In today’s day and age, it is rare to find a family business that thrives on American-made quality. Founded in 1984, Vaillancourt Folk Art has become a household name to collectors and Christmas enthusiasts around the world because of their highly detailed, hand-painted, Chalkware figurines. From the largest private collection of vintage confectionary moulds dating as early as the mid-1800s, the contemporary chalkware style—first developed by Judi Vaillancourt—pays homage to the early Victorian decorative art form and is completed in a small studio in Central Massachusetts. In addition to their popular chalkware designs, Vaillancourt Folk Art has several other lines, including, mouth-blown Polish glass Christmas ornaments, and a full line of gifts and collections.

Vaillancourt Folk Art is a family owned and operated business that is carried in department stores, catalogs, museums, and shoppes near you.

To make it even more personalized, there are several events throughout the winter season to bring together a community, including the Chain of Lights and Dickens Weekend.
