NEWEST
NEWS!! July 4th, 2007 -- We
Began our caravan west to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and

challenge! But finally, as of September 2007, we are fully
settled in and ready for the next chapter in the Orna Mentz jouney!

YEAR 2003
Sex
and the City
–
In
the Summer of 2003, Episode 3, Season 6, remember when Charlotte decorated her last
Christmas tree before converting to Judaism?
Remember when she plucked the little blue ornament from the
box of GORGEOUS VICTORIAN ORNAMENTS?
Those ornaments were none other than the beautifully Handmade
Victorian Christmas Tree Ornaments by....
Orna
Mentz
And
in the beginning………
Before we
went on-line in 1996, we were one of twenty top companies that
were chosen from Delaware to do the 1995 QVC 50-50 Tour.
QVC
50-50 Tour--
This
was similar to an American Idol of the small manufacturing business
community in America. This
exciting event put us on National Television with the very
popular home shopping network QVC with 5 minutes of airtime.
IN
ONLY FIVE MINUTES, retail sales were over $36,000! We were
completely sold out, and even took a bunch of backorders.
Appearing again on QVC is not out of the realm of possibility
in the future, but we are able to offer our beautiful ornaments at
the very best price right here on the Internet.
And then, Along came appearances in other
noteworthy places such as
Longwood
Gardens,
Pennsylvania
Cape
May,
New Jersey
Peddlers
Village,
New Hope, Pennsylvania
And many other
top-notch retail markets.
Orna
Mentz has been selling Internationally since 1996. Products have been
shipped worldwide including growing popularity in Sweden, Ireland,
Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, England, France, Italy, and virtually
every State in America. Every
year brings us in contact with many new and exciting places and
people. We hope to
include you on our growing list of admirers!
Happy Holidays to
Everyone!!
