Show Me Christmas

If you don’t know much about hand-blown glass, it’s about time to learn. A craft that requires patience and creativity, hand-made glass pieces offer a unique art form with every design. Each swirl of color that winds around the shape of every piece has been carefully placed and contorted to represent the artistic mind of its creator.

Items such as handblown glass ornaments are exquisite additions to any glass Christmas ornament collection you may have. Delicately vivid, these ornaments will spread holiday cheer every time you see it on your Christmas tree. Great for presents or home decoration, the receiver of a glass ornament will possess a truly artistic facet of holiday tradition.

You might think leopard print and Christmas decorations would not go together,  but I think a Christmas tree with leopard ball ornaments mixed with gold and black ornaments would be stunning.  Tied together with black or gold trim and topped with the leopard finial.  (The finial is the same exact print as the ball ornament – the picture is just fuzzy).  Add a little funk to your Christmas decorations this year.

These are hand blown and hand painted ornaments and finial from Poland.  The hand painting is exquisite.  I can’t wait to see these on a tree this year at Christmas time.  This would be fabulous!  You won’t see this tree everywhere.

Happy Holidays!

If you are looking for something different this year for your Christmas tree.  If you like the unusual, look no further than these Polish hand blown and hand painted ornaments.   The accompaning finial will truly top off your Christmas tree with style.  

I feel it is difficult to find ornaments that are truly different, but these are unique.  What a beautiful tree this would make mix in with red, gold or black ornaments and ribbon trim. Gorgeous!

Happy Holidays!

I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about Christmas again!  It’s the happiest time of the year.  However, it is only happy if you plan ahead.  You need to plan for decorating , gifts and holiday food. 

Holiday traditions can help you with your decorating.  It is always fun to add a few new hand blown glass ornaments to your heirloom collection.  Collectibles are truly an investment in a lifetime of memories.

For the avid collector these hand blown glass ornaments from Poland, make an ideal gift for Christmas.  Anyone who enjoys old world charm and tradition will delight in a special ornament as a gift at Christmas time.

The holiday food is always the easiest to plan for because it is always based on long standing traditions in your family.  You might try a new recipe, but if your family is like mine – they will say oh no what happened to my favorite pie etc. 

Do yourself a favor and start your plans soon, if you haven’t already – that way you can truly enjoy the approaching family time.

Happy Holidays!

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.

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.

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.
