September 2017 Newsletter from The Nutcracker Lady
This
month we want to feature one of Americas most popular artists, Nanette
Hilton. Her nutcracker designs are produced by the Kurt S. Adler Company and
are crafted in China.
Nannette’s designs are found
worldwide on products including fabric, puzzles, posters, calendars, holiday
and home décor. She is also known for her writing skills and she has written
and illustrated children’s books, instruction books, and trade publications.
On top of all this, she has traveled the country teaching decorative
painting to students young and old at conventions, seminars and in private
studios. She believes everyone is an artist at heart.
Here are some
of Nanette’s nutcrackers found in the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum.
Nursery Rhyme Characters by Nanette
Nanette has a knack of bringing story book charactersto life. Children love
these characters!!! |
Halloween is Coming
This Jack o’Lantern nutcracker would be great as a centerpiece for your
Halloween Party. |
Thanksgiving is right around the corner...
The Pilgrim and Indian are great examples to teach the children about the
real meaning of Thanksgiving. |
Two of her wonderful designs...
Nanette has sculpted many different figures for our enjoyment and the
Fireman and Santa are two of her best. |
The Nutcracker Suite...
The story of Clara and her nutcracker is truly enhanced with Nanette’s
rendition of characters in the story. |

Thank you Nannette for bringing so much joy
to so many!!!
