Dear Mr. Rasool - We purchased your soapstone turtle pair and cannot say enough about your talented artistry. The turtle is my favorite creature, and I buy many items with the turtle: for wisdom, longevity, its beauty and playful shyness. A turtle represents that is is good to 'stick out your neck a bit," while being able to retreat to safety - I learned that by watching these amazing creatures, I am like the turtle. Thank you, thank you, thank you for you talent, artistry, and passion. Thank you for being a "turtle" yourself as well, by selling your gloriously created items. Our next purchase from you will be the "Mother Owl." a mother watching over her owlet. May you and your family be blessed with happiness, health, and prosperity! Kind regards, Maggie and Karl Buchmann
