Sorry that I haven't posted anything in a while, but my internet was down. Today I am sharing a new item from this week's paper called Heaven Shone Its Love On This Pair Of Doves, from Precious Moments. This should be good.
Apparently, the statue is based on a china pattern called Blue Willow, and the pattern was "based on the timeless story of starcrossed lovers who are turned into doves because their love is pure and true." Uh- huh.
"The legendary doves appear on her skirt and - in fully sculpted form- on her hat and hand." "Her hat is also adorned with a sparkling gem and real feathers, while her sash is a real satin ribbon." The figure is "glazed just like Blue Willow china" (what is Blue Willow?) and "handcrafted and handpainted."
I am in awe of the people who buy this. You have to be a really caring, trusting, mushy person to feel the sentiment in this object. Are you one? Then go on, good fellow, and buy a lot of these $29.99 figures to give to people and share the joy! Some people might slam the door in your face, but who cares? Perhaps lives will be touched at your kind sentiment!
Seriously, someone needs to send this to that Delilah woman on the radio and see what see thinks of this. I'm willing to bet that she'd love it.
If you'd like a Heaven Shone Its Love On This Pair Of Doves for your very own, the look for it at The Hamilton Collection. Does this statue touch you, or is it just crap?
I had a "blue willow" tea set when I was little. I dropped the teapot and it cracked.
