Introducing Mackenzie!

Here is our latest addition to Terra Cottage!

We are very fortunate to have her.

Had she not suffered a knee injury while headed for the Olympics as an Alpine skier, she would not be with us.

Although she will still ski for her own enjoyment,

Mackenzie is a very talented artist and would like to teach Kindergarten after college. She has traveled extensively for such a young lady and has many stories to tell.

Happy Thanksgiving from our table to yours!

What do you think of our tablescape this year?

We are especially grateful to be getting it fixed today, considering that the wall would have collapsed this winter.

Thank you to all who have helped us to stay in business this year, and thank you to the wonderful doctors at the Mayo Clinic. And of course to all our loved ones for their continued support, care and concern in spite of their own struggles in this economy, we are grateful for you and feel very blessed.

Of course there is no time limit for painting and there are about 50 unfinished works in progress stored in our nooks and crannies. Wednesday night is a new watercolor night, however, it is also open studio time for the holiday rush. Not that we aren't around to accommodate anyone anytime. Here are a few more gifts heading out the door...
