The holidays are quickly approaching and what better way to celebrate than with some familiar Mono Basin faces. Our 2016 Fall Catalog has a variety of holiday decorations and cards to choose from.
Holiday cards: This year, have your seasons greetings delivered by your favorite Mono Basin critters illustrated by Wendy Morgan. Each card in the set of 10 says “May you have a Happy Holiday and a Joyous New Year!” printed in red inside. Available animals include black bears, Great Horned Owls, White-crowned Sparrows, and a pika.
Bird gourd ornaments: These hand-made and fair trade ornaments are a great way to decorate your home over the holidays, or any time!
Brine shrimp ornaments: Sure to be a holiday hit, these brine shrimp ornaments by Wild Bryde are a great tribute to the Artemia monica of Mono Lake! These ornaments come packaged in a dark blue envelope and make a wonderful holiday gift. The shrimp come in silver or gold.
Chickadee art tile: Featuring a festive chickadee motif, these tiles are great used as a trivet for serving up hot holiday meals, or as decoration hung on the wall. Each tile is made to handle heat and is equipped with a small hole at the back for mounting on the wall. However you use it, this tile, handmade in California, is sure to brighten up your home.
