Exceptionally Beautiful!
We ordered the entire set this year. Each one is exceptionally crafted in fine detail like a storybook. Both sides are detailed and the ornaments have a good weight to them. Our family loves to look at these and they are a special tradition of our family to have Danforth ornaments.
