More on Ornament Debut
Adorable Dachshund
There are so many new ornaments to get excited about and we can’t wait to share them with you! One adorable ornament is Keepsake Artist Anita Marra Rogers’ Adorable Dachshund! This stunning premium glass ornament includes all the heartwarming details we love about Anita’s puppies. We sat down (virtually!) with Anita to ask about her inspiration for this ornament, and here is what she said (exclusive interview for Local Clubs only):
“This ornament was designed to look like the 5th in the Puppy Love series. This little guy was my childhood best buddy, PeeWee. I tried to make it look as much like him as I could, crooked tail and all!”
Do you have your Ornament Debut favorites picked out? Be sure to fill out an online Wish List at Hallmark.com/WishList to have it sent straight to your local Hallmark Gold Crown store or mail your Wish List to the store of your choice. Once it’s there, the store will begin preparing your order for pickup at Ornament Debut!
- We recommend reaching out to your local store for more information on how to submit your Wish List this year – many stores are taking Wish Lists via email, mail, and over the phone.
- Find your nearest store at: Stores.Hallmark.com
- Want to make changes to your Wish List? Give your local Hallmark Gold Crown store a call today!
Also releasing at Ornament Debut, the Festive Home tabletop piece by new Keepsake Artist, Emma Leturgez-Smith! This piece is a part of our Sound-A-Light collection in which it responds to sound with a colorful light show, or you can choose from three modes:
- See it respond to the music you play
- Let the Festive Home play its own music
- See the Festive Home gently flicker without sound
See more on this tabletop piece here! Be sure to click the “Play” button on the webpage to see a preview video of how this Sound-A-Light piece works!
The “Play” button is located at the bottom of the left hand column. (See arrow in picture.)
