Crowned at last..................



My Santo de Bastidor has a pair of beautiful golden wings................you may have seen them displayed during the Christmas season.


Christmas 2010


A few weeks ago while 'treasure hunting' with friend Vanessa, she took me to a favorite antiques shop in, of all places, a shopping mall.  It is a smaller mall, older and full of one off shops, not a lot of national retailers.  This shop has some wonderful treasures and on a table there were several Santo figures, some larger than mine, all wearing beautiful crowns. I've been searching so long for a crown to fit mine and was thrilled when I spied just one small one, made of metal and set with tiny glittery stones.  

Of course I had to have it....................I think it's perfect.  My serene Santo with the friendly, calming smile is crowned at last.
