A gift to celebrate new beginnings, new babies, new families and the loving relationships that develop between siblings, parent and child, grandparent and child Willow Tree is a reminder of someone we want to keep close, or a memory we want to touch. Hand-carved figures reveal their expression through body gestures only a tilt of the head, placement of the hands, a turn of the body. Each piece is designed to be open to interpretation from the viewer. Willow Tree isn't so much about the tangible piece. It represents an emotion, or it marks a memory. Susan Lordi. A gift of Willow Tree communicates beyond words.

Our pets become much more than pets to us... they are constant companions, best friends, playmates, therapists, and always, always by our side, on our lap, at our feet.

The hidden gift of cheerful and sunny wildflowers are a metaphor for the friendships that brighten our lives daily.

Good Cheer! Wishing you sunny days of happiness. We often offer wishes for much happiness to those we care for and about; friendly intentions given with joy and hopefulness. Good Cheer reflects a sentiment of positive enthusiasm with its big bouquet of sunny yellow roses--symbolizing friendship, optimism and well-being. It's the color of choice for friends who have achieved a goal, need a little lift or wholehearted acknowledgement, or for those who simply brighten our day! By Susan Lordi. 5.5" H

Shine. You have a radiant inner light. "I was sculpting this piece at the time of the Winter Olympics. I was inspired by the strength and perseverance of young female competitors in figure skating, snowboarding, skiing... their confidence exudes with every gesture and movement, literally shining with happiness and pride. We all have the capacity to shine from within, so I wanted this figure to be a reminder of our own inner strength. "Shine could be a congratulatory piece for a milestone reached, or a healing piece to show support and belief in someone. I wanted the form to be visually uplifting... a little reminder of personal goals, met. I embellished the surface with gold to suggest inner light and energy." By Susan Lordi. 8" H
