Slavic Treasures

The original TREASURES line is now in the fourth year of production. Lewis is well known for his realistic animal designs and this year, he has taken them a step further by doing the pieces as full figures. Then he took them a step further and squished the animal into a ball. Imagine an animal in the fetal position, curled up with legs, tails, etc. all tucked into a ball shape and you have the Aniballs.

Another exciting product was the Tiny Treasures. Fantastic miniatures that are very affordable, are about 3.25" tall and only about $16. retail price. For the fashion collector are the flower adorned shoes of Fancy Footwork including Spanish Step, Steppin' Out, Eleganza, Truckin and Dapper Dude. And the Know Your Reindeer series of Santa's eight reindeer -- all dressed according to their name are a fun and different interpretation of Santa's crew.

The Sign of the Cross ornaments really caught my eye with their designs and vibrant colors.

Petal Cross #01-488-A, 4.5"

Quadrant Cross #01-487-A, 4.5"

Then going from religious to outrageous, are the Frog Frolic ornaments.

Touchdown Toad #01-509-A, 6.75"
