Presenting the Signing Event Exclusive Ornament
Design Features the Work of 18 Artists

Imagine a Keepsake ornament featuring the creative craft of many artists in the Keepsake studio.  Eighteen of them contributed to The Little Window Shoppers, a detailed exclusive piece which will be available only at the In Store Artist Signing Events in September 2008.  The ornament features two charming children peering into the window of a Hallmark Gold Crown store. (See below for dates, locations, and artists). Each detail of this ornament was created by a different Keepsake artist.

Here’s what you’ll see: the window arch and base were designed by Linda Sickman, with a surrounding garland by Nello Williams, and an awning by Edythe Kegrize.  The children were created by Nina Aubé and Tammy Haddix, with a Gold Crown shopping bag by Terri Steiger, and snowfall created by Tom Best. Inside the store, a Christmas tree by Robert Chad is decorated with ornaments by Katrina Bricker, Julie Forsyth, Tracy Larsen, Kris Kline-Gaughran, Anita Marra Rogers, Sue Tague, and Sharon Visker.  The tree topper and packages are by Joanne Eschrich. The store décor of houses and shops was created by Don Palmiter, and the train on its track around the base of the tree is by Ken Crow.

Don’t miss your opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind ornament. It will be offered at the September in-store signing events only for $28.00.

In addition to the ornament itself, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase a special edition coordinating Lapel Pin ($7.50).  The pin is a great conversation starter, and what better way to show your colors as a dedicated Keepsake collector.

These 20 in-store signing events provide an opportunity to visit with a well-loved Keepsake Studio Artist, purchase exclusive product, and enjoy the company of fellow collectors.  This year, the signing events will be held over four weekends in September to give collectors an opportunity to attend multiple signing events.
