Hoppy Holidays - 1982
Wednesday, March 29th, 2006
Like most of us who are frustrated with our “day” jobs, my uncle, Fern Morin, decided it was time for a change. In the spring of 1982 he decided to do a trial run and mass produced several hundred of these Christmas ornaments out of his small garage shop. His wife Joni hand painted each and every one.
Little did they know what started out as an “experiment” would eventually turn into a full time business. The ornaments were a huge success and sold well.
On August 23, 1992 Fern and Joni were killed in a train accident. I feel the best way for me to honor their memory is to share some of Fern’s woodworking designs with you. Please feel free to download your own free plans for the Hoppy Holidays Christmas Ornament.
