Introducing WAXING NOSTALGIC © Manufacturer of Handcrafted Artisanal Beeswax Ornaments
 The beeswax ornaments produced by WAXING NOSTALIC are cast from an impressive collection of molds inspired by antique springerle and speculaas cookie boards, colonial gingerbread presses, primitive American butter molds, Victorian chocolate molds, and vintage European marzipan molds. About 50 different designs are available, spanning a wide range of themes and sizes, from tiny miniature corns to enormous, ornate 16th century wedding hearts weighing in at half a pound. Each ornament is cast, trimmed, and tinted entirely by hand from 100% pure white beeswax.  No paraffin or chemical stabilizers are added. Integral color (achieved with beeswax-based pigments) is permanent and will not fade. Although surface tints are somewhat more delicate, they should not rub off with normal use.
As an added value, each ornament comes with its own personalized hang tag which states the actual name of the ornament, the date its original mold was produced, and (if known) who carved it. The tag also contains historical information, instructions for care, suggestions for use, and other  relevant information. "If someone wants the name of a special event printed on the front of the tag," says Taylor, "we can customize it accordingly."
Although most clients prefer their ornaments to be cast in a natural shade, occasionally WAXING NOSTALGIC gets requests to match the color of bridesmaids' dresses, a corporate logo, or even the color scheme of floral arrangements, table linens, etc. Working from client-provided swatches, samples are produced for approval and orders filled accordingly. Client-provided ribbon can also be used.

Cards from Africa exclusively employs orphaned young adults in the production of intricate handcrafted greeting cards. See us at The Winter San Francisco International Gift Fair, February 6-9, 2010
 "Our goal is to help Rwanda address the significant challenges facing its orphaned population," says Cards from Africa founder Chris Page.  "If we can empower the eldest siblings and keep the younger ones in school, then these families can break the cycle of poverty in this generation."
Page recalls what he learned as the company grew: "We quickly realized that these orphans needed a parental figure that could  mentor, counsel, and advise them, especially through the intense emotional trauma caused by the genocide. They also needed help with life skills, such as cleanliness, healthy relationships, and financial management."
Retailers who are interested in carrying Cards from Africa can see the entire line at The Winter 2010 San Francisco International Gift Fair, February 6-9, 2010

The unique appeal of Zarah sterling silver enamel art jewelry at The Winter 2010 San Francisco International Gift Fair, February 6-9, 2010 - represented by Jason Maxwell Booth Nos. 1532 - 1534
 The unprecedented quality of Zarah's ArtGlass sterling silver jewelry is made possible by applying leading-edge digital image processing and fine, silversmithing to the exquisite images of renowned artists. Showcased in beveled glass, the artwork is depicted in incredible detail with brilliant and accurate color rendition. All of our ArtGlass jewelry is reversible, which means you can show  either of two different images, one on each side. To reverse an earring design, simply slip the earring off its ear wire, flip it around, and slide it back on.
What delights you more, the awesome grandeur of nature or the enchanting creations of talented artists? Our shell jewelry is a confluence of both. Charming images by renowned artists are engraved onto natural shell, forming a masterpiece with subtleties in color and  texture that only nature can provide. Nuances in appearance respond in mystifying ways to shifts in viewing angle and illumination. The frame is crafted in sterling silver by master artisans. As with all things natural, no two are ever identical.
Keepsake Boxes
To achieve the unique appeal of Zarah Keepsake Boxes, imaginative, contemporary artists create the alluring designs. Then master craftspeople translate them into exquisite objets d'art with mouth-blown glass, hand-painted enamel, and trimming of gold or silver plate.
Zarah is represented by Jason Maxwell Booth Nos. 1532-1534 at The Winter 2010 San Francisco International Gift Fair, February 6-9, 2010
