Christmas 2009 Signing Events for Ornament Collectors

Christmas ornament signing events are great! It's a way for collectors and the artist to connect, meet, sometimes give feedback on pieces and possibly even request the artist make something for a future line. It's also fun to hear what might have inspired a particular piece -- tell me a story and you might as well start ringing up my order. I'm always a sucker for a story!

Here is a list of holiday signing events for 2009. If you know of any I've missed, please let me know!
