Willow Tree, Warm Embrace Ornament, by Susan Lordi, Resin, 4 Inches

<p>For holidays or for everyday, ornaments celebrate life's milestones. Give as a gift to celebrate a friendship, or for someone who simply loves flowers.</p>
<p>This ornament is a female figure in a cream dress. She is holding a large bouquet of yellow sunflowers up to her face. Made of hand-painted resin, and includes a brown elastic cord for hanging.</p>
<p>Willow Tree designer Susan Lordi says, “Warm Embrace is about what fills our senses in the summer—the feel of sunshine on your skin, the smell of freshly mown grass, the sound of insects, the taste of home-grown tomatoes—all that comes with summer. A warm embrace by family and friends can somehow, magically, provide these same sensations… no matter what time of year.”&nbsp;</p>


Willow Tree, Butterfly Ornament, by Susan Lordi, Resin, 4 3/4 Inches

<p>For holidays or for everyday, ornaments celebrate life's milestones. Commemorate a special accomplishment that will encourage, support and acknowledge individual strength.</p>
<p>This ornament is a female figure with braided hair in a cream dress. She is holding her skirt out to each side with both hands. The skirt has carved markings of a monarch butterfly. Made of hand-painted resin dotted with gold leaf, and includes a sparkly white ribbon for hanging.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Willow Tree designer Susan Lordi says, "When I think of the monarch butterfly, I am reminded of courage and strength in the face of adversity. A magical metamorphosis… from tiny egg to hungry caterpillar to brilliant chrysalis spotted with gold, the butterfly finally emerges a dazzling beauty. Delicate and fragile, yet determined and resilient, it forges its way for hundreds of miles along a migration route of obstacles and erratic weather patterns, compelled to complete its miraculous journey. I see the monarch butterfly as a true metaphor – for the desire in each of us to be our best, to live resiliently, to thrive, to make a positive difference in the world.”</p>
