There's No Place Like Gnome for the Holidays

The Museum Store is now full of delightful holiday items from books and cards to ornaments of all shapes and sizes. Local artist Irma Starr has lovely holiday additions to her line of reproductions of the Museum's famous Burnap Collection of English slipware and pottery. My all-time favorite piece is her reproduction of our Owl Jug which was affectionately named Arthur, or 'Art' for short, in a naming contest by one of the Museum's members.

The item that caught my eye today was this quirky little gnome ornament (above). Special holiday items will be available through the New Year.
