Margarita and Martha transform dried mate gourds into six cheerful owls. One of the oldest handicrafts in the Andes, the gourds are engraved by hand. Colorful Santa Claus hats crown each one.

The natural shape of the gourd dictates size and shape, so slight variations should be expected.

    I bought these years ago. They are still in great condition and are one of my daughter’s favorite sets of ornaments to hang on our Christmas tree.

    A Very Lively Group of Owls!!!

    I wasn't sure whether these were going to be individual gifts or whether I was going to display them as a group myself. Well, they come in an ornament box with a pretty woven cord, and when you set them up on a table, you just have to giggle. They are almost but not quite identica, made with great skilll--each gourd a little taller or wider; the eyes a tiny bit larger or astonished; each has its own expression despite the uniformity. The hats and yellow loops for hanging make them even more whimsical. Great conversation pieces. I'll have to buy more to give to give as gifts. Lovely!

    Love the beautiful craftsmanship on the gourds, the detail is amazing. The typical Peruvian fabric hats are also beautiful, and include a tiny, perfect white ribbon rose on the end... enchanting!

    Adorable Christmas Tree Ornaments!

    Posted by Christine on Oct 24th 2019

    I absolutely LOVE Christmas ornaments and will buy them throughout the year. I'm getting to the stage where I will need to buy multiple trees to hold all the ornaments! I adore these and they were displayed proudly on my tree last year. They're adorable and beautifully made. I would definitely recommend.

    Adorable

    I bought 12 this year and used as decor for special packages instead of bows, also as tree ornaments, and stapled onto bags of cookies for grandchildren. Everyone was thrilled. Beautifully done - every one is an individual, with it's own fun little expression.

    Received these ornaments in perfect condition. I used them for separate gifts to my friends and family. They were astounded at their beauty, and so was I !! Just perfect! Thank you so much!
