Christmas is almost just around the corner. At our recent Fall Artists and Crafters Market, visitors were treated to an absolute showcase of local talent, but the Christmas ornaments and holiday decorations created by Dryden artist Francine Higgins truly stole the show.

Blending rustic textures like burlap and twine with delicate satin ribbons, lace trimmings, and sparkling gems, Francine crafts elegant angels and festive trees that embody the warmth of the holiday season. Each piece is meticulously detailed—from soft thread tassels and pearl halos to gleaming stars—making every decoration a one-of-a-kind keepsake for your home.

Whether you’re looking to trim your tree with handmade charm or find the perfect, heartfelt gift for someone special, Francine’s work brings classic elegance and artisan quality directly to your holiday celebrations.
