2/23/2012	these throws are delicious. i used to buy them locally but the store stopped carrying them. i tried to buy them from the company directly, but they wouldnt sell to regular people just stores. i was thrilled when i saw you carried them! over the years, ive had over a dozen id say, and when they get old my dogs get them, and they adore them too. please dont ever stop carrying them!!!!!! thanks.
2/22/2012	This is a precious Stephen Joseph backpack in all vinyl, which makes it easy to clean! My 3 year old has developed a love of Owls, and it perfectly suited her taste. The monogram is a precious added touch, and the backpack is the perfect size for her. I am so glad I found porterhousecrafts.com during my specific search for an Owl Backpack!
2/22/2012	I’ve purchased several of these backpacks because they are so cute! But, they are also very durable and of high quality. I personalized them and I have been very pleased with the look, quality and durability of the personalization also!!

Item Information: A graceful design that captures the romance and splendor of the Far East. Inspired by traditional Asian design, our Emperor Series offers wonderful sound and is intended to reflect balance, harmony, grace and beauty. Chinese instrument makers have made gongs for thousands of years and are deserving of their reputation of making the best in the world. Many processes go into creating the special sound of a Chinese Gong, including fine toning as a result of hand-hammering. In Buddhism, the gong is sounded at the start and end of each day. In Chinese temples, gongs are struck 108 times because it’s believed that sentient beings have 108 types of worries. The teaching is this - upon hearing the gong, worries will cease, wisdom will grow. Nothing has the ability to transport us to another time and place quite like the brilliant resonance of a gong. For over a thousand years, gongs of various types have played an important role in both the religious and secular music of many Asian cultures. Gongs were sounded to chase away evil spirits, warn of invading armies, heal the sick and invoke the spirits of the dead. To be touched by a gong was said to bring happiness and strength. Today, this revered instrument of warriors, emperors, princes and priests adds a special aura to any setting. Handcrafted using traditional methods, Woodstock Gongs brings the ancient wonders of the Far East home.

Sizing: 23 in. Overall Length, 6 in Diameter Gong
