Celebrating Saint Teresa of Calcutta {In the Loft giveaway}

saint-teresa-of-calcutta-7102

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.

  5. Ah… i figured how to leave a comment! I love these figures. Our homeschooled 17 year old daughter recently played St. Teresa in the play Malcolm and Teresa put on by our homeschool community. We made the costume together and we had to make and sew on yards and yards of blue bias tape! What a memory! This statue would be a great momento for my daughter. So fun to celebrate the canonization of this modern saint.

  7. Saint Teresa would find a welcome home in my home. I fond memories of my parents (who were not Catholic) talking about her in their living room. Thanks for the chance to win!

  12. Thanks for sharing about these lovely figures. Hopefully I can purchase one for each of my older daughters.
    In Christ,

  13. These are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I have always admired St . Teresa. The very expression of kindness.

  15. Beautiful artwork. Mother Teresa certainly deserves Sainthood. Thank you for the giveaway!

  18. I really admire Sue Dow’s handpainted wood saints – all of them. St. Teresa of Calcutta is a our newest beautiful saint and it would be wonderful to have Sue’s wooden version of her to remind us of her life. Thank you.

  21. So lovely…I have a dear friend who had her photo taken with (then) mother teresa and would love to give her this

  24. All of your work is so beautiful, Sue. God bless you for using the talents He gave you for His glory!

  25. How beautiful! I would love to have a few of these charming pieces for my home. Christmas is coming. Maybe each daughter will find one in their stockings!

  31. Sue’s simple yet deeply intentional design of Theresa is so wonderful!
    Lynn, thankful for Sue’s talented depiction of this simple woman of God who transformed many

  34. Sue puts a lot of time and love into each piece. She does beautiful work. Her pieces bless those who have them.

  41. We’ve gotten a few of Sue’s handmade saints in my family and would love to have St. Teresa of Calcutta in the collection!

  42. St. Theresa. I have prayed to her faithfully since 1990. There is no doubt when I prayed to her, a miracle happened. This piece is so lovely!

  47. My daughter would love this! The figurines are so beautiful and she is learning about the saints and was just talking about Saint Theresa, that she became a saint 19 years after her death. Perfect timing?
