Beautiful Church
This was purchased as a Christmas gift after my mother dropped the church that her grandmother had given her. We wanted to get her something that would look something like her old one, but was different enough that it wasn't a replacement of the memory.<br /><br />If you want to purchase this, be aware that it is handmade, and made just for you. It will not come in two days. I ordered this on December 15 and got it on January 5th. It was worth the wait, though.<br /><br />It feels like it is made out of heavy, high-quality ceramic. It arrived very well packaged, wrapped in bubble wrap, then packed in with packing peanuts. We were a little confused at first, because it arrived in two pieces: the spire is separate. We received 2 spires, each packed into the box. One of them fit on top of the church and the other didn't. It would be a pretty easy fix to make the one that didn't fit work: just file it down.<br /><br />One complaint that I do have, although I was aware of it when the item was ordered: the windows are not cut out so that you can put a light inside. This is a minor issue, and as I said, one that I knew. Just be aware.<br /><br />My sister is supposed to paint it, and is looking forwards to the challenge. There are a lot of pretty little details, such as brickwork, a pattern across the roof, and window sills.<br /><br />Overall, I would definitely purchase this again.
