This is the first Keepsake Ornament Advent Calendar. Simply slide the angel at the top of the design along the window frame one number–or day–at a time until Christmas!

The design reflects the Christmas memories of a collector named Joanne Pawelek. In 1991, she won a costume contest at the first Keepsake Ornament Collector’s Club Convention. This ornament was created as her prize. An advent wreath is one of Joanne’s most cherished recollections. When you use this special Advent ornament year after year, you’ll share her joy and the joy of the season.

Look for the Wonder

Excitement was high in Kansas City in June 1991 because more than 700 collectors were attending the first Keepsake Ornament Collector’s Club Convention. Among the convention activities was a costume contest where collectors dressed as their favorite ornaments. The Grand Prize for the best costume overall was won by Joanne Pawelek of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, for her 1977 “Jack-in-the-Box” costume. Artist Donna Lee sculpted “Look for the Wonder” as Joanne’s prize. It reflects Joanne’s Christmas memories and is, in her words, “a dream come true.”

For being the Grand Prize winner of the 1991 KOCC Kansas City Convention Costume Contest, Joanne Pawelek was flown back to Kansas City to meet with Keepsake Artist, Donna Lee and the Keepsake Ornament staff to collaborate on a Keepsake Ornament based on her favorite Christmas memories. This ornament came out of that collaboration—an Advent calendar that reflects the Ukrainian holiday traditions passed down to Joanne by her grandmother.
