Humor and individuality are expressed in "Pinto Pony, Life is a Carrot!" Sculptures are individually formed with red tile clay from "the ground up" using a combination of coil, slab and pinch clay techniques. Artist Linda Brewer then adorns them with horsehair, wire, feathers, and anything else that works to complete their personality. These cute ponies, original art, custom framing, and master crafted gifts are available at the Raintree Gallery & Framing in The Historic Old Depot, 110 Frankfort St., Versailles KY. 873-8822.

Yeah, Christmas has gotten a little commercial. But it's not about the buying, it's about the giving.

Sure, you could brave the uncertainty and insecurity of the online shipping world, or fight the mall traffic.

Or, might we suggest, you take your wallets and purses to some of the local shoppes and stores, as featured in this year's Holiday Gift Guide - many of which are locally-owned and operated.

You'll find treats for all your loved ones, even the ones you don't really love but are staying with because you're too afraid to find another relationship. That's how good the Gift Guide is. Trust us. We trust you.

Happy holidays.
