Did You Know?
A Peek Inside the Keepsake Studio

When creating “Chicken Coop Chorus,” Keepsake Ornament Studio Artist Ken Crow drew on his childhood experiences spending summers on his grandparents’ Missouri farm.  After thinking through the many barnyard animals that might sing “Jingle Bells,” Ken finally decided upon chickens!

Next came the actual “clucking.”  Ken and Product Designer Peggy Sixta drew on the talents of their Keepsake Ornament co-workers, holding clucking auditions in a basement conference room.  Ten volunteers were split into two groups and sent to a recording studio.  Cluckers who made the final cut include Keepsake Ornament artists Nina Aubé, Ken Crow, LaDene Votruba and Anita Marra Rogers.

Still, they encourage the timid Quasimodo to venture forth from his bell tower and attend the topsy-turvy Festival of Fools.

Disney’s captivating film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame transports us to medieval Paris and the very special world of Quasimodo.  There, with the encouragement of three gargoyle friends, the timid bell ringer realizes his dreams and leaves his bell tower “sanctuary.”  Befriending others, he finds inner strength—and overcomes his physical limitations and fears during a heroic battle high above the city.

Come All Ye Faithful

This unique design was inspired by the memory of a childhood rhyme that begins:

“Here’s the church.
and here’s the steeple…”

Keepsake Ornament artist Ken Crow sculpted the design, believing that at Christmastime, the church doors should open to reveal a crèche-waiting for the people.

You can display your ornament open or closed and close it for storage.

Noted ornament collector, author and historian Clara Johnson Scroggins has named this design as her “1996 Collector’s Choice.”
