Get an early look at two Keepsake Ornaments created especially for in-store signing events: Mrs. Claus’s Stove and Mrs. Claus’s Kitchen Table.

As in past years, each features work by multiple artists under the art direction of Keepsake Artist Edythe Kegrize.

Each is an imaginative glimpse into the kitchen of the North Pole’s most beloved residents. Mrs. Claus’s Stove features more than two dozen objects, from freshly baked bread to wooden spoons, all created by Keepsake Artists. The kitchen table takes the same approach with retired artists contributing to the piece.

The pair of ornaments continues a theme established in 2010 with the release of Santa’s Armoire as that year’s in-store signing ornament. Last year, Mrs. Claus’s Cupboard was created for artist signings at the KOC 25th Class Reunion event—but those of you who missed it can get a repainted version when you renew your KOC membership for 2012.

These special-edition Keepsake Ornaments will be available at each location of a 2012 Keepsake Artist In-Store Signing.
