Collection: Barrel Angels

The barrel angels are sturdy, built strong to carry important contents. Think about it. Barrels carry water through dry lands, they also collect and store water. At one time, barrels were the only way to package the household dishes for a move. Barrels contribute to the making of wine, whiskey, sherry, brandy and beer; then store the liquid until ready for distribution.

Over the years, barrels have stored gunpowder, meat, fish, paint, honey, nails and whale oil, among other things. There is evidence of barrels being used in the Egyptian culture, dating back to 2600 BC. The Romans used them as did the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. They have a very long history. Today, they are used as mentioned above as well as for tabasco sauce, Balsamic vinegar, olives

All of that to say, barrels hold important, and often, precious commodities. The Barrel Angels, holding precious gifts from God, are no different!

They make lovely gifts. When you purchase a Barrel Angel, we suggest you copy the description to remind yourself, or tell the recipient, of its purpose and bring its encouragement daily. Be blessed!
