hand-made African sculpture. My sister was in Africa this past summer for a missionary trip with other youth. She brought this back for my mom, and I have seemed to fall in love. I just stare at it and try to imagine the person that made this.. that this was once in Africa, and that if my sister hadn't bought it, it would be in someone's home. It is definitely loved in our home, it sits up and away in a corner. You have to look in that direction to see it, and most just think it is a little nic-nak from a store. Only a select few, and those that ask, know its true origins, and I kind of like it that way. Its a hidden gem as it should be, only the special can marvel at its true beauty. And now I give you all the option to as well, but a picture only gives it so much credit, but until seen in real life and touched, you will not fully grasp its absolute elegance.

Ok all... na night!!<3
