New Dad
In awe and wonder of what's to come
Your Stories 
My daughter in law's sister and her husband have been trying for two years to become parents. Finally after many invitro sessions they just had twins. I was so very happy to find the grouping "New Dad" and "Angel of mine" to buy for them.

I recently discovered i am going to be a dad, and for Father's Day my girlfriend bought me this piece. I cherish it; I have it in front of me right now. It has so much sentimental value because I can see myself holding my child just like in the statue

I bought this for my partner for Christmas after our daughter had been born. It followed our story perfectly. After having 'New Life' where my partner was holding our baby that sadly died, I wanted this where he was holding our daughter and the joy she brought to us. We finally had our little treasure.

My mum gave us this one as our first anniversary present, and ever since she has given us another with every change in our life. With our first child she gave us the New Dad; With the birth of our eldest daughter she gave us Quietly, and then she gave us Home. When our second baby girl was born four weeks early she brought me Angel of Mine. I now have three happy and healthy children. My mother continues to buy your beautiful figures for me. I am getting quite a collection which fills every corner of my house. I love them! Thank you so much for making such lovely heart warming pieces. I have given my husband and children gifts of Willow Tree, for them to take away with them when they leave home

I got this for my husband's first Fathers Day (2008). It reminded me of how he held our daughter the night we got her home from hospital after she was born. He certainly was in awe.
I plan to buy the Father and Daughter figurine for him this year. I shall have to see if he gets me the Mother and Daughter one first for Mother's Day. I think I've dropped enough hints!

At the beginning of this year our beautiful daughter was born sleeping at full term. For my husband's Father's Day this year I gave this to my husband in recognition of the eternal love he has for our spirit daughter. When he received it, he held this figurine and wept. We now have this in a special place by our daughter's photo. My husband really connected so much with this image of immense love, wonder and adoration of this tiny life.

I got this "New Dad" piece while I was traveling overseas. I was 20, alone and didn't have much money left, but when I saw it, I just knew that I had to get it or I would regret it for the rest of my life!
So, I got it and skipped eating lunch and dinner that day (well worth it). I promised myself that I would keep this piece safe in its box until I find my true love, get married and have a child. Only then would I display it in my bookshelf proudly.
Three years later and I'm still looking for "the one". I have not lost hope, not yet, that my soul mate is out there somewhere :) I'm sure of it.

My husband first noticed your "Father and Son" pieces at our local Hallmark store while we were shopping for another occasion. It was obvious he really liked them.
When Father's Day rolled around a month later, I gave my 11 yr. old son some money and told him to go to the store with this grandmother to buy a card and gift for his father.
He went back to the Hallmark store and was torn between the "New Dad" piece and the "Father and Son" piece. He only had enough money for one piece but really felt he needed to get both to express his feelings for his dad. He debated for quite some time over why he should get each one. After bringing his grandma and the store owner to tears, he managed to purchase both pieces.
Not only did the pieces touch my husband, but the sentiments they brought out in our son, touched the feelings of our entire family and the shopkeeper. This story is one to be remembered and repeated as we cherish your tender works of art. Thank you.
Sidenote: My son was offered a job by the store owner when he is of working age!
