Description
Imagine a winter evening in an old farmhouse, the year the snow came early and the youngest boy was ill. In this bedtime tale, nobody can say who left a little blue angel on the windowsill of his room. By morning his fever had broken, and the angel stayed on the sill for twenty years, watching over each child who slept there after him.
This porcelain angel carries that same protective tenderness. She is finished in a vibrant, saturated blue that ranges from sky to deep twilight, her wings folded in calm repose. Standing over three inches high, she holds small keepsakes and makes a serene presence on a nightstand or a mantel. She is a fitting gift for a christening, a confirmation, a friend recovering from illness or someone grieving a loved one, a gentle sign that they are thought of and watched over. Her face is tranquil and kind, the sort of expression that steadies a worried heart in the small hours.
