Debbee Thibault Ornament Prototypes


Debbee sent me images of her 12 ornament prototypes last week while I was completing the Celebrate365 layout. I edited all of the photos for her, so you may be seeing them online at her web site. I’ve also provided the jpgs to Kitty’s Ltd in Delaware.

Debbee talks about the origins and inspiration behind Baby Christmas Angel in the Summer issue of C365 which will be mailing next week.

Here’s a preview … and it’s one of my personal favorites.

Patricia Breen Mini Surprise Egg, HCB

Here’s a glimpse of the “Surprise” mini egg exclusive that Patricia Breen created for the Historical Christmas Barn in Connecticut.

The background is black glitter with a white central oval with a lacquered pink rose. The oval is edged with green glittered and pink crystal jewels. Smaller pink roses decorate the entire egg.

It’s a beauty but, I’m afraid it’s SOLD OUT! But HCB does have other Easter ornaments available from Patricia Breen.

You can contact them at: (800) 541-XMAS or santa@historicalchristmasbarn.com.

It’s a GEM of an Exclusive

The Christmas Tree in Highlands, NC will have a very special ornament in 2007. Joy to the World is creating “Highlands Santa” with a glittered tartan cap and festive ornaments upon his coat. This Santa is hiding a special gift behind his back — a frosty white tree gleaming with three white topaz gemstones!

Lisa Kelechava, Joy to the World owner and designer, will be in Highlands on May 26 for a signing to toast “Highland Santa’s” arrival.
