ORIGINAL and most beautiful gifts for your family, Shannon
Thanks, Archie!
Wonderful painting. Thank you!
I know! Name recognition goes to the carvers, but the painters (mostly women) are equally deserving.
Simply beautiful! What a lucky family you have!
Thanks, Sylvia! I’m pretty lucky to have them. 😉
Hey Shannon, this idsDale. I was at “Casa Crespo” in March and we talked on my last day there while we were both gift shopping for alebrije. gotta say i love your choices….should have gone with you 🙂
Hi Dale. Actually, I bought the owl and rabbit for my son and daughter-in-law 6 or 7 years ago and the lion was a 1st birthday gift to my grandson 5 years ago. It was the horse I was shopping for when you saw me. I ended up going to San Martín Tilcaje to find it!
beautiful; they will love them
Thanks Connie. I think they do!
