“Beautifully made!”

In love with this little tecolote! Although it traveled far, it was packaged with care and arrived in one piece. Now I want one in every color!

“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!
