Celebrate! Your Achievements

Artisan:  Lis Smith

 

More than ribbons, they are recognition of the work you do everyday with your animals and in your barn and pastures.  They are an acknowledgement of the many hours spent practicing for the show ring, and validation of your breeding stock and practices.  You don't need ribbons to prove your animal is a valued companion.  But if you do compete together and want to remember that special show, a spectacular year, your retired champion or perhaps memorialize a partner who has passed away, then Celebrate! Ribbon Displays are the perfect option.

 

Celebrate! Ribbon Displays

 

Show here is a 4' Celebrate! Ribbon Display w/ 8" x 10" photo frame (portrait orientation), double dowel, colonial stain.  They are beautiful pieces; my poor photography doesn't do it justice.

 


4' Celebrate! Ribbon Rack w/ 8x10 Photo Frame, double dowel, colonial stain

 

Many events use ribbon awards - gymnastics, academia, sports.  Use these for any item that can be hung.  Beautifully handcrafted, you will be proud to display these ribbons racks in your living room or hallway, child's room, barn or kennel office, even at a show at the entry way to your kennel or stable area.

Displays are handcrafted upon receipt of orders; they need plenty of time for the stain to dry thoroughly before shipment so packing materials will not stick to and damage the finish.

*TEMPORARILY, Celebrate! Ribbon Displays are available as a PICK-UP ONLY item.  We are happy to try to meet you anywhere in central and/or southeast Ohio that may be convenient for you.  We are looking for a new source of shipping boxes; custom-made boxes can be expensive!  This site will be updated when regular shipping is again available.

 


How They Are Made

 

Celebrate! Ribbon Displays are handcrafted by woodworker and sawyer, Lis Smith.  She takes great pride in her craft and you are the benefactor! 

Description:

Each Celebrate! Ribbon Display has two heavy-duty strap hangers that lie flat against the back of the rail and are positioned 16” apart on center.  Included with each display are 2 screws, 2 wall anchors, and 2 extra brass escutcheon pins.  The frame is permanently attached to the railing and comes with a white, acid-free foamboard backing and an 8”x10” shatter-resistant piece of Lucite acrylic.

Single Rail

One rail for hanging ribbons, either string or rosettes.

 

4' Display w/ Single Rail - The one rail display's rail holds up to thirteen 4" rosettes.

Customer Testimonials & Photos

 

Thank you to our customers who have sent in their photos of the Celebrate! Ribbon Displays.  Here are their photos and comments.

 

 

6' Celebrate! Ribbon Display handcrafted by Lis Smith

Dennis & Holly Gamble and their Italian Spinoni, Booker, sent this photograph.

Framed certificates surround Booker's photograph.  This is a custom-made, 6’ wide, double-dowel

Celebrate! Ribbon Display.  The double-dowel allows for the staggering of ribbons.

"Thank you, Lis, for building a wonderful wooden ribbon display that allows us to organize

our dog's accomplishments.  The picture frame adds a nice touch as

it can be used for a picture or certificate.  It has created a nice display in our home for friends and family to see what we've earned in agility competitions."  ---- Holly Gamble

 

 

 

4' Celebrate! Ribbon Display handcrafted by Lis Smith

Bobbie & Tom Miller sent this photograph of the handcrafted

4' Celebrate! Ribbon Display made by artisan Lis Smith.

"I wanted to share with you some pictures of our ribbon rack display.

Our three Shelties in the picture compete in CPE and AKC agility, and this is a great way to display their special ribbons. We put rosettes on the top rail,

and the ribbons on the bottom rail.  What a great idea!"  ---- Bobbie Miller

Lis’ original drawings are now available as patterns that can be used for appliqués on quilts, pillows, jackets or anything you can imagine, for embroidery, painting, home décor, woodworking and other crafts.  She strives to represent each breed or discipline as accurately as possible in a two-dimensional format.  There are many horse designs out there, but very few - if any - are as beautiful as these!

 

Wood silhouettes and detailed woodcuts are made of Baltic Birch plywood.  Baltic Birch is a beautiful wood with a smooth finish.  Each piece is handcrafted and will arrive already sanded and ready to paint or stain.

Wood Silhouette :: Llama, "Se Llama"

 

 

Detailed Woodcut :: Friesian, "Sardius"

 

 

Lis puts the same effort and care into drawing her alpaca, llama, horse, donkey and mule designs.  She carefully studies and reads reference materials and searches web sites, all in addition to visiting breeders, barns and kennels!

High-Quality, Homemade Soap :: All-Natural Selection

 

 

Homemade Soap :: Many Fragrances

 

There are no preservatives, hardeners or detergents in Louise's high-quality, Homemade Soap.  Once you use these, you will never want to use commercially-prepared bars again!

 


 

Hand-painted Pottery :: Soap Sofa

 

Be sure to keep the soap in a dish that drains to prevent it from liquefying.  One of Susan's handmade, hand-painted Soap Sofas will keep your bars high and dry.

 

 


 

Gift Idea using Homemade Soap, Lotion Bar & Mini-Dish

Gift Idea :: Lotion Bar, Homemade Soap, Mini-Dish

 

Shown:  A lotion bar, hand-painted mini-dish (Seahorse design) and an all-natural, vegan Lavender-Rosemary soap.  Add your own scrubby and miniature wash tub for a lovely, useful and memorable gift.

 

 


 

Lotion Bars :: All-Natural or Fragrances

 

They don't dry out.  Set a lotion bar on one of Susan's hand-painted Mini-Dishes and leave it by the kitchen sink, on a nightstand, desk, or anywhere you want to have lotion handy.  They are for hands, arms, elbows, feet, legs, knees, body, neck - anywhere you need lotion.

 

 


 

Hand-painted Pottery :: Mini-Dish, "Elephant"

 

Susan's Hand-painted Pottery is made in Ohio with Ohio clay!  She started making these mini-dishes for Louise's lotion bars but they have so many uses.  They are food-, dishwasher-, and safe to use in a conventional oven.  Use as tea bag caddies or spoon rests; put one at each table setting for butter, salt or seasonings.

 

 


 

Lotion Bar Tubes :: More Than 80 Fragrances

 

Don't leave home without them!  Get one for each pocket, purse, backpack or travel case.  More than 80 fragrances from which to choose, see Lotion Bars
