kristaupher : What is Autumn Equinox Anyway?

It has been a tradition at kristaupher to begin our Autumn & Winter holiday season each year on the Autumn Equinox. Simply put, this particular astrological event officially marks the end of Summer and begins the transition into Fall/Autumn within the Northern Hemisphere. Whether you are just getting to know the style of kristaupher or whether you have shared and enjoyed it for years, there is one thing that you will always find; simple, traditional elegance.

kristaupher wanted to have a simple way for visitors to remember when the Autumn & Winter collection is presented. Autumn Equinox was the perfect answer. Although it does not always fall on the same day each year, it is easier to remember than checking for a specific date on a website or conflicting with a traditional holiday like Thanksgiving where it is always the 4th Thursday of November. Autumn Equinox is typically marked on the calendar and is easily associated with festive celebrations and long-standing traditions in many cultures.

kristaupher : Simply Sparkling!

Since this season marks the fifth anniversary of kristaupher, I wanted to think of something very special to do in honor of the occasion. For the past year, I have been actively working on changing the look and style of the kristaupher annual ornament and although the concept is not yet perfected, I have been able to complete an initial design for a new series of ornaments that I thought would be perfect to mark this occasion.

kristaupher : Reserve Your Ornaments !

Welcome! As each year passes, the buzz and demand for kristaupher ornaments continues to grow. My closest friends know how much it affects me when someone is unable to get the ornaments they want. For the past two years ( 2008 & 2009 ) many ornaments, especially the annuals, have sold out before December despite the increased stock preparations I have made each year. While this is all very good news, it also presented me with a greater challenge. How can I make it so that everyone who wants an ornament from kristaupher is able to get one? The answer became clear to me this past January and tonight, I am pleased to announce that beginning September 22, 2010, visitors can now enter an early reservation for their kristaupher ornaments online!
