Friday's Free-4-All

I really love this guy...



He was a splurge a couple years ago, and I'm so glad 
I chose to bring him home.  He's bigger than this pic 
shows...about 20" tall.  And, the intricate carving is 
really so amazing.



Do you see why he's a fave?






and then, she {snapped}



He even has that "heirloom" quality, and thankfully, the
boys love him.  Here's hoping he stays in the family for
many, many generations.

I love carved wooden figurines like this and I am sure it will become an heirloom in your home Dina. Our Nativity set was bought in Bethlehem and all carved from Olive wood.

Wonderful detail in the piece. I have to agree with the others that mentioned your DOF, that really helps add to the beauty of the photo
