ARTISTS APPEARING AT THE DECEMBER 6TH EVENT:

DEE FOUST FOR BETHANY LOWE
Dee Foust's passion for handmade goods is expressed in her line of personally crafted designs reproduced in perfect detail by Bethany Lowe. As an avid collector, she finds inspriation from vintage treasures. As an artist she works to pass on the tradition and to capture the imaginanation of the past!

DEBBEE THIBAULT ORIGINAL DESIGN MOLDED FIGURES AND GLASS ORNAMENTS
Debbee Thibault's first Santa was made in 1985. Her collectible line is made of a paper composition that is poured into molds taken directly from her original paper mache designs. Each piece is then hand painted and the pressed paper charms are added. All pieces are signed and hand numbered and limited. Her workshop is located in Southern CA. Debbee also now has a German made ornament line! The styles are copies of her most popular figures, some hang and some are clip-on for Christmas and Halloween!

BRUCE ELSASS: HOBGOBLINS COLLECTION FROM BETHANY LOWE
Bruce Elsass, an avid Halloween collector since his youth has amassed one of the most impressive Halloween collections in the United States. Bruce began working with Bethany Lowe designs a few years ago to bring his signature style to the Bethany Lowe collection. We are thrilled to have Bruce appear at our event! Look for him in VINTAGE COSTUME and he will be signing his pieces from Bethany Lowe Designs.

CODY FOSTER AND COMPANY VINTAGE CHRISTMAS AT IT'S BEST
The Backporch Friends line was founded in 1991 when Cody Foster, the artist/designer, was just 16. His grandma was instrumental in teaching him the skills he would need to design and construct these wonderful folk art dolls. All original pieces are handmade in Nebraska. Cody Foster now designs a reproduction line and changed the name of his company to CODY FOSTER & CO. in 2005. His line has been featured in many magazines, most importantly the Mary Englebreit December 2003 issue. We received so many requests for his candy boxes, ornaments, houses and vintage trees from that article, we sold out in record time!

 CHARITY FUND RAISER

For the 12th yearTraditions is proud to announce that we will continue our fundraising efforts to benefit the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, located in Denver, Colorado. We will raffle off merchandise and ornaments at OPEN HOUSE SIGNING EVENT OCTOBER 4, 2008. ALL OF THE PROCEEDS will be donated to NJC, to help them find new methods for the prevention, treatment and cure of disorders such as chronic lung disease, asthma, severe allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, AIDS, fibromyalgia, atypical mycobacterial infections and immune disorders such as lupus.

 

WE WILL HAVE MANY RAFFLE PRIZES FROM BETHANY LOWE AND SEASONS OF CANNON FALLS-. There will also be glass ornaments from Slavic Treasures and much much more!

National Jewish is the #1 respiratory hospital in America for the fourth year in a row, according to U.S. News and World Report. Asthma has quickly grown into one of the nation's worst health crises. Today, between 14 and 15 million adults and children suffer from Asthma and over 5000 people will die from asthma in 1999....and that number continues to rise.

This cause really means a lot to all of us at Traditions and we want to make this fund raiser a big success! If you have any more questions about NJC, you can check out their website at http://www.njc.com or contact Paulette Trubey at 1-800-423-8891, ext 1590.

If you know any one whom you think would benefit from National Jewish their direct hospital line is 1-800-222-lung.

We want to do our part to help raise funds for this hospital and hope that you will join in the cause. We will be raffling ornaments and other merchandise off to raise funds for NJC. You can help us and win by just buying one ticket or more.

 

We are selling tickets for one dollar each ($1) or 12 for $10.
