Show Me Christmas

Rainbow Heart

Rainbows can be observed whenever there are water drops in the air and sunlight shining from behind a person on the ground.  The most spectacular rainbow displays happen when half of the sky is still dark with raining clouds and the observer is at a spot with clear sky in the direction of the sun. 

Rainbows can be caused by other forms of water than rain, including mist, spray and dew.  The mist from a waterfall may also result in a rainbow.  Rainbows may also form in the spray created by waves.  That’s why Hawaii with its many waterfalls and waves is often called the rainbow state.

I think it is fun at this time of the year, when I am often missing the glorious days by the beach or in the sun, to create a themed Christmas tree.  I love all things that remind me of the sun, sea and beach.  All of the rainbow ornaments that are so colorful and cheerful are perfect for that seaside themed Christmas tree.  You can also add shell, fish and sea animal ornaments as well.  Anything that reminds you of summer fun or vacation fun by the beach. 

A perfect addition to this tree is the rainbow heart ornament from the Abigail Collection.  It is a hand blown and hand painted glass ornament imported from Poland.  This colorful ornament is so cheerful it is sure to light up the holidays!

Alice

Alice in Wonderland is a novel written by Lewis Carroll.  It is the story of a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure and falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world of peculiar creatures.  The book was written in 1865 and has been so popular with children as well as adults to the point that it has never been out of print. 

In 2010 a movie starring Johnny Depp will return a 19-year old Alice  to the magical world from her childhood adventures.

This Christmas it might be fun to have an ‘Alice in Wonderland’  themed Christmas tree.  A mouth blown glass ornament of Alice from the Abigail Collection would be the perfect beginning to a wonderful collection.  This ornament is hand blown and hand painted in Poland.  The children in your family as well as the adults would love this tree.

Santa's Steed

As an avid Santa collector for many years, I find it difficult to find a truly different and unusual Santa to add each year to my collection.  This year I found an exceptional one.

You don’t see many star studded Santas riding a large white polar bear.  This Santa is hand blown glass from the American designer and artist Abigail Pfeffer.  Hand blown and hand painted in Poland.

This ornament is perfect for the young or young at heart!

When Pigs Fly

A flying pig is a figure of speech.  The popular saying that something will happen “when pigs fly” means that the thing is an impossibility.  But for children, during this magical time of the year pigs might just fly. 

Chances are that pigs will never fly, but I do know that this is the most beautiful “when pigs fly” ornament.  It is from Abigail’s Collection and hand blown and hand painted imported from Poland.  I am positive that children will find this delightful on their Christmas tree.

Purple Finial

The IT color of the season is purple and what could be more beautiful for this Christmas season than a purple finial.   

A grouping of finials on the mantel or for a table centerpiece, make an impact of elegence and style.  Be sure to get several for your holiday decorating. 

This finial is hand blown and hand painted from Poland and represents the ultimate in elegence.  This would be gorgeous on your mantel or holiday table!

 

RIBBON CANDY

 

Bring  back childhood memories with an old fashion tree full of traditional candies.  Ornaments are handblown glass handpainted in Poland,  just the quality for the collector in you.  Put a look of delight in the eyes of the children in your family with a ’sweet’ theme tree!!

 

 

 

 

 

Wedding Set

According to the old German tradition, the tree of a newlywed couple should include these twelve ornaments to insure blessings and happiness for their life together.

This wedding set of twelve  are hand blown and hand painted in Germany and make a wonderful gift for the newlywed couple or a lovely and unusual wedding or shower gift.

Each ornament will make a lovely keepsake for that new couple as they begin their life together and the start of a beautiful collection of Christmas ornaments.

Angels, or the belief in higher spirits – guardians from the spirt world have existed within many cultures for thousand of years. 

We especially like to use angels throughout the Christmas season in our homes and on our Christmas trees.  Angels are devine helpers or messengers that often help us keep the true spirit and meaning of Christmas alive throughout this busy season.

I like to have an angel finial on top of my Christmas tree.  I love the angel finial from the Abigail Collection of hand blown and hand painted glass ornaments from Poland.  This finial would be perfect for any Christmas tree this year!

May the spirit of Christmas be alive all year long!

Choose a ‘THEME’ tree from your favorite fictional characters!!!  These will be the delight of any child or the child in you!  Alice in Wonderland makes the most unusual and delightful tree for your holiday decorating with these handblown glass ornaments all handpainted.
