“Sacred Dome of Light”

It was delivered packaged secure and tried to take a picture but unsuccessful but it was perfect everything. The most touching part was the next day with I lit it with a darker room I noticed the lovely Star/Moon/Sun reflected on the wall behind it. It was fabulous and thank you Putu and your mother for the support.

For self use but would give this as a gift at a later time

“Years of enjoyment”

I purchased this wee turtle set years ago and still love it as much as I did when I first opened the box. They are kept near my sink for tiny treasures and always make me smile.
