Neither can we ! !

Seeds of Thought

Guest artist Ellen Sachtschale

calls her organic ceramic creations

       'Seeds of Thought' (larger, with bead)

and

'Seeds of Gratitude' (smaller, sans-bead).

Seeds of Gratitude

Each seed comes with ribbon of

artisan paper, wound around

cinnamon stick, upon which you 

can write notes of thanks and support 

to special folks in your life.

A portion of proceeds from your purchase

goes toward meals for the hungry.
