The Year of the Dragon: 2012

Next year, 2012, is the Year of the Dragon. The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend. In ancient China, the celestial Dragon represents an emperor and power. Today, it is the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying success and happiness. Varga Crystal has magnificent dragon-etched stemware, so you can raise a glass next year and rightfully toast to success and happiness. You can fill your whole set with a Double Old Fashion, Champagne Flute, Highball, Water Glass, and Wine Glass. If you aren't into toasting and you would rather celebrate with a delicious meal, take a look at Dragon Constellation by Raynaud China. The beautifully painted dragon candy dishes and jar will make a great gift for the new year. However you choose to celebrate the Year of the Dragon, do it in style. May the celestial Dragon bring good luck to everyone!

Grainger McKoy Jewelry and Sculptures: Not Just for the Birds!

Grainger McKoy has a passion for the "pursuit of the flight of birds in wood." For a quarter century McKoy has been masterfully carving bird sculptures out of wood. Recently he opened up a whole new territory, he started using his wood carvings into bronze casts in which he poured gold and silver into. This discovery also moved him into the realm of wearable sculptures, or jewelry. Like his sculpture, the "jewelry design is of or about a bird, and starts with a piece of wood and a sharp blade."

The jewelry line, which started as a Christmas Gift for Mckoy's wife, has flourished. Now woman can purchase earrings, necklaces, pendants, and bracelets in Gold or Sterling Silver fashioned from feathers, quails, and other birdly inspirations. The Recovery Stroke Earrings were made upon a customer's request for a gift to give on the 10th anniversary of their wife surviving cancer, these earrings are based on a 12-foot tall Recovery Stroke Sculpture for Swan Lake Gardens in Sumter, South Carolina.

Men can enjoy cufflinks, money clips, rings, and lapel pins. This is the perfect Christmas gift for the avid hunter and bird lover. The Quail cufflink and stud set are their best sellers.

Sallie home is pleased to announced that we are now one of the lucky retail stores that is privileged enough to sell Grainger McKoy. Grainger McKoy will be at Sallie home in St. Louis, MO, November 18th, 2010 to debut his entire line, gold and silver.
