“Beautiful and Meaningful Owl”

This owl caught my eye from the moment I saw it. Although smaller than expected,it is still something I cherish. Only concern is that the back of the owl is full of scratches. A bit disappointing. But I love it, nonetheless. Thank you, artist and Novica.

“These Eclipse Ornaments Remind Me Of My Son”

My son passed away in an accident in August 2023. He loved astronomy and had a telescope he loved to share with us. He wasnt here on earth to see the two eclipses last year, but I know he had a marvelous view of them from heaven! These ornaments will always remind me that he is still with us and is busy exploring the wonders of the universe!
