You are an inspired minimalist, Katherine – as opposed to that stuff that is….minimally inspired. We have been to Sonderborg and have long time friends in Augustenborg on Als. Perhaps we will drive across the bridge someday and visit your gallery! – Chuck and Heidi
PS – thanks for visiting our blog.
