Christmas is just around the corner. Here’s a set of ornaments that are as inspiring as they are adorable.

Amy Calendra Davis tragically lost her son Zachary when he was 4. But she turned her pain into something amazing.

In 2001, she was inspired to start the company (named after the hymn she used to sing with her sons). Her designs have since become known around the country and the world for their whimsy, beauty, and meticulous detail.

An incredible artist, she produces art that has been imprinted onto ornaments, pillows, and framed artwork.

These ornaments are from the “Cute as a Button” colletion, which was created in memory of Zachary. A portion of the proceeds to go help children with special needs in the area of music and creative arts.

The Wings of Hope Porcelain Music Box is a great holiday gift, new for 2007.

It’s a collectible Ardleigh Elliott porcelain music box, featuring a beautiful pink pattern made of 22K gold accents, crystals, faux gums, rhinestones and an elaborately jeweled butterly. The top of the music box is made of pewter, and features a pink ribbon.

Under the lid as a simple message of “hope”, and the melody that plays is “Wind Beneath My Wings”.

A great gift item for the upcoming holiday season that goes to help a great cause.

The Boy of Color

This is a children’s book where the story of how it was written is just as interesting as the story itself.

Kid’s Club is an after-school, faith-based program located in Chicago which reaches out to high-risk children living in the inner city.

The book is a great children’s book that also teaches an important lesson to kids aged 4 to 7 that God created all colors–and people–beautiful.

The Boy of Color was written and illustrated by two children at Kid’s Club for a writing contest. A portion of royalties are being donated to Kid’s Club.
