It is always a pleasure to meet with Luca from the DeCarlini workshop and today was no exception. Luca’s family owns over 3,000 designs so he has a large “catalog” to select from. This year, he brought a group of ornaments that were not shown last year.
He is allowing us to select another group of whimsical Italian designs that you will be able to pre-order for fall delivery. I took photos and will upload them as soon as they are edited. Based upon your requests as well as the most popular style of the sample ornaments we’ve been selling, Margaret & I narrowed our choices to nursery rhyme & fairy tale characters as well as those feathery ladies that you seem to love so much!
Luca was offering an Italian version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. As Margaret instructed me, you can’t have Snow White without all of the dwarfs! So, we have them all available for pre-order and you can decide which ones you “need”! This is the only little guy that I had time to edit this evening.
He did not have as many “ladies” as last year … but of course, we selected the very best of those on display. AND, we selected a lovely Nativity finial with a tall, delicate spire.
More later … still LOTS of news to report!
