Meet Kerri!
If you are looking for artwork or need some interior design help, you can thank us now; Kerri Rosenthal is the real deal! Westport mom of three, Kerri has always been creative, but after a career in the fashion industry, she began painting post-kids, and never looked back. She recently opened her largest store yet in Sconset Square which combines all of her passions – and talents – for art, fashion, and interiors. Her favorite local restaurant is Le Penguin, she loves family trips to Sun Reflexology for foot massages, and collects cookbooks, despite claiming to be a terrible cook. Kerri shares that fear held her back from pursuing her passions for too long, and urges people to not wait! Kerri is not only talented, but warm, approachable, and values family above all else; we are lucky to have her in this community!

Meet Laura!
Laura is one of those amazing people who makes motherhood and running a company look effortless. She has 5 kids, ranging from 4 to 16, and moved to Weston from Kansas less than 5 years ago. On a 3 week trip to India last year with her best friend from college, their interest was piqued in the centuries-old Indian handicraft of wood block printing, and from that emerged their new company, Nani Pani. Nani Pani offers everything from scarves to dresses, and is unique and authentic, much like Laura. Laura’s favorite holiday is April Fool’s Day (not surprisingly, she values a good sense of humor tremendously in friends), loves the daily NY Times mini-crossword app, and is the youngest of 12 children which made for some pretty embarrassing moments as a child. Keep an eye out for Laura; she is the real deal, and visit Terrain anytime after January 22nd to check out Nani Pani’s newest line of hand block printed bandanas, designed exclusively for Terrain!
