We had such a wonderful time at our Holiday gathering December 13, it was hard to see the evening end! Great People, great food, and great conversation — what more could one ask for? ( That's me with Jane and Bill Buchsbaum, and Alan Teitelbaum, just three of the wonderful people at our party.)

And, of course, we greatly appreciate the donations and in-kind support by so many of you. Also, my most sincere thank you goes out to our hostess, Patty Newman. Thank you so much for attending and bringing joy to the Coe during this holiday season!

Please visit us again! Bring your family and house guests to see Patty Newman's donated tree of ornaments, and experience a tour of our eclectic international collection. We are open every First Friday (including January 4) of the month from 1-4 pm or you can call to schedule a private tour.

Wishing you all the very best for the holiday season

and a very happy New Year!

Sharing a Family Tradition

From Patty's Family to Yours

As Patty Newman shared at the party, the collection of over 200 ornaments began years ago with her granddaughters. She asked the little girls to each pick three ornaments, made by local native artisans. This quickly became their annual tradition.

Thanks again to Patty for donating the wonderful collection which supports artists and brings joy to so many.

The tree, which was decorated by our Hands-On high school student curators and Coe Fellows, will be up through 12th Night, so please visit us on First Friday (January 4) or call for a private tour (505-983-6372).
