Now that I am living in a State where we have a serious winter, I thought I should give this State some credit and came up with a design that reflected my respect.  There is a snowshoe on one of the ornaments and the other ornament has a Christmas tree.

I originally designed one of these ornaments and painted it on a resin sand dollar and wanted to make it available as a pattern and ended up designing two more ornaments to go with it!  Don't these just make you smile?  These (I think) are really so cute and I hope you think so too!

I was inspired to design these ornaments after hearing one of the songs from the Sound of Music, My Favorite Things, written by Richard Rodgers.   I decided to use the star cut out shapes as they are readily available and usually very low cost.  The front and back of each star is painted and stenciled which is a feature I really like – an extra step, but really nice!

I have always loved lambs/sheep and when designing Christmas tree ornaments, the first thing I thought of was how do I incorporate sheep into the designs.  This is what I came up with.

Is this the cutest ornament ever or what?  The snowie is doing something I am sure everyone who has ever experienced snow has tried... to catch a snowflake on their tongue!  I saw them and had to make them.  Each ornament is sculpted out of air dry clay, painted, sealed, glittered with snow to within an inch of its existence and then an eye screw and ornament hanger installed.  These are designed by Nichola Battilana, a wonderful clay artist.  The ornament are shipped in a 4x4x4 inch box!  This would make such a wonderful gift for someone who collects ornaments, for anyone who loves snow and snowy items or anyone who likes to smile.

The ornament is $8.00 each.   If you wish to purchase more than 1 ornament, please send me an email so I can let you know what the new postage and total will be!   Thanks!

The weight of the ornament is 0.5 ounces and the shipping will be determined for the total weight for shipping.

Yes, I know this is not a Christmas ornament and is a pin but I thought it was close enough! I guess you could even hang it on a Christmas tree?  They are really cute, are made of wood with pin back and are hand painted by me. 

These would be great for the cat lover you know, for teacher's gifts, Halloween and so much more.

The pin measures 2" x 2" and would be shipped either in an envelope (padded hopefully) protecting the pin.  I will take just the same amount of care shipping my ornaments as I would any of the products I sell.

Thank you for shopping with us and hope you come back and see us anytime you have the time!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

I am starting to see Christmas ads and that has me exited - excited to be creating wonderful Christmas ornaments just for you!

These ornaments are so sweet - lovely bumble bees decorated with a wonderful Christmas wreath and sparkled with "fairy dust"!  

They are made by me from air dry clay and hand painted, glittered with fairy dust and sealed with an glossy acrylic paint medium.  Each ornament has a black and white Baker's twine ornament hanger, so they are ready for your tree!  Really, they are so cute and would be perfect for that special friend who is an avid gardener!

They are 2 1/2 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide.

The bee will be packed in a small box to keep it safe for travel with room for more than one bumble bee, should you choose.  Of course, the shipping will may be more than the shipping for only one and you will be charged accordingly.

Christmas is coming!  I love this time of the year, don't you?

This ornament is a combination of a fir bough, cranberry colored shaped dots and a lot of glitter!  The base of the ornament is air dry clay which I prepped, outlined into the clay, hand painted and then let a "glitter" bomb land on the front and back of each ornament.  I pictured it hanging on the tree and the tree lights bouncing off the glitter and I was hooked and I made it happen!  

The ornament measures a little more than 3 inches top to bottom and almost 3 inches wide.  I have included a red and white hanger of baker's twine.  

Great care will be taken to ensure that the ornament arrives at its destination all in one piece!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Christmas is coming! I love this time of the year, don't you?

I designed, shaped and hand painted each teeny gingerbread man and then sealed each with a glossy varnish and attached baker's twine to each ornament. These two pieces are sold as a set.  Wouldn't this be a sweet gift for a teacher or daycare worker or just so many other suggestions.  

Each ornament is almost 2 inches tall and 1 1/2 inches wide.

Great care will be taken to ensure that the ornament arrives at its destination in one piece!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

After all the years I have made and sold ornaments, I have not gotten tired of making snowmen ornaments!  There are so many different ways to make them and each one is adorable (at least to me).  

I designed these snowmen to be pretty plain but "jazzed" them up with a flashy scarf and 3 red heart buttons and I cannot forget the fairy dust - front and back!  They are made with air dry clay, hand painted after the clay is dry, sprinkled with fairy dust and then adorned with a shiny silver scarf.  Also, did you notice the carrot nose?  

Each snowie measures  3 1/2" x 3".

Great care will be taken to ensure that the ornament arrives at its destination all in one piece!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
