Oh, this is so sweet! There is nothing nicer then children's toys, and what a lovely remembrance of your visit you left in the guestbook. Very well written, and full of the joy of childhood, at any age.

This is truly beautiful. What a lovely note to leave - from one artist to another. Well done!

perfect
wooden toys bring so much fun memories of times for me... it is true, the warmth of the toys made of wood..how could any child with imagination ever get that same feeling from plastic or computer games? well done on bringing out the 'real' warmth of a winter with the balance of frost in the cedars and the handcarved simplicity of a keepsake toy here. just perfect images
