Are you decking the halls with handcrafted ornaments?

Filed Under: All Posts, Janell on November 12, 2009

Hard to believe but I have started my gift giving list because Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/ Solstice will be here soon. And is there a better gift than a handcrafted ornament? My family loves ornaments. Haley, who is 12 and Parker who is 10 both have their own Christmas trees in their rooms with ornaments they have received from family and friends. In Nebraska we have a number of craftsmen that make some beautiful and affordable ornaments. For animal lovers we have Bert Anderson Collections which has everything from tigers to eagles. Haley is planning to give her teacher an eagle ornament this holiday season. For the whimsical we have ERH Studio that make a variety of wonderful designs including a nice Nebraska ornament. For the classic look we have Wilcox Wood Art who, believe me, can put any design in the shape of Nebraska. For the personalized ornament we have you covered with Rosemary’s Porcelain Art. Paper ornaments from Jeanette Nakada. Need a great snowflake ornament? J Devlin Glass just came out with a great design for the 2009 holiday season- they are beautiful. In any case, what better way to simplify the holiday shopping madness than to add some festive holiday ornaments to your list for your family, friends, teachers and co-workers. All these and many more great handcrafted gift ideas are available at shopgrownebraska.org, GROW Nebraska’s eBay store, GROW Nebraska Stores located at Hilltop Mall Kearney, Conestoga Mall Grand Island and seasonal temporary store Westfield Gateway Lincoln.
