[ and ] paint with some glitter on it . … My parents got it in Italy when they went , before we both were born . But we love that . And , you know , it ’ s just like what you think of when you go to Italy , I guess . You want to visit that [ tower ]. And so we started thinking , … “ Are there any iconic … structures in Laguna Beach that every single person knows ?” We came across the lifeguard tower and we didn ’ t find anyone else that made it so , [ we ] kind of started from there .
LBM : How do you go about designing your ornaments ? JC : First of all , we like to take the … most iconic and well-known structures that we can find in Laguna and then , eventually , we ’ ll branch out to other cities . But for now , just Laguna . And we kind of just … imagine , if you have been to Laguna once or twice ,
what do you remember ? And … every local will know of it , [ too ].
LBM : How are the ornaments made ? JC : We take pictures from every side and give the … dimensions … [ to ] our factory overseas , which is in China , and they can scale it down for us . Or , if they struggle to do that , we can , you know , scale it down . Kind of just give them the dimensions and photos and then we get a rough model … and then we can make changes from there .
LBM : Why did you decide to donate some of the money to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center ? JC : So , both Sawyer and I have been to … seal releases when we were younger . When I was in kindergarden , my class went to a seal release early in the morning at , I think it was Crescent Bay . It was just like really
cool and … we like what they do a lot and they ’ re local .
LBM : Do you have another iconic Laguna Beach symbol picked out for next year ? JC : Beyond the trolley ornament , we haven ’ t really , you know , started looking at [ ideas ]. We have a few in mind , but not really anything close to choosing I guess . Kind of still up in the air .
LBM : What are your future plans for the business ? JC : Newport — there ’ s a lot of stuff in Newport we can go with . We haven ’ t really … [ decided on ] anything specific yet , but Newport has a lot of iconic structures . … For the near future , I think we ’ ll stick to California and Orange County , but who knows , we might go out further . [ It ] just depends how it all works out . g
