Today I have two exciting announcements to share with you. First up is the launch of the brand new web site for the ever popular Paloma's Nest {creator of the original Ring Bearer Bowl™}.

The site and shop will be full of new details to streamline the ordering process, demonstrate the full range of the Paloma's Nest product collection, and share more about the inspiration and intentions behind Caroline's work. 

Some of the special features in the new web site include:

1. The debut of the brand new Heirloom Packaging, available only at palomasnest.com:
A hand crafted slide-top wooden box, paired with our wooden Heirloom Tag™ - a special place to record the names of those who have received and cherished the heirloom inside the box. As the Paloma's Nest piece is passed on, so is this Heirloom Tag™ - as a written history of your tradition for future generations to inherit. This Heirloom Packaging Option will be available as an upgrade on any order. And, as always, the Signature Packaging will be included in every order at no additional cost. I absolutely adore this new packaging concept - what an ingenious idea with the wooden Heirloom Tag™.

2. A complete shop of all Paloma's Nest designs, including: extra details and upgrades not offered elsewhere; fields for entering specific Custom Text on each item page; gift certificates; one-page checkout;  and a simplified ordering process.

3. The Paloma's Nest blog, lovingly titled "Stories to Tell,"  will serve as a platform for Caroline to share current projects, custom orders, and more.

4. FREE SHIPPING worldwide, on every item in the shop from February 15-March 1 only

So happy to share with you a sneak peek at Caroline's 2009 Holiday Collection for Paloma's Nest. Caroline tells me the theme for this year's Holiday Collection is "Let Heaven and Nature Sing" as the Holiday line incorporates text that is inspired by lyrics from timeless Holiday Carols. Also featured are natural wood elements, touches of glimmering "angelic" gold leaf and gilding, and of course, Caroline's signature snowy-white ceramic.
Many of the items in the 2009 Paloma's Nest Holiday Collection are Limited Editions and each piece is signed and handcrafted in the Paloma's Nest studio. Some of the pieces are even numbered and many are available with custom text. Be sure to visit the Holiday Collection for even more beautifully handcrafted keepsakes as what's showcased above is just a sampling.
