Slavic Treasures Signing with
Glenn Lewis & Tippi Hedren
November 2001

After meeting with Tippi Hedren in September, 2001 we decided to partner with Slavic Treasures and Tippi Hedren's Shambala to make the Slavic event in 2001, a fundraiser for Shambala. Glenn Lewis designed a beautiful ornament that represents the Shambala logo and the proceeds from the ornament go to Shambala. Below you will find pictures from the 2 day event. We had a great time and expect to continue the "tradition" for many years to come.

Here is a link to view the Raffle Prizes.

Glenn Lewis & Tippi Hedren stand with the tree of Shambala ornaments that sold out at the event! All proceeds from the ornament go to Shambala. Glenn, Tippi and Debi Thomas from Traditions.

Tippi, it turns out is a huge Halloween fan and is looking at the 2002 Halloween prototypes in anticipation! Glenn & Tippi being interviewed by one of the many reporters that covered the event.

Tippi happily signed the Shambala ornament for many people at the 2 day event. Glenn & Debi standing in front of the Slavic tree.

The Shambala staff, surrounds Tippi and generously helped out at the event. Collectors eye the Slavic ornaments and wait in line for Glenn to sign them.

Greg & Marti, who flew in from Chicago for the event, stand with Tippi after having her sign their Shambala ornament. Glenn designed and produced the highly detailed Shambala ornament in less than 6 weeks, in order to have it ready for the event!

Tippi participated in the raffle to benefit Shambala and won! She was thrilled with the one of a kind full body Lion and the Halloween ornament too! The Traditions staff thanks all of you that participated in the event! See you next year!

Both Glenn Lewis & Tippi Hedren happily signed ornaments at the November, 2001 event.

The event officially started at 4:00pm, but people started coming in hours earlier to have their ornaments signed! Karen Magill brings her many freeblown pieces to be signed by Glenn.

Glenn thoroughly enjoys talking to his collectors and explaining the techniques used to design the ornaments. Tippi was thrilled to see how many people came out to suppport Shambala.

Glenn points out the intricate painting on this raffle ornament, that Greg & Marti won. All of us tried to convince him to put it in the 2002 line! .......4 hours later, still signing!.

The Shambala tree and a picture by Bill Dow, Shambala's photographer, of one of the tigers at Shambala. A closeup look at the Shambala two-sided ornament.

Most of the 2001 Slavic line is displayed on this table. Glenn brought a portion of the 2002 freeblown pieces for everyone to see!

Group shots of the prototypes....note the Halloween in the left corner......they were just a tease! There are lots more to come in 2002! A small portion of the Patriotic line is shown here as well as the VERY popular Santas in the right corner....everyone agreed that the glitter work on them is unsurpassed.

There are lots of "color themed" ornaments, like the gold ones displayed here, but you can also see the "sports kids" in the right corner and the really detailed 'folkart-ish' snowmen. Glenn decided to do the 12 days of Christmas.....all at once! Their smaller size and detail was very appealing at the event.
