FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

No More Madness on the Mantle – The Ahna Holder 2007 Holiday Stockings Have Arrived

Seattle, Washington – August 2007 –This holiday season expect Santa to stay a while after he has stuffed stockings. The holly jolly one will be checking out the five fabulous new designs in the Ahna Holder Holiday Stocking Collection placed perfectly on the mantle.

The old pillar box red with white fluffy cotton is a thing of Christmas past. Christmas present and future comes in the form of Holder’s rich and luxurious designs. The stockings are timeless and funky on the fireplace making them the “must have” for the 2007 holiday season.

Holder, a designer who was previously employed in an architecture firm where she worked on airports, has created a quality line in contemporary colors and designs. The new stockings, as with the rest of the collection, work in groupings or stand alone.

“I try to create something for the whole family while keeping in mind that these stockings will be treasured for many years to come,” Holder said.

Holder’s Holiday Stockings feature a grosgrain ribbon edge for an unconventional touch to an age old family favorite. The new Poinsettia stockings put a twist on the traditional. The flower petals bring together a magical mix of red, blue, brown, white, green and gold on a white or brown background. This rich and full presentation hangs happily next to new oval designs, classically festive. This year’s white scroll design layered on top of chocolate brown felt has a warm red touch on each limb that will bring everyone closer to the hearth.

Plan on the bold colors and classy designs of Holder’s 2007 stockings being the talking point of your holiday party. They make a perfect hostess gift too.

And just to make sure that your stocking stays your stocking - show off a favorite festive photo of yourself in Holder’s signature trademark, a soft picture frame that hangs from each cuff.

The 2007 collection will be sold at Mondavi Wineries, Paper-Source, wine.com, Selfridges of London, The Art Institute of Chicago, and Beringer Wineries, among many others.

Ahna Holder is represented by Keena Co. and will be presented at the following gift shows; Atlanta Gift & Home Show, LA Mart Gift & Home Furnishings Market, Chicago Market; Living and Giving, San Francisco International Gift Fair, and New York International Gift Fair.

The Right Stuffing
We know Santa's supposed to be impartial, but just in case Christmas "booty" is in the eye of the beholder, we're hanging these funky 100 percent wool stockings by Ahna Holder on the fireplace — they're bound to catch the merry old gent's eye. And we'll slip our cutest, most innocent-looking photo into the soft picture frame attached (we've been good, we promise!), so he'll be sure to know just who that gorgeous stocking belongs to, and fill 'er up appropriately. Mission accomplished.
