Angel Collectors

Sometimes words fall short. When someone is grieving, recovering, celebrating a baptism or simply needs to know they are watched over, a porcelain angel says it gently. It is the right gift for a new mom, a friend saying goodbye to a beloved pet, a godchild or a grandmother who keeps a guardian angel by the bed. It is quiet, comforting and beautiful, which is exactly what an angel should be.

Halos, Harps and Heavenly Pups

The choir is assembled. Look for angels in flowing blue gowns, some playing violins, sitting angels deep in thought, and pink and blue angels that celebrate new beginnings. Cherubs perch on hearts, with one sweetly whispering "toi et moi," you and me. There are angelic dogs and puppies for pet lovers and a rescue dog with wings that will melt any heart. A famous Renaissance sculpture of mother and son appears for those who love sacred art. Each piece is hand-painted in France, hinged and gift-boxed.

Gathering Your Guardians

Angel collectors often build their collection around life's tender moments, adding one for a birth, a loss, a recovery or a prayer answered. Display them on a bedside table, gather a choir on a windowsill where light pours through, or create a quiet corner shelf with a candle and a framed photo. Cherubs on hearts look especially lovely on a mirrored tray, and the pet angels belong next to a favorite photo of the furry friend they honor.
