2014 Decatur Ornament Available For Sale + Pete The Cat Returns

Posted in Art & Culture, Community, Retail & Restaurants, Uncategorized on December 11, 2013 | Leave a Comment »

sbs-pete-the-cat

Last year we launched the first in a series of City of Decatur ornaments created by local artists.  This year our featured artist is Jamie Calkin.  He created three different scenes – the Old Courthouse surrounded by a wreath, the Community Bandstand decorated with garlands, and the tree high atop Little Shop of Stories, lighted by Santa.  Each ornament is numbered and signed by Jamie.

Ornaments are regularly $18 but we are offering a Terrific Thursday special this week – you can purchase them individually for $15 or all three for $42.  While you’re out at Terrific Thursdays, look for Santa shopping as well!  You can purchase the ornaments at Wild Oats and Billy Goats, Vivid, and Little Shop of Stories.

In addition to our special one-of-a-kind Decatur ornaments, James Dean created a special Pete the Cat “PEACE” in the City of DeCATur print and holiday cards.  Prints are $35 and packages of 5 cards are $20 (you can also purchase individual cards for $5).  We love our Pete the Cat and we are so glad he is celebrating with us in this special way.  You can purchase Pete the Cat items at Wild Oats and Billy Goats.

All proceeds from the sale of these items goes back into creating the 2015 Decatur ornament.
