Ornament Spotlight: Cute as a Button
Cute as a Button
When Keepsake Artist Nina Aube was little, so were her pets. Growing up in a small apartment in Chicago, she enjoyed creating clothing, furniture and vehicles for all her little critters, using everyday objects like candy boxes, spools–and buttons!
“Tiny pets are dear to my heart. I had a lot of hamsters growing up, and I’ve always found their perky, cuddly faces and gentle dispositions to be especially adorable.
For this series, you’ll see these happy little hamsters using buttons of all shapes and sizes in creative and festive ways to celebrate the season!”

Fanciful Friends
Keepsake Artist Kristina Gaughran has been a lifelong fan of mermaids.
“I’ve wanted to design a mermaid ornament for a long time, so I’m really excited about creating this series. I’m planning different ethnicities with beautiful tails inspired by real fish. This year’s was inspired by the mandarinfish. There are so many possibilities with all the amazing, colorful fish in the sea, and I hope to bring something unique and playful to each of these fanciful friends.”
Wondering what next year’s mermaid will be? Kris says, “I‘ll only hint that it includes my favorite color. And I really hope you love them as much as I love working on them!”

Ornament Spotlight: Snowtop Lodge (2024 Sneak Peek)
A Snowtop Lodge Christmas Concert
Since 2005, Keepsake Artist Joanne Wright has been bringing smiles to snow people lovers with her popular Snowtop Lodge series. This year, familiar series favorites have gathered to bring you a tabletop Christmas concert, complete with synchronized light show.
“It was so exciting to bring my characters to life,” Joanne says. “We worked carefully to choose carols to perfectly match each one. When you add a character to the stage, that snow person sings while the tree lights up with a color-themed light show created to perfectly fit its personality.
“Oh, and you might notice a new character in the group. The snow person with the red stocking is a sneak peek of the series ornament that will come out in 2024. That ornament will be porcelain to match the rest of the series, and I can’t wait for you to meet her!”

For the Love of Trucks
Keepsake Artist Alex So’s passion for vintage trucks began with a college research project.
“The 1954 Ford Mercury M-100 was the first truck that caught my eye. Its design was unique, with a brand-specific grill that really stood out, and I fell in love with it. So for me, it’s exciting to create these trucks in miniature scale, while preserving as many details as possible to capture their beauty. This series is a celebration of everyone who loves their pickup trucks.”
So what’s coming next? Alex will only say,
“You can look forward to another exquisite, iconic miniature truck!”
