Meet Mr. Christmas on December 12th

If you follow our website, you know already that world-famous floral artist Bill Hixson is our honorary Candle Lighter for the Roscoe Village Candlelighting ceremony on Saturday December 12, 2009.

But did you know that you can chat with him all day on Saturday at the Garden Gate Shop?

Bill Hixson is the founder of Hixson’s School of Floral Design and a world-renowned floral artist who has published several authoritative works and lectured floral design students throughout North America, Europe, Japan and Australia.  

But for more than anything else, Bill Hixson is famous for his passion for Christmas.  

For 30 years, Bill Hixson has advised the staff of every American President and First Lady – since Ronald and Nancy Reagan —  in decorating the White House for Christmas. And his experiences there have earned him the moniker of “Mr. Christmas” throughout the world of interior decorating.

The HGTV “White House Christmas” special showing his work is the network’s most popular holiday program every year.  [Watch it online here]

Custom leather holsters at River Ridge Leather in Roscoe Village

Are you a Cowboy Action Shooting enthusiast?

If so, you need to make a trip to visit River Ridge Leather Shop in Roscoe Village Ohio.

These two western holsters and gun belts (shown left and bottom right) were custom made at River Ridge Leather Co.

Both custom Cowboy Action shooting rigs were handmade from 100% premium bridle leather for rugged durability and authentic Western looks. 

The holster at left was custom made for a single-action Smith & Wesson .357 revolver with a 5-inch barrel.  The holster at bottom-right was custom made for a single-action Ruger .44 with a 6-inch barrel.

Each was cut by hand from oak-tanned bridle leather, then completely hand-tooled and hand-stitched for a custom fit. Both were made by shop owner Dennis Knight and hand carved by his journeyman apprentice, Tom Sesterhenn

If you’d like to see more handmade custom leather work from River Ridge Leather, then saddle-up old Cyber Paint and click on over to www.RiverRidgeLeather.com anytime — day or night — 365 days a year.
