The winners!!!

We Won!! - The Christmas tree Raffle at the Mosaic Marketplace. We were informed of our win by Ginger Mallard of Altered Wing Studios!
We took our Granddaughter, Paige Abbott to what was promoted as a: “Dickens’ themed Holiday artisan market featuring handmade, re-purposed, and vintage wares.” It was staged at Big League Dreams Redding, in the indoor pavilion. The many vendors set up their spaces with much decoration and attention to detail. Each Vendor was part of a beautiful Victorian Marketplace. They were raffling off a 7' pre-lit tree, completely decorated with 150 meticulously made, handmade ornaments; each totally unique and individualized to those who crafted it. Terry and I have not had our own tree for the last 10 years and Terry longingly looked at this ‘Masterpiece’ and bought 3 raffle tickets! Paige commented at the time: “Granny; your house is not big enough!”
The Tree touches our ceiling with more lights than we can count! We are Still in Awe of each ornament we unpack! This Christmas will be; very, very special and we thank each and every one who personally made ornaments! The Love put into each Ornament speaks Volumes of many Good Folks’ CHRISTmas Spirit and our family will feel it for years to come! Especially;This year, in that it is our 40 year wedding Anniversary on Christmas Eve.

Congrats Abbots!!! Thank you ALL for coming out and making this event amazing!!! We had a great time and hope you did too!!                Much Love! Ginger
