Fabulous in Fuscia

Celebs are shedding their winter blues for brighter shades of fuscia and raspberry reports US weekly magazine. Red carpet divas like Selena Gomez, Ginnifer Goodwin, Mischa Barton, Nicole Kidman, and Sara Jessica Parker were all spotted this season wearing dark pink gowns in a variety of lengths and styles.

Something else that is fabulous in fuscia is our silvertone pink flamingo ornament filled with bright pink epoxy. There is still time to find him and our other collectible ornaments at a retailer near you!

We will be closed for the holidays from December 23rd through January 4th, but we wish you and yours a merry season and a happy new year!

Colors of the Season

The New York Times Sunday style section featured a beautiful color-blocked street fashion spread, inspired by the colors of nature. Central park is aglow with red, orange and lavender and the women of the city are shedding their black and gray for bolder colors.

The colors found in nature have always been my greatest inspiration when designing new collections and packaging. In fact, our Angels of the Season collection, available in stores now, was a concept based on the changing of the seasons and the new colors that each one brings.


The angels are packaged in collectible story boxes in shimmering metallics paired with bold hues, and each angel design represents a changing season and the joy it brings.

Angels Amongst Us

As described in scripture, Angels are messengers and mediators, sometimes appearing in human form, sometime in spiritual form. Some people today claim to have seen an angel at some point in their lives, but a personal encounter is not necessary to believe.
from the American Bible Society's, Angels and Miracles

The importance of angels always swells during the holiday season as we celebrate the wonders that only Christmas can bring: faith, togetherness, and giving. Our new 2009 angel collection, Angels to Watch Over You, includes six individual designs, a perfect gift for someone you know who may need an angel this year.


The six designs are Love, Protection, Serentity, Prosperity, Dreams and Guidance, and each one is packaged in a collectible story box with inspirational scripture from the Bible. The collection is available at CVS stores for only $5.99 each.

All About Baby

I just received the latest issue of the New York Times Style magazine and discovered it was all about baby, showcasing the latest in high-end children's fashions and gifts.

Designer Cynthia Rowley was featured in a two-page spread that focused on her family life and her exclusive baby collection at Babies R Us that includes adorable silver sneakers and tuxedo bibs.


Some of the other hot winter gifts included a therapeutic stuffed hippo by Renate Muller, a retro owl clock by the Vitra Design Museum and adorable monster boots and shorts available at kidorable.com and sweetwilliamltd.com respectively.

A Night for Frights

Halloween came and went this past weekend, bringing with it the beginning of the fall and winter holiday season. Children and adults alike, dressed in their scariest costumes to indulge in tricks and treats.

On Sunday, the New York Times published their favorite photos from Christmas in New York. The residents of Chelsea, lined their stoops with candle lit Jack-o-Lanterns while Bergdorf Goodman's Fifth avenue window glittered with a crystal spider web. A wrought iron balcony in Gramercy Park is a veritable city-style pumpkin patch.

Hallweeen may have passed for another year, but there is no reason you cannot keep a piece of it with you. Our black glitter cat keyring is great for any time of year with a glittering stone collar. Available at select CVS stores.

Modern Goddesses

The Wall Street Journal style section featured an article this past Sunday on the re-emergence of Grecian style gowns appearing in droves on the fashion runways and red carpet events. Designers such as Donna Karan and Monique Lhuillier presented their modern version of the toga during New York Fashion Week last month, the dresses characterized by draped or pleated fabric and ruching.

The popularity of Grecian gowns are due to their ability to flatter almost any body style and their comfortable femininity which is why celebrities like Hilary Swank have chosen to wear them for their premiere events.

Our latest collection of angel ornaments, the Angels of Inspiration, are crafted in similar gowns, with flowing bottoms and bunched sleeves. To find a retailer, please visit our website.

It's Never too Early...

...to start your holiday shopping. Many of our retailers have set our Christmas collections and our customers have informed us that certain styles are already sold out. The Associated Press reported that retailers are favoring more traditional holiday decor this season; with red, green and gold, tartan plaids and family-oriented gifts and merchandise.

Our recent sales reports are reflecting the same trends. Our photo ornaments are wildly popular, as well as our family hearts and stars, and our remembrance collections.
