"Karen grew up in a big old house in Iowa, and she brought these home with her after her mother died. Even after we moved to Washington, she always kept part of her Iowa connection with her. She liked collecting figurines when we�d go on our trips. She loved the country, and she loved cats. We have two cats now." --Peter Batacan, husband
