Celebrating Saint Teresa of Calcutta {In the Loft giveaway}

My little girls have a small, beloved collection of Sue Dow’s hand painted wooden figures.  Each of them also has a wishlist of those they would like to add to their collections.  They fussed at me recently when Sue sent me St. Teresa of Calcutta and I told them that she was for me!  I love St. Teresa as so many do, and I am excited that Sue has added her to the saints in her shop, In the Loft.  I think most of you who read my blog regularly know Sue’s work, but if not, you can read more about her and her art here.

  10. These are incredible! I just found out half my family is Catholic (I was not raised Catholic)! No wonder I’m so intrigued by Catholicism.

  13. “Let no one ever come to you without leaving better & happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.” from Saint Theresa. I love her and your dolls are so lovely.

  14. It was a joy to see Mother Teresa become St. Teresa. She was a giving and loving soul to all she met. I love the kindness that always showed in her eyes. We are blessed to have seen her work in our lifetime.

  17. This reminded me of a sermon a visiting priest gave where he asked us who our saint was. He gave many examples of why we needed a saint to pray to in our life. I was moved when he asked the congregation on how many had a saint and then asked if that saint had come thru/spoke to them in difficult times. I don’t really have one saint, but I have a few that I am partial too, just depends where my need is at the time.

  18. I don’t think I had heard of these before, but what a lovely thing they are. They look as if they would fit just right into the palm of the hand.

  20. Her figures are so beautifully detailed! I’ve admired her work via IG just haven’t had the budget. So thank you for the chance! Also, love St. Teresa!

  27. Wow, what beautiful little figures! I think we’ve all been looking forward to her canonization since her passing, such an amazing woman. ❤

  35. Wow, this is beautiful! What a lovely rendering of Mother Teresa. Thank you for the chance to win her! What a thoughtful giveaway!

  37. I would love to win St. Teresa of Calcutta. I have been following her on IG for awhile. She is a talented artist. Thank you for this opportunity!?

  43. So awesome! We’re studying St. Teresa of Calcutta in our RE class (our theme is “I thirst”), and she would be a fantastic addition to our prayer table!

  46. Oh I LOVE St. Theresa of Calcutta! She is one of my favorite saints. This would be a wonderful starting point for collecting these figures!

  49. These are just beautiful! We have some saint peg dolls, but these are just so much more detailed and truly works of art. We would love to add St. Teresa of Calcutta to our collection!
