I asked a local artist to make this retablo. It is beautiful! Our Lady of Altagracia Retablo

I then asked her to make another including Joseph and baby Jesus, like the original. I will let you know when it is finished.

Wow - that is beautiful, Jenn. Since there aren't many OLoA images available this is such a nice addition. Looking forward to seeing the next one with Joseph and Jesus.

I love this one and St. Paschal. Both of them are hard to find, and yet, are such a beautiful part of our family because of Catholic Mosaic. Thanks for sharing.

Delightful and stunning, both at once!

Our Lady of Altagracia, pray for us

I'm so glad you shared, Jenn!! This is a stunning image! I can't wait to see the St. Joseph & baby Jesus image!

I bought one! It's so very pretty...and it is perfect for the new office space I'm setting up. It arrived very quickly, too.

I love that one too, Betsy!

I have St. Monica on my mantle. Her work is beautiful! She has many saints that are hard to find and she is working on several Marian Apparitions. Keep checking out her sight!

Hey ladies, she's finished with the print and will be posting it on Etsy this afternoon. I saw a picture of it and it looks beautiful! She worked really hard to capture the original artwork along with the artwork from the book from CM. Hope you all like it, too!

We're in the process of making an appointment for me to see it. I can't wait!

Bumping this up....

I saw these and was just taken with them. I ordered St. Cecelia for my dd, who is just learning to play the piano. It is lovely. I ordered St. Dominic Savio for my ds, and St. Pascal for the kitchen.

They arrived in only a few days, and I love them... small size with beautiful detail, and the light weight wood makes them easy to hang anywhere.

It is funny- my in-laws gave me a bit of birthday money, and I had no time to go out and shop or any idea what I wanted. Then I saw these, and I knew what to get.

I was gifted this one by my generous sister...and love it. The petite size is fitting and the handmade touches are lovely.

Love,
