Mary Frances's Simple Tradition

With our customized ornaments being one of our top sellers year after year, you already know the creator, Mary Frances, partakes in adding to her own personal collection. And here’s how she does it…

It’s more than her daughter’s age. It’s her life experiences, her milestones, her character she wants to capture. 

Every year, when we announce our ornaments, Mary Frances goes on the hunt for her favorite photo of her daughter. She looks to select the photo that feels timestamped to each year of her little life so far. Photos of her picking up rocks, playing with her puppy and best friend, Otis, walking down the street holding the hands of her neighbor. The moments that capture the special and simple times in her growth. 

This doesn’t always mean the silhouette comes out clear enough for others to recognize, but Mary Frances will always know. She is creating a timeline for her daughter to see her growing up made of special moments chosen by mom. Again, it’s not just about how it’ll look coming out, it’s actually about more than that. It is oh so special to choose moments that speak to you to fill your Christmas tree. The tree that is made up of your family memories and family traditions. These are also not blatantly holiday focused so they can remain on doorknobs or hangers all year round! So choose one that moves you. And make sure to tag us!
