With Affection Ornament

I love our friendship!

Brand: Willow Tree® by DEMDACO
Part Number: 26137

Celebrate the joy of friendship and the unconditional love shared with cherished companions through the Willow Tree® With Affection Ornament by renowned artist Susan Lordi. This beautifully handcrafted ornament is a smaller version of the beloved With Affection figurine (#26109), thoughtfully designed to commemorate the special relationships that enrich our lives every day.

Gracefully holding a beloved golden cat close to her heart, this ornament symbolizes loyalty, kindness, acceptance, and the extraordinary bond between people and their pets. It also celebrates those treasured friendships that bring encouragement, laughter, comfort, and unwavering support. Whether displayed on a Christmas tree, ornament stand, wreath, or incorporated into year-round décor, With Affection Ornament serves as a heartfelt reminder that the greatest gifts in life are often the people—and pets—we hold closest.

Like every Willow Tree® sculpture, the ornament communicates emotion through gentle posture rather than facial expression, allowing each recipient to find their own personal meaning. The timeless simplicity of Susan Lordi's signature style makes this ornament a touching keepsake for friends, neighbors, teachers, caregivers, and especially anyone whose life has been blessed by the companionship of a beloved pet.

Susan Lordi beautifully explains the inspiration behind this meaningful design:

"Somehow our pets sense—they just know—how we feel. And totally accept us, in whatever emotional or physical state we appear. They teach us about friendship and patience and inner peace. They support us with loyalty, softness, an independent spirit and expressive gaze. It is true that animals have a sixth sense. It is the sense of love, unconditionally."

Each Willow Tree® ornament begins as an original hand-carved sculpture by Susan Lordi in her Kansas City studio before being cast in resin and individually hand-painted. A brown elastic hanging cord allows the ornament to be displayed beautifully on a Christmas tree while also making it easy to enjoy throughout the year on an ornament stand or decorative hook.

Standing 4.5 inches tall, With Affection Ornament is a meaningful keepsake that celebrates friendship, gratitude, compassion, and unconditional love during the holidays and every season beyond.
