Elias Garcia is a very hardworking person. From the age of 14, he began to take interest in getting ahead on his own merit. Today, alongside his sister and wife, he strives to have a better future and be able to provide the best for his four-year-old son.

I was born in 1989 in San Lorenzo el Cubo, the youngest of seven children. I had a wonderful childhood but, at a certain age, one gets to the point where they are interested in having their own money. I began to work at the age of 12. At first I tried masonry, and then carpentry, where I learned on my own. I worked in two different workshops. At the age of 16, I knew everything I needed to know, and I bought my own tools in order to begin. Unfortunately, finding work was hard, so I started my own workshop.

My sister, Aura, was already working with you. She gave me a small push to present my own design. I work alongside my beloved wife, Jackeline, my faithful companion and my best friend who has never left me alone in any challenge that I decided to take on. Together, we began to design mirrors and other things. Little by little, through trial and error, we managed to create other designs, and we presented them to you.

These mirrors are primarily for people to have in their homes so that they can use them to get ready for work and going out. But, we wanted to do it with vibrant and happy colors that would infect the people that had them in their homes. If they had a bad day, are sad, or depressed, this can cheer them up.

We are very fortunate to be able to share our art with so many people. Not only do we want to be known, but we also want the power to provide a bright future for our son as he begins to discover life. We want to be able to give him everything that we didn't have growing up. Because of this, we put all of our dedication into our work so that our designs will be pleasing to everyone.

a long time ago a beautiful little girl was part of my life. Evey night when I tucked her in, I'd put her worry dolls under her pillow. Although she is not a daily part of my life anymore, I knew when i saw this I had to get it. I was so happy she loved it. Thank you for this beautiful piece that allowed me to connect again with someone who meant so much to me.

Elaine

This was a gift for my granddaughter about a year ago. She adored it andhung it on her wall above her bed. This year she went away to college andtook this wreath with her! She said it made her feel loved. It now hangs onthe door to her dorm room, and is a way to make friends for her since allthe girls on her floor want to ask about it and comment how much they love it. It has become a way for her to show the kind of sweet person she is.

This heart of worry dolls, is hanging just outside my Giuseppe room. They are to leave their worries with the dolls,, before entering the bedroom. Sleep, peacefully, and be refreshed. It looks so sweet, on the wall. It’s also unique!

Peggy

Bought as gift for sister. She loves it and so do I. So colorful just beautiful.

Randy

Covid-19 required us to make changes in our lives and one change was more uncertainty about the future. As we travel through this world it is easy to get caught up in the uncertainty and worry about the future, so I thought this heart worry doll wreath would help us remember that worries are not life giving. If we give up our worries and concentrate on the hope that lies within us we can traverse our journey with gratitude and anticipation. We love the heart shape of this wreath and the worry dolls remind us that worry is not our focus in life, it is blessing and giving life to others.

Ericha

This was a sentimental Christmas gift for my daughter. Better than I even hoped, she loved it.

Mikayla

We use this as a Valentine’s Day wreath for our front door.

Carol

My granddaughter loved this heart wreath. I gave it to her during the pandemic at Valentines' Day. It was wrapped beautifully and came with an extra "worry doll" on the bow on the package. This piece is exquisite and now adorns the wall in my granddaughter's bedroom year round.

Emily

Exceptional craftsmanship, vibrant colors, gorgeous textiles. Obviously made with great care. Gave one to a friend, who was feeling blue, she wrote two separate notes of appreciation of how it lifted her spirit! Winner!!

Heather

This arrived packaged securely and carefully in eco-friendly paper, and had the nicest postcard and message to me handwritten! As a child, my parents would bring me back worry dolls from Central America and taught me to tell them my worries and put them under my pillow at night. Finding this product was beyond incredible/symbolic and I still believe in the worry doll magic (legit or not.) This is GORGEOUS front and Back! An absolute gem!

Christine

Darling and well made!

Jan

Beautifully crafted! I have it in my family room and my grandchildren love it as much as I do. I highly recommend this lovely heart wreath!

This was a wonderful gift and looks beautiful hanging on the wall. Mine came in a different color but it's perfect for my room. See photo attached. It is well worth the money and I feel it's for a good cause. You will not be disappointed.

Christine

This little heart wreath is by my door, right over a small mirror, so people can see themselves and the dolls and remember things are good and blessed and we have no need to worry, but just trust and b e at peace. I love every bit of this, so well made, and the message and care that went into making it.

During this time of social distancing with the covid19 pandemic, I've done a lot of worrying about the health of my family & friends, as well as myself. When I saw this worry doll heart wreath I knew I had to have it. I will turn over some of that worry to these dolls to lift my spirits! It is beautifully made and a delight to have hanging in my home. Special thanks to Elias Garcia who made my wreath! I love it!

I am passing on a tradition that began with my grandmother. She began a collection of "Worry Dolls" for me, with the advice that I let the dolls carry all of my worries. I am passing on the dolls and the advice to my own granddaughters. This beautiful piece is a source of strength as well as joy.Barbara McLoone

Valerie

So cute with the colorful Guatemalan fabric.

This wreath is beautiful and so well-made. I bought it to replace a wreath I had bought on a trip to Guatemala many years ago. The heart shape is adorable and the worry dolls are so cute. I love what they symbolize. Every time I look at this wreath, I smile. No worries!

I just received this lovely worry doll wreath and I am totally impressed with the workmanship. The wreath is a nice small size.It is very colorful. I will be hanging it on my door and I expect to get many compliments from my neighbors.

This wonderful heart is just breathtaking, for any time of year. I sent it to MYSELF, as I am a widow and felt sure my husband would want me to have it. ;-) I'm so glad I did! It is hanging on my office wall, and I can't stop looking at it. The craftsmanship is superb. One small comment: it is smaller than I had anticipated, but that's fine. It is delicate, beautifully made, and perfect.
