Each ornament is $35 and will take about three weeks this time of year (holiday time is busy time and these are handmade individually). So place your order now if you need one by the holidays!<\/p>\n<p>Kimberly says she&#8217;s able to make pretty much any building or local landmark too. She once made the Susan B. Anthony House for someone. And she even offered to make me a Broad Street Aqueduct &#038; Subway ornament! I think I&#8217;ll have to take her up on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for gift ideas this holiday season?
