Summer is a great time for patriotic decorations.  There are so many patriotic summer holidays - Flag Day, 4th of July, Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day.  I love to go for the red, white and blue decorative theme all summer long. 

It is a great time for the patriotic tree or work some of these hand blown glass ornaments into centerpieces or on your fireplace mantel.bb-f404_eagle_medallion_sm.jpg

When You Want to Say You Care …

When You Want to Say You Care …

Who doesn’t have a hard time picking out gifts for those people who seem to have everything? Gift shopping can be frustrating. It’s hard to find items that are catered to the individual. You never can tell whether someone will really appreciate a gift, or whether they will give it away to someone else without you noticing.

It’s due to these concerns that many people just give cash or gift cards. However these gifts are so impersonal … why not try giving something that will always bring back the memories of the holiday you celebrating? Blown glass ornaments are a great way to say you care to any friend or family member. They are elegant without being over the top and attractive without being tacky.

Gather the Family, It’s Christmas!

Gather the Family, It’s Christmas!

There’s nothing better than gathering the entire family together during the Christmas season. Singing carols around the piano, decorating Christmas cookies and painting hand crafted ornaments are just a few of the activities families may enjoy together.

The holidays are always a great excuse to have family parties and sumptuous dinners. These days so many people are suffering due to the poor economy that it’s even more important to be able to rely on family for love and support. Even when all the money’s gone – your family will still be there!

A chocolate bunny ornament brings back fond memories of childhood.  It was always great to see a chocolate bunny in your Easter basket. 

Today it is great to decorate with a hand painted ornament of a chocolate bunny that looks exactly like the candy chocolate bunny. 

 This is such a fun ornament for spring decorating.

Christmas Ornaments made of Glass

Christmas Ornaments made of Glass

Nothing sparkles, shines, and glimmers like glass Christmas ornaments.  There’s no better way to make your Christmas tradition more delightful than with glass ornaments.  In the tradition of the stained glass windows found in churches and holy sanctuaries around the world, glass ornaments are a virtual necessity for the Christmas holiday.  Glass ornaments come in dozens of different styles: the classic icicle ornaments, tinted glass ornaments, or different animals and figures. 

Glass ornaments, though breakable, also tend to last a long time if taken care of properly.  It’s always sad when an ornament breaks, but purchasing a new ornament to replace it can be just as much of a tradition as the original.  It celebrates the cycle of life, death, and rebirth that much of the natural world shares.

Delightful Handcrafted Christmas Ornaments

Delightful Handcrafted Christmas Ornaments

When it comes to Christmas, there’s nothing better than having classic handcrafted ornaments that can be passed down for generations.  Christmas is a tradition that emphasizes family and togetherness, and ornaments on your Christmas tree shouldn’t be manufactured by some machine, but rather an actual person.  You’ll be delighted when you purchase a handcrafted, hand painted ornament.  These special ornaments have extraordinary detail, and are often made of high quality materials.  Your children and grandchildren will be glad to accept the ornaments as a part of their Christmas tradition in the future. 

The best time to purchase Christmas ornaments is after Christmas.  Crafters experience a lull immediately after Christmas, and often discount their wares.
