We are very excited to be working on a couple projects for Bridgeport Rescue Mission this month!

Bridgeport Rescue Mission demonstrates the love of God to hungry, homeless and addicted people throughout Fairfield County, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We fight poverty from the inside out by providing a place of hope and dignity through a yearlong educational program, biblical counseling and case management.

Click on the link above for ways to get involved with the Mission.

For the entire month of August, our homepage will feature products anywhere from 37% to 76% off!  Check out the gallery below for the complete selection.

Many of you may be reading this blog because we now have a Facebook and Twitter presence.  But for those of you who read and do not know, please check us out on both!  If you are on Facebook, become a fan!  Or follow us on Twitter here.

In other news, starting in the new year, Jean Elton’s online gallery will become a fully fledged store.  Instead of ordering via email or phone, you will be able to shop online.  Check on the site in January for its new look!

Meanwhile, happy holidays and merry Christmas from all of us here at Jean Elton Studio and Gallery.

Can’t make it to the Holiday Show today or tomorrow?  You’re in luck!  Take some time to browse the gallery below and, if you see something you like, feel free to place an order!  We can’t guarantee that specific item will still be available (although it can’t hurt to ask!), but we are happy to duplicate items if we can.

The team of people behind Jean Elton are not your ordinary, type-A workaholics.  Yes, they work hard, but they are also quite creative in everything they do.  For example, last Friday a staff meeting was planned.  Instead of a boring meeting, however, they met over an exquisite meal on Jean Elton dinnerware.  See the pictures for a beautiful table setting and several of the people behind Jean Elton.

Occassionally, Jean Elton Studio will host private parties, as they did this past Saturday.  There were several families and a good time was had by all!

One little girl, Natalie, wrote, “I had so much fun!  And I think your vases and other peices are beautiful!  And thank you for inviting me back!  I look forward to it!”

Her sister, Julia, was equally enthusiastic, “Thank you so much for one of the best days of my summer!  I had so much fun and learned in the process!”

Their dad was actually surprised by the fun!  He said, “I had thought I would watch and take photos but really got drawn in!  It was a ton of fun!”

Another family wrote, “Thank you so much for the fabulous ‘Jean Elton’ extravaganza!… I enjoyed coming into contact with clay again, and Nancy is now impassioned as well!”

A day at Jean Elton Studio is a day to be remembered and can be enjoyed by both young and old.  Keep checking back on this blog for any future events!
