Easter eggs or spring eggs are special eggs that are often given to celebrate Easter or springtime. The oldest tradition is to use dyed or painted chicken eggs, but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs, or plastic eggs filled with candy such as jelly beans. Easter eggs are a widely popular symbol of new life in Bulgaria, Russia, Romania, Ukraine, Poland and Slavic countries’ folk traditions. There are many different ways that these countries make and decorate Easter eggs.
Some of the prettiest are the Polish hand blown and hand painted Easter egg ornaments from Tannenbaum Treasures. These come in a set of six Easter eggs in assorted easter colors. These glass egg ornaments are all intricately designed, beautifully ornate accented with jewels and glitter. These elegant hand blown glass egg ornaments will make a fabulous presentation this spring.
As I was packing up the Christmas tree ornaments, I noticed two little dolls that I hadn’t seen before. I asked my grandma if she had put them on the tree, and she replied that she had and that they were a gift for me. They are Polish Christmas ornaments, hand-crafted and hand-painted to look like dancers wearing traditional Polish costumes. My grandmother had hung them on her tree as a child in Poland and was pleased to have them hang now in her granddaughter’s home.

It seems that after each holiday season, I walk away with a new tradition to try next year. This Christmas, I was fortunate enough to host my elderly grandmother in my home. Grandma grew up in Poland before immigrating to the U.S. as a teenager. She pushed for my mother to become an American girl, but did not eradicate her home of Polish traditions, like baking traditional Polish treats for the holidays.
