Small Hand-Painted La Mano Nicho with Milagro
More Nichos
More Thank You
This lovely little nicho was hand made and painted by a traditional artist. The artist has adapted a traditional mini nicho (about 4 inches high by 4 inches wide) to feather the traditional loteria card,
La Mano
La Mano, or The Hand, might represent just about anything. Perhaps you might use this as the base for a shrine or retablo to ask in supplication for a healthier hand for someone who might suffer for arthritis. It also makes a nice thank you for someone one who might have helped you, or lent a hand. Or, maybe you are offering that help, or offering a hand to someone.
Each of the little shrines features a milagro attached to the upper concha. The nicho in the illustration features a rose milagro. All of these are painted a metallic blue on the back and a more mat shade of blue on the front and sides, with deep eggplant and white accents.
The niche door opens out in the traditional manner and is held tight by the traditional coiled tin. You might choose to change this completely and remove the loteria card. Or, indeed, you might add to it.
The niche measures 2-3/4 inches high by 2 inches wide and is about 5/8 inch deep.
All of our tin and other metal nichos from Mexico are made by hand in the traditional fashion, so please allow for the eccentricities that are the glory of such handmade items.

Milagro Gift Packet for that Special Woman or Girl
More Mother's Day
More Milagros
More Pins & Brooches
More Thank You Cards & Gifts
It is important to tell those we love how much they mean to us as often as we might! This little gift packet will help you do just that.
Each package includes a sweet pin made of a silken ribbon and a milagro of a woman's countenance. Milagros, or Miracles, found in many areas of Latin America, are charms worn or posted on a church wall to petition the saints for help or protection. The charm, or milagro, is representative of the prayer. So, this lovely female milagro represents a petition to the saints to protect your loved one.
We've made it into a simple brooch with a bow, which may be worn or simply treasured. The pin is attached to a card of handmade paper and slipped inside a square handmade paper pouch decorated with a paper button. You might choose to write a prayer, secret or thank you note on the card before you give it away.
We're also including a vintage-style die-cut tag featuring a Victorian girl and a pansy, that may accompany your little gift.
We think this quite special, as it is more than just a material gift. It is the gift of your care and love when accompanied by your special sentiment.
Ribbon color and die-cut tag may vary slightly.

Letterpress Note Card - Gracias
More Note Cards
More Spanish Items
Just a little note to say...
gracias (thank you)
And doesn't such a thank you just sound so much warmer, kinder, sweeter when said in Spanish?
We just love letterpress cards and letters. The elegance of vintage stationery is all but forgotten. We're simply delighted that some smaller companies are offering the same high-quality papers and designs with a modern touch - so we can offer them to you! The simple design represents the simple sentiment so well. And, of course, because it is letterpress, you can feel the letters with your fingers.
The 3-1/4 by 5-1/4 inch size is just what you need for those short messages and quick thank you notes. Each image is printed individually by letterpress on fine quality recycled paper and is accompanied by an appropriate envelope.

Knight in Shining Armor Charm
More Charms
More Courage & Strength
So maybe he's too hard to find in the real world. Or, maybe you found him. Or, maybe she is hiding in armor. In any case, we're pretty sure that in all of our lives that there was a time or two when we needed help. Maybe it wasn't a knight who came to the rescue, but certainly this great charm can represent that time - either for you or for your rescuer. He measures just about 1 inch high.

We Are All One Being Note Card
More Friendship
More Birds of All Kinds
More Thanks
The Gestalt philosophy of life proposes that the whole is different from, and sometimes more or less than the parts that make up that whole. When we come together as the world, or as everyday people, we come to realize that the community is so very much more than the individual. Without losing our individual identities, and by exercising the best parts of ourselves - all together, we can change the world.
So many people have changed our world - during times of happiness they shared with us. In trying times of sorrow, we've had friends, young and old, who have helped divide our pain and sorrow - sometimes by just being there.
This handsome card by artist Kiki, provides that sentiment for you to share:
Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human being upon another.
Mary Ann Evans Cross (George Eliot)
The inside is blank for your own message.
Each 5 by 7 inch card is printed on a cream 50% recycled paper with 30% post-consumer waste. It is uncoated, textured recycled paper with soy based inks, and is accompanied by a matching deckle-edged envelope for mailing.

Block Print Note card - Thank you Squirrels (with Crystal Acorn)
More NoteCards
We once lived in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area called Squirrel Hill, so, you can be assured that we are quite fond of our bushy-tailed little friends. This card certainly tickled our fancy!
Each card is printed front-and back on Italian mould-made paper using an original design from a hand-carved linoleum black, then hand-finished with Austrian crystal rhinestones. The image was inspired by Art Deco design - the first truly international style that flourished during the 1920s and 1930s.
Created by Spotbear Productions, the card measures 3-1/2 by 5-1/4 inches and is accompanied by a matching envelope. The inside is blank for your own message.

Intensive Care
The inside is blank for your own provocative message. Each 10% post consumer waste recycled paper card is packaged with a brightly tinted envelope that matches.

Letterpress Note card - Thank You with Flowers
We fell in love with the image of the flowers, being reminiscent of the early 20th century and the palest of pink accents on the flowers. The simple message:

Letterpress Note card - How far that little candle throws his beams!
More Shakespeare
We are so very fond of William Shakespeare, mostly for his sonnets. So very many wonderful everyday phrases have come from these and his plays as well:
How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
-The Merchant of Venice, Act V, scene i (Shakespeare)
Even Willie Wonka has paraphrased the Bard, and SilverCrow offers a rubber stamp that of Mr. Wonka's quote, as well - So shines a good deed stamp (D2568)?
The 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inch size is large enough for a love letter and small enough for a shy missive to your beloved. This fine note card is accompanied by a matching envelope and is printed by hand on an antique letterpress with soy ink on 100% post-consumer recycled cardstock.

The card not only features a serene painting with man and cat, reading:
There is a calmness in a life lived in gratitude, a quite joy.
- Ralph Blum
And on the inside:

Wow! It must've been hot - for the devil himself to attend! Even if you're not a witch or warlock, what a fun way to say "thank you" for an evening out or afternoon party - or, for anything that was fun to do.
