The Village Green Gallery is just a few steps north of the Vermont Country Store. The last time Mr. Hunter's family stopped in Weston, we found some lovely and memorable Christmas ornaments there.
The ornaments, made by an artist named Mary Stone, are clay whistles sculpted in the shapes of different birds like snowy owls and wrens. We had to visit Village Green again to see if there were any more bird ornaments to tempt us.
Of course there were! And not only bird ornaments, but also some charming ocarina sculptures of elephants, rhinos, bears, penguins, and foxes. We headed on our way after adopting a fox ocarina, a penguin ornament, and a kingfisher ornament.
I didn't dare to put the real Mr. Hunter into the display, so Flat Mr. Hunter had to make a quick (and shadowy) appearance.
