Exclusive Ceramic Christmas Tree Site Is Up!

We have been working on a new website at CeramicChristmasTrees.info to bring together all our poplular Dark Horse Arts and Gifts ceramic Chrsitmas Trees in one place - and it is up and running beautifully! It has been exciting to create this new website to showcase our entire collection, plus checkout is easier with major credit card or PayPal (your choice).

We love making ceramic Christmas Trees. Every one is a little different since they are entirely handmade. We put a little piece of ourselves into every tree because we know that we are helping to create new and lasting memories of Christmas for the familes that get our trees. It is very rewarding for us to have such wonderful customers and awesome feedback.

Our new website allows for lots of customization features like choosing the oclor star that you want, adding a music box, different bases for each tree, plus we offer 3 sizes of trees and more...

Come and check out our new site here:  CeramicChristmasTrees.info

and if you have one of our trees already, please leave us a rating and feedback so that others can benefit from your shopping experience with us :)

May every day bring bring you the joy of Christmas!

Ceramic Christmas Trees - new additions

It may seem odd, but it is the end of September and we are already getting ready for the Christmas and holiday season with our newest additions this year - 12 inch tall ceramic Christmas Trees! We had so much fun last year with the smaller versions - and great feedback from everyone who got one in 2009 (thank you!) - that we are sure this will be a fun and exciting holiday season again this year :)

We are currently making all types of styles including white ceramic Christmas trees, classic ceramic Christmas trees in evergreen (some with permanent 'snow' flocking and some without), and we are trying out a few surprises too.... pictures to come soon!

We have a special pre-holiday sale going on now at our Etsy shop here:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/DarkHorseStore?section_id=7110147
Sale prices end November 15, 2010.

We hope you love these holiday ceramic trees as much as we do!

Do you want to paint your own?  Here is a bare naked, but fully fired bisque ceramic Christmas tree all ready to paint! Comes with the electric light kit, bulbs and star :)

New Lighted Ceramic Christmas Trees

I mentioned in my last post that I was creating a new lighted ceramic Christmas tree...and here it is! This ceramic tree stands 12 inches tall including the star and base. I am creating them right now in evergreen glaze with and without snow. I will make some in white and other variations very soon.

Hand made from start to finish using premium white ceramic clay, I hand paint each tree in non-toxic lead-free glazes, and fire in my electric kiln. Each tree has about 50 lights, is hand wired with a permanent light fixture and the star on top is removable and inter-changeable. I hope you love them as much as I do.




Soon I will be offering this tree in bisque (unpainted ceramic) for those of you who love to paint your own. Keep watching at my Etsy shop: DarkHorseStore for them to be listed.
P.S. Next up... something for tea time, your desk and of course a great gift for most any occasion.

Lighted Ceramic Christmas Trees

Whew! Was 2009 supposed to go that fast? I introduced lighted ceramic Christmas trees to Dark Horse Store on Etsy in mid-November and everything is a blur from there!!! Many, many thanks to all of our new customers that shopped with us for the season and I am thrilled that you all loved the classic ceramic trees that I lovingly created. I personally have very fond memories of the classic ceramic Christmas trees that were around back in the day and so I set out to create a miniaturized version that anyone could enjoy - I think it worked out very well although I worked around the clock (no kidding) to make all of the trees that we sent out in time for Christmas. A few pictures below just to give you a glimpse. Over 40 little lights on each tree, powered by a 5 watt night-light type bulb.

Here's a sneak peek for 2010 ---- I just couldn't resist creating even larger trees for this year :) Soooo, watch in the next month or maybe two...I am creating new ceramic trees that will stand over 1 foot tall, include a wonderful base adorned with holly, and, well.... you will just have to tune back in to find out, but I promise you will see some beautiful, classic ceramic trees made from vintage molds, but updated for a "green" approach ;)

This is a collection that I am offering at DarkHorseStore.
These little beauties really light up!

Here are some single trees that I created to give everyone a good selection to choose from:

"White Christmas"

"Let it Snow"

"Lighted Ceramic Christmas Tree"

More trees can be viewed in my holiday section here. The trees pictured here stand about 7 inches including the base and star; can't wait to create the bigger trees! Stay tuned and Happy New Year. May it bring you peace, health and happiness.
