For a hand made ceramic piece this has tons of detail. I was going to put it in my etsy shop, but my daughter loved it. Her fav part is the eyelashes.............It is interesting what draws us to things. I know right away if I am going to get something. First comes the rush of adrenaline and then the grab!!!! She is 18, and try as I may to block out the fact that she will one day move out, she is getting her own design style!

My Grandmother Stella May Boudreaux gave these to me. She has great taste and has a birthday tomorrow. She will be 88 years old. She is a blessing to me. I call her and my Grandpa almost everyday and have the best time chit chatting. I am 46 and still have them in my life. It is such a comfort to me to know they have each other and are there together.
