New at Rufus & Ruby’s Market — Twelve Stone Art Cardinals ❤️🐦

These beautiful and meaningful pieces feature John 20:19 and are now available in all sizes. Each one is truly unique, combining faith, history, and craftsmanship.

Every piece from Twelve Stone Art includes stones gathered from the ancient city of Ephesus, the very region where the Apostle Paul lived, preached, and helped build the early church. Those historic stones are carefully incorporated into the design, creating a powerful connection to the Biblical world.

The artwork itself is designed and handcrafted in America, making each piece a special blend of ancient history and modern artistry.

With the comforting image of a cardinal and the reassuring words of John 20:19 — “Peace be with you.” these make a thoughtful gift for encouragement, remembrance, or simply to display as a reminder of God’s presence.

Stop in and see them in person at
Rufus & Ruby’s Market
Inside The Alley Marketplace
110 E. Main St., Aledo

They’re as meaningful as they are beautiful. ❤️
