George and Martha Washington kept a visitor's journal for friends, family and visitors which, over the years, was filled with remembrances and thoughts of the Washington's legendary hospitality. This year's Mount Vernon ornament pays tribute to their kindness and their willingness to open their home as freely as they did with an image of a painting completed in 1878 by G.F. Gilman showing George Washington conversing with a guest on the front lawn of Mount Vernon.
The image is sealed onto a softly-edged, rectangular, porcelain "canvas." The reverse side of the ornament is inscribed: "The elegant Hospitality exercised at Mount Vernon...renders it a most delightful Residence to your Friends. - Eliza Powell to Martha Washington, 1787." |

This beautiful holiday ornament features a horse-drawn carriage in front of the United States Capitol building on a typical winter day. The piece is then surrounded by a 24 kt gold finish. "PROUDLY MADE IN AMERICA!" We are only offering this reduced price to our valued members through the end of the month.
The marble used to create this ornament was taken from a wing of the east front of the U.S. Capitol and was originally installed between 1863 and 1865. This classic design is truly one of the most beautiful fashioned out of the historic marble steps. The marble is ground to a fine powder and then mixed with resin to mold the exquisite frame to hold a classic turn of the century U.S. Capitol carriage image. |

We are proud and humbled to present the Remember September 11, 2001 Commemorative Ornament. The detail is such that you can see the nose of one of the color-guards in the foreground of the ornament. There are many facets and aspects to this beautiful 3-D ornament. Starting with Pentagon building in the background, the Twin Towers rise up and form the supporting structure for five military insignias.
Clockwise from bottom right they are: Department of the Navy, Department of the Army, Department of Defense, Department of the Air Force and Department of the Navy - United States Marine Corps. The Twin Towers are supported by a rendering of the Pentagon with a caption below the color guards which reads: "WE WILL REMEMBER - SEPTEMBER 11, 2001." To fully appreciate the intricacy of this ornament it needs to be seen in person. |

The story of Washington's prayer in the snow at Valley Forge is one of America's most cherished tales of the epic struggle to survive against terrible odds, against hunger, and disease and the unrelenting forces of nature. George Washington's life, his writings, accounts from family and friends prove he was a devout Christian. Moreover, we know that his prayers were impressive. This is stated in the tradition of his discovery by Isaac Potts deeply in prayer on Christmas Day 1777.
This story is well documented in the historical records. Isaac Potts, 26 years old, was a resident of Valley Forge, and as a Quaker was opposed to the war. He supervised the grinding of the grain which George Washington ordered the neighboring farmers to bring to his army. |

In November 2003, when a group of descendants of John Augustine Washington III came to Mount Vernon, one family member brought with her a photograph of a work of art in her possession. It was a beautiful pastel of the Virgin Mary, a painting that the Washingtons hung in the mansion's large dining room.
Now, more than 200 years after George and Martha's deaths and a voyage through several generations of this distinguished family, the Virgin Mary returned home just before Christmas 2003, through the extraordinary generosity of Maud T. Drane, a great-great-granddaughter of John A. Washington III, the last private owner of Mount Vernon. |
