2026 Sneak Peek: Retro Black Owl by Joanne Wright Studio
Retro Halloween Owl
Retro Holiday Collection
Hand Painted Prototype
Something spook-tacular has taken flight at the Joanne Wright Studio and is ready to join the Retro Holiday Collection this fall…
Meet the Retro Halloween Owl Prototype! This wide-eyed little fellow is ready for a night of Halloween fun, dressed for the occasion with a bright purple bow and his jack-o’-lantern pumpkin pail in tow.
This little owl is a real hoot! Those big eyes, chubby little feet, adorable wings, and that sweet little tail are enough to make your head spin. Warm highlights accent his rich brown feathers and bring out all the wonderful little details that give him so much personality.
With all the charm of a Halloween decoration from years gone by, he feels like a little piece of Halloween nostalgia brought back to life. Sweet, playful, and just the right amount of spooky, Joanne has given this little owl the kind of whimsical personality that makes you want to welcome him into your nest and find him the perfect spot to perch—not just for Halloween, but all year long.
After all, whooo could possibly resist?

2026 Reveal: Work of Whimsy: The Jolly Trio
Available as a Set or Individually
A snowy celebration is underway! Through a sparkling winter snowfall, three cheerful snowmen make their way across a winter wonderland, each carrying a special piece of Christmas magic. Sugar Cookie arrived first, bringing a tray of delectable treats to share. Rapper Ribbons followed, finally untangling himself from his gift-wrapping project and arriving with presents for everyone. Last to appear is Tops Holiday, who is always fashionably late. A dapper fellow through and through, he made his grand entrance carrying candy canes to hand out to friends along the way.
Inspired by Tammy Haddix’s original artwork, this delightful trio captures the warmth, generosity, and joy that make the holiday season so special. With rosy cheeks, colorful scarves, and cheerful expressions, each snowman has a personality all his own, yet together they tell a heartwarming story of friendship, giving, and celebration.
Tammy has lovingly brought the snowmen from her print to life as hand-crafted prototype figures. Each piece is individually sculpted, molded, painted, and hand-assembled, making every prototype a unique work of art. Because they are handmade, slight variations should be expected and celebrated as part of their charm.
From presents tucked beneath the tree to sweet treats shared with loved ones, these whimsical snowmen remind us that Christmas is made memorable by the simple joys we share with family and friends. Their playful expressions and festive details bring the magic of a snowy holiday day to life, making them a charming addition to any seasonal display.
These delightful snowmen are created to order, so please allow time for Tammy to work her magic. They will be well worth the wait!
The Jolly Trio Prototypes are available individually or as a complete set at a special discounted price. Please see the Select Options drop-down menu for available choices.

2026 Reveal: Retro Christmas Elves by Joanne Wright Studio
Christmas may still be months away, but something magical is already stirring in Joanne Wright’s Kansas City studio.
Beyond the frosted windows of Santa’s workshop, where teddy bears are stitched with love, rocking horses await their next adventure, and toy trains are polished until they shine, three special elves are preparing for Christmas.
Meet the newest elves to join Santa’s North Pole Workshop.
Inspired by the whimsical charm of the mid-century holiday era, this delightful trio captures the wonder of a vintage Christmas and the enchantment of Santa’s workshop. With rosy cheeks, merry smiles, bright eyes, and festive attire, these cheerful companions look as though they’ve stepped straight from a beloved Christmas storybook.
Jingle (The Rocking Horse Wrangler) tends to a classic rocking horse, carrying the spirit of imagination and adventure, where every Christmas wish can become a grand journey and every dream a magical destination.
Twinkle (The Bear Keeper) lovingly cradles a cherished teddy bear and candy cane, watching over comfort, kindness, and the warm feeling of being home for the holidays.
Tinsel (The Train Master) proudly presents a bright red toy train, delivering the excitement, anticipation, and joyful surprises that make Christmas morning unforgettable.
Together, they represent the heart of the season: wonder, comfort, and excitement—the very magic that transforms ordinary December days into treasured Christmas memories.
Handcrafted with Joanne Wright’s signature blend of retro charm and storybook whimsy, Retro Christmas Elves celebrate a simpler time when favorite toys became lifelong friends, imagination knew no bounds, and Christmas felt filled with endless possibilities.
Whether welcomed into your collection individually or together as a complete trio, these merry helpers are ready to bring a touch of North Pole magic to your holiday home.
Some say Santa delivers the gifts.
But it’s Joanne who creates the magic.
