An American, Family Christmas Business is Closer Than You Think

As the holidays quickly approach, I would love to invite you to tour our studio, museum, and gallery in Sutton, MA. Vaillancourt Folk Art—started in 1984—is one of three of the last family-owned, American businesses left producing Christmas in the country. In addition to producing our highly detailed Chalkware pieces (including exclusive designs for MFA, Bergdorf Goodman, Colonial Williamsburg, and Neiman Marcus), we have strived to create a local holiday shopping experience in our gallery that is reminiscent of the department stores of old; decorated unbelievably, our gallery is beyond a shopping destination, but inspiration for anyone looking to celebrate the splendor of the holidays. Vaillancourt Folk Art, operates with one goal in mind:create a tradition that can be passed down for generations.

We would love to give you a tour of our studios with two hopes: the first, that you might find an idea for a story on our company and the second, for you to experience Vaillancourt the way that families from around the world do.

Here are a few quick images of our decorative theme this year: http://valfa.com/architectural-christmas-slideshow

Here is a quick video describing what we do: http://valfa.com/about/video

We greatly appreciate you taking the time to read our e-mail and visit the two links I’ve provided. I know that the season is busy for everyone, but for a local, American, family business that makes Christmas, we have to rely on citizens and not Government to continue to create museum quality collectibles.

Have a wonderful holiday season!
