Downtown Grass Valley Ornament - Tess' Kitchen Store & Mill St. Clothing (2018)

This unique collection of Christmas ornaments celebrates the spirit of Downtown Grass Valley through its architecture! A new ornament is released every year in the fall, just in time for the holidays. This fun tradition began in 2004 when Howard Levine and the Downtown Grass Valley Association found an ornament manufacturer that specialized in custom made ornaments. Though the manufacturers have changed throughout the years, the tradition has not. All the ornaments are made of brass, and with the exception of the Ore Cart and the Stamp Mill, the ornaments are colored with enamel, and come in a presentation box. "If you are looking for something to enjoy seeing while you are here; you may want to consider visiting a local favorite. It is a country store that is located in Historic Downtown, Grass Valley. It has been operating since 2003 and its original owners are Mark and Stacy. It is a shop that is dedicated and reminiscent of the home that Stacy grew up with in Bucks County, Penn. This is why the store is lovingly named, “Heart and Home.”The complete list of ornaments: 2004 : Holbrooke Hotel (sold out) 2005: Del Oro Movie Theater (sold out) 2006: Grass Valley Library Royce Branch2007: Old Post Office2008: Nevada County Bank (sold out) 2009: Foothill Flowers (sold out) 2010: Foothill Mercantile (sold out) 2011: The Union Square Building (sold out) 2012: Clock Tower (sold out) 2013: The Stamp Mill2014: Ore Car 2015: Episcopal Church2016: Elks Lodge2017: Tofanelli's2018: Tess'/Mill St Clothing Co. 2019: Heart & Home2020: Yuba Blue 2021: Center for the Arts2022: Holbrooke Hotel (Restoration)
