I was given a Willow Tree Angel several years ago as a gift. I fell in love with it and now have 36 of them. My kids all have my list of the ones I have and the ones I would like to have and they buy them for me for Christmas, birthdays, etc. Last year my three kids and their spouses all went together and bought me the nativity set which is my prized possession. This year, April 7th, my husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and my son and his family bought us the Promises Angel and it was mounted on a base that said "Carl and Tresa, 4/7/62." What a very special gift that was and it is front and center of my collection. Please keep the angels coming. They are cherished by me.
I started buying Willow Tree for my wife Leela for birthdays etc. She really loved the pieces and how significant each piece was to us and our life together. Sadly Leela passed away in November 2009 from cancer very shortly after diagnosis. We have a daughter Olivia who was just 2 and a half years old when Leela died and I have continued to collect them for her now as she likes them also. I've just bought her the Nativity and the 3 Wise Men, and also a few other pieces that will go on display also. They are a constant reminder to me of my lovely wife and the happy times we shared when she received them. Thank you Susan for your extreme skill and thoughfulness in your choice of wording and title for the sculptures.
