Saturday at AmericasMart in Atlanta
| News from the Mart …
My web master, Leslie Kirk, joined us today driving in from the Birmingham, Alabama area. Leslie and my sister Benita attended the keynote presentation at AmericasMart. Erik Qualman discussed Socialnomics and how it can help retailers, artists and designers. They were impressed and I hope that they learned a few new tricks. Meanwhile, I kept busy chatting with Bruce Elsass (a fellow Ohioan whose cousin once sat in my Spanish classroom in Wapakoneta). Bruce has a new line with new representation. The preliminary samples look fabulous! I have photos and will be talking more about this new line in the coming weeks. Expect to see his new work represented in the spring issue of Celebrate365.

| Surprise from JingleNog! |
 |
| Melissa Byrne, JingleNog owner, had a big surprise awaiting me when I visited her booth today. She has named her new peppermint striped mouse Melvin, in honor of my husband’s gourmet tastes. The real Melvin makes his restaurant reservations before he books a hotel room! Ornament Melvin loves to nibble upon gourmet cheeses.
I’ll report on the official name along with the ornament’s life history later. Yes, that’s me with the glass version of Melvin … the one that can’t talk back! What fun! Thank you, Melissa. |
What’s New … JingleNog Ornaments!

| Sno-Jingle, European glass ornament from JingleNog | Paradiso, Italian free blown jeweled design | |
| JingleNog’s owner and creator, Melissa Byrne, produced the ornaments in Poland and Italy. Byrne has over 20 years of experience in the Christmas and gift industry. She created exclusive products for the Lord and Taylor Christmas Shop for many years, working closely with European craftsmen. She then moved to Christopher Radko, working with the company’s namesake and founder, where she served as Director of Product Development. Now she has created her own pieces to share. | ||
 |
The JingleNog line began with Melissa’s drawings and stories. The resulting group of 60 unique ornaments has been crafted using the traditional handmade methods of glass making. The JingleNog collection showcases the artistry and skills of European glassmakers with a fresh and whimsical twist. |
