“Christopher has an uncanny talent of cleverly grouping small and nostalgic holiday decorations into larger heirloom ensembles that are charming and colorful,” says Kathy Goodrich, president of Market Square. “His creativity not only includes the collective assemblages but also the creation of the smaller pieces that he either designs from scratch or embellishes from historic vintage pieces.”

The assemblages vary in size and are attractive to consumers looking for unusual and attractive Halloween, Christmas and Easter décor that can be easily displayed and make for a seasonal statement piece in the home.

Each assemblage includes a collection of vintage items: for example, a Christmas version that includes tinsel, small tinsel trees, electric holiday lights, tiny elves, a small sleigh, a hand painted Santa, glittery wreathes and bows or a Halloween version that includes handmade ghosts, scarecrow, pumpkins, and a hand-painted backdrop.
