Only 3 Left! Segmented Wood Vases

by talented Hubby Don

In case you missed it...brand new designs by my talented hubby Don Groesser! These open weave segmented "vases" come with a glass insert for use with either fresh or silk flower arrangements. Instead of flowers, you can also use a battery operated candle inside for a truly beautiful effect, making these pieces a versatile addition to your home! These are the last three available... click here to see all of Don's beautiful wood pieces currently available in the gallery!

"Faith, Hope and Healing" Prints

to support Project Pink'd

From now until Christmas, 25% of the profits from the sale of prints of "Faith, Hope and Healing" (pictured here), will be donated to Project Pink'd, a local nonprofit which provides help and support to breast cancer warriors. This piece has very special meaning to me personally through my own breast cancer journey. Click HERE to read the full story behind this painting. There are three different sizes of prints available: 24x18, 16x12 and 12x9. For more information and to order, please click HERE. We do have a very limited number on hand but if we need to special order, please allow 2 to 3 weeks time.

Ralston Arts and Creative District Fundraiser

This collection of framed prints were donated to the Ralston Arts and Culture Commission by 1st State Bank in Ralston. They are being sold here with all proceeds supporting arts and cultural events in Ralston. The majority of the prints are by Susanna Kocsis, a long time Ralston school district resident and member of St Gerald Catholic Church. Susanna bravely fought breast cancer twice. Her inspirational journey with the disease ended in June of 2020. There are also four prints by Debra Joy Groesser in this collection. All of these framed prints are being offered at well under retail price. A few of the frames do have scratches that have been filled but may be still slightly visible. Click here to see the complete collection. *These are not included in the 25% holiday sale discount.
