Displays
Fountain Hills, AZ
|
Stephen Pepin of Showcase Displays
resides in Fountain Hills, AZ with his wife and two children.
He is originally from Montreal, Canada and started playing in model
railroading when he was 12. In 2003 he visited Salem, Massachusetts,
around Halloween time and came across Department 56 Halloween buildings
in the front window of small gift shop. The passion for villages ignited
at that very moment, and over time became a small business, Showcase
Displays, LLC.
Stephen now has over 200 Department 56 buildings, and his main
collection series are Christmas in the City, Snow Village Halloween, and
Winters Frost, but he also collects his favorite pieces of all the other
village series that are displayed in vignette scenes.
Stephen writes the Village Workshop column for Village D-Lights, showing
various ways to enhance displays and creating different projects. In
addition, he creates store displays for Millie's Hallmark in Phoenix,
AZ, where he also teaches display classes on a regular basis.
If you had a chance to attend the 2011 gathering in Arizona, you may
have seen Stephen's presentation of a vertical display feature a
Halloween train scene. Then at the 2012 gathering in Chicago, Stephen
demonstrated 20 tips and techniques to enhance displays through lighting
and special effects.

Retail Store
Ogden, UT |
Tru-Tone Bulbs began as a passion project for designer David Andora. David, who lived and worked in Chicago in a variety of creative fields, often used vintage inspired design and atmospheric lighting in his projects. The practicality of LEDs was a natural fit for many of these, and as they became more versatile and affordable he kept hoping to see an updated version of the classic “big bulb” Christmas lights that defined his childhood holidays. What could be better than recapturing that warm comforting glow and leaving the burnt fingers, blown fuses, and smoldering trees in the past? Unfortunately, Christmas LED makers continually failed to meet those expectations, focusing instead on the saturated, electronic hues of colored diodes and the novelty of programmable and app controlled light sets. With his experience, a decent understanding of LED technology, and an awareness of new developments in components and processes, David knew that making these lights was possible, but no one had bothered to do it yet.
Taking matters into his own hands, he spent a year and a large chunk of his savings working with manufacturers to develop his ideal vintage-style LED Christmas bulbs. All aspects of the LED filament and bulb, including wattage, brightness, color-temperature, glass shape, and color coatings required multiple rounds of finicky fine-tuning before arriving at the result: an LED Christmas bulb nearly indistinguishable from vintage incandescent. In addition to product development, David has continued to work tirelessly and nearly single-handedly at all the other aspects of the business including marketing, customer service, social media content, all the graphics and the website.
Since their initial launch Tru-Tone bulbs have been immensely popular and have brought nostalgic Christmas joy to thousands of satisfied customers. David and Tru-Tone continue to improve upon their existing products and are always working to add new vintage inspired products to their roster, and to continue their mission of bringing old-fashioned charm to the holidays.
