The Christmas collectible industry is
a difficult one. Success is found if you
can accomplish each of these goals:
1) Introduce a product unique to the
industry; 2) Design it with the highest
quality and detail possible; 3) Make
something that you’re proud of; and,
4) Price it to reach the masses without
sacrificing quality. With our Jingle Balls,
we feel we’ve done that.
Since 1984, when Judi first took her
paintbrush to her first hand made
chalkware, she created a collectible
that has stood the test of time. Today,
we continue to treat our chalkware like
a fine art, that preserves the cherished
memories of the holiday season with
loved ones and are passed down for
generations.
The key to her work—which has made
our chalkware unique to the industry—
is the detail. And, when we set off to
develop a new product line, we decided
to combine two concepts: the detail that
Vaillancourt Folk Art is known for with the
ball concept that everyone associates
with Christmas ornaments.
While our figural ornaments (opposite
page) are literal interpretations of its
chalkware counterpart, each Jingle
Ball depicts the face of the chalkware
while integrating subtle detail and
design elements. The best part of these
beautiful, mouth-blown Polish glass
Jingle Ball ornaments is the $30 price.

America Yacht Santa (VFA Nr. 15022) – The idea of
summer conjures a lot of images, notably the beach, the warm
sand under toe and, of course, the yachts that travel the cool
waves of the ocean. It was with these ideas, combined with art
and history, that brought Judi to design the 2015 Nantucket
Summer Series Santa.
In 1851, James Bard, an American marine artist hailing
from White Plains, New York painted one of his most noted
works of art that’s been celebrated for years since, America.
The painting depicted the 19th century racing yacht which
was the first winner of the America’s Cup international sailing
trophy. Competing against seven schooners and eight cutters,
America started the race behind because of a fouled anchor.
Once underway, the ship quickly caught up and surpassed the
other ships winning with an 18 minute lead.
The 2015 Nantucket Santa depicts this legendary yacht on
its coat while the anchor is featured as a pattern on his hood.
Along the base is a boat’s rope design that compliments
the nautical blues and seascape along the back of the coat.
Whether you love art, history, or Christmas, there is no doubt
that the 2015 Nantucket Santa brings them all together.

with a portion of the proceeds benefiting a local organization dedicated to
improving the quality of life for children undergoing medical treatments. The
