Creche Herald's logo, designed by Michael Stumpf of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, has been honored by being designated the Heart a/Christmas 1999 ornament for Christmas Editions of Sterling, Virginia. Titled The Creche, the beautiful handmade ornament was created exclusively for Peggy D. Hart by Chip deMatteo, Hand & Hammer Silversmiths. It is a limited edition of 500. Of deeply sculpted sterling silver, The Creche ornament is about two inches high and nearly as wide. An enclosed card notes that Creche Herald is the official publication of creche collectors. Peggy Hart's company, Christmas Editions, is unique in that it sells only two items: Hart'.s books on silver ornaments, of which she has authored three, and a series of silver ornaments created especially for her.
