Promise
Hold dear the promise of love
I carved this piece so that it could be viewed ‘in the round’. You get a different understanding depending on how you turn the piece. If you view from the side where you can see the man and woman's arms around each other, it looks like they're kissing. If you turn it and view it from where you can see their faces and clasped hands, it looks like they're dancing — and it's a totally different piece. I like this duality of interpretation.
Your Stories 
The first time we saw 'Promise', the nurses at the delivery of our daughter had taken pictures of her with the 'Promise' statue. Unfortunately, she passed away.
Our sister-in-law then bought us this piece for Christmas a few weeks later. We will always cherish this piece as a reminder of our daughter.

After many hints my husband (boyfriend at the time), bought me the "Together" figurine for our 3rd Christmas last year. After I opened it and happily displayed it on the shelf he said he saw "Promise", and that it would be perfect for our wedding cake someday. Little did he know I had already I had that in mind. I then told him they made the "Promise" as a cake topper!
It made a beautiful addition to our cake on our May 15th wedding and I will admire it everyday in my collection for years to come.

My fiance began giving me Willow Tree figurines before we even began officially dating - he gave me the full-sized "Promise" for Valentine's Day last year, and I love it. It depicts perfectly how we feel about each other. As soon as I found out about the cake topper, I couldn't imagine anything more incredible for our wedding day!

My husband and I were high school sweethearts and we married in '06. I remember we looked EVERYWHERE for a cake topper that was really *us*, online, in stores, up and down the I5 corridor, until I found this figurine (along with many other Willow Trees) in a tiny little store close to our home town. It was perfect. Heavy, but I knew as soon as I saw it that we'd make it work no matter what. I just wish the cake topper of this had been around back then! This will always ALWAYS be my favorite Willow Tree. Thank you.

My husband gave this to me for Christmas 2009. We met on a dancefloor and he told me he loved me for the first time while dancing. He often dances me around the kitchen so this was a very special piece to me. Thanks! I wish the cake topper would've been around then, I would have used it for sure!

The day I encountered this beautiful figurine I was killing time whilst waiting for an appointment. I had no intention of purchasing anything but when I saw Promise it was like something shot through my heart reminding me of a Promise from God I received in 2003. It has not yet been fulfilled and many times I begin to lose hope.
The day I encountered this figurine (and subsequently bought) was the feast of the Annunciation, a day when God's promise to the Jewiah people was fulfilled. I feel this was significant and now every time I look on the figurine my hope is rekindled. It truly is a promise of love.

I was given my first figurine, Angel of Mine, for my birthday, right after my son was born. I love it because even though it has no face, you can still see affection and love. Since then I have recieved more. After my grandmother passed away, I got her the Comfort plaque. As a Christmas gift, I got Sisters by Heart and for my first wedding anniversary I recieved Promise from my husband. I continue to love these figurines. The warmth that comes from them, and the love that came from the people who gave them to me are never forgotten. I now want to get some of the family oriented ones for my husband and myself, and I continue to give them as gifts. They are a great ways to send love without words.

I am a new collector of the Willow Tree figurines. My husband got me my first piece, "Cherish", for Christmas 2009, as we are expecting our first child in June 2010. He just got me this piece, "Promise", for my birthday. It is such a special piece to me, because it really does seem as if the artist created it specifically for us. My husband will take me in his arms like that all the time and slowly dance with me or just hold me closely. It is such a beautiful piece of art, and a sweet reminder of the love my husband and I share. I look forward to adding many more Willow Tree figurines to my collection!

I received my first Willow tree angel some years ago, I am from Chile and every time that I visit the USA I try to get a new figure for myself, or family, or friend. I just loved it! With the past earthquake in Chile I lost two of my favorite figurines "Together" and "Promise", and I hope to have them again. Every Willow Tree figurine transmits a lot of feelings and good memories. It is amazing how a piece of art brings good things into your life. Great art!

I started my collection in high school when my cheerleading coach gave me one as a 'Thank You' gift for my dedication during the season, it was the Friendship figuirine of the angel holding the cat. My love for Willow Tree started there. I received the "Promise" figurine for my bridal shower from my mother and from there my collection has grown. I now own seven Willow Tree angels, figurines, etc. and will continue buying more. I love the design of them. They are just beautiful. Keep creating beautiful pieces! Thank you!

The Promise figure which I will give to my wife on Jan 17th 2010 will stand for our promise we gave to one another 40 years ago. We have been tested many times. My wife has had back operations which landed her on disability for some time. I have been on disability for the last eleven years with many medical problems. Life is not always easy. It is what you and that special someone make of it when you make that promise.

My mom was diagnosed with Cancer in March 2009 . She has battled uphill some very tough battles lately and asked me to purchase this for a gift to my dad from her, to show him how much she appreciates his love and promise to stay by her side through thick and thin. Their love for each other has grown stronger throughout this entire trial in their lives. We have always been huge fans of what we call " Little people without a face."

Our AF son is in Afghanistan for his second deployment, this time for a year. At Christmas, halfway through, he will get a brief visit with his beautiful wife & little daughters. He writes "in my mind,we're in the kitchen fixing dinner and slowly dancing to the sounds of Norah Jones, with our little girls giggling in the background. We're holding each other and my heart fills with tears and chokes me with homesickness." I bought this statue for them.
