American Hand Made Holiday Ornaments

Display over the bellmen's desk.

The Grove Park Inn goes Christmas in a big way.  Evey nook and cranny of the historic hotel is decorated with trees, trim and Santas.  You can even get your holiday photo taken in the scene set up in the massive fireplace!

The Gallery goes all out too with lots of American hand made Christmas ornaments for every taste imaginable.  All of them are locally made.  Lynda Banner creates cute pottery ornaments; Simone Wilson's metal ornaments appeal to the folk art lover;  and Robbie Diffey makes her lovely ornaments in brass.

Jean Saake bell and wreath ornaments

If you want a memento of your visit to the grand Grove Park Inn, then Jean Saake's ceramic bells and wreaths with the Inn painted on by hand will be the ticket. For the pet lover Julie Calhoun-Roepnack' whimsical dogs and cats will be a hit.  For a true American ornament try our cotton ball ornaments.  Using scraps of colorful felt Celia Barbieri makes tiny wreaths to trim your tree.
