Glittering beneath the winter daylight, dozens of vintage ornaments sway in the windows of Sample Pleasures, waiting patiently for a home between the green needles of a Christmas tree. And keeping the nearly 100 Christmas ornaments company is a light-up statue of Mrs. Claus. Each of the ornaments has traveled as far and wide as Mrs. Claus only to wind up in the hands of a local shopper thanks to Janet Upchurch.
