We choose to keep our operations in the
US, where it belongs. Mainly because we're not in this to make a million
dollars. If we were, we'd be making stuff in China, too.
No, we're in this because we were
collectors at one time of our own stuff (long story, follow "Our
Story" link at left.) Essentially, I love bringing a smile to our
collector's faces.
So, using more than 200 homebased
painters around the Portland area and lots of help in our shop during
Christmas, we somehow manage to make everything in the USA. Something Dept
56 and all the other behemoth collectible companies out there can't manage
to do for some reason. (It's called GREED.) The ironic thing is, we're still less expensive than
much of the "Made in China" stuff in the
marketplace. (Go figure!)
We actually have 9 lines of holiday
collectibles. We make Witches, Bowlers (look like holiday mini bowling
pins), 5 lines of Santas, Uncle Sams, Ghosts and Angels. Be sure to
request a catalog if you'd like to see everything we make. If you order
a Booster you'll receive a copy of our catalog automatically.
We mainly sell our collectibles through
independent gift shops across the USA. We also have a "Factory" store
in Aurora, OR. It's where all the magic happens. (See
directions to our store in the left column.)
Meanwhile, get on our mailing list
to be kept informed.
