Show Me Christmas

I am always seaching for a meaningful gift for that person who means so much to me.  The person that is there for you through thick and thin.  A person that always listens to you through the good and the bad.  A longtime symbol of hospitality, a teapot ornament is an excellent gift to remind friends and family how we cherish conversations and time spent together.

Nothing says ‘friends forever’ like a gift of a teapot ornament.  A hand blown glass teapot ornament is the perfect sign of friendships and love during the holiday season.  Minature teapots make wonderful gifts and are also perfect for your Christmas tree.                                                      

Much of the fun of Christmas has been handed down from generation to generation through the legends and traditions of the old country.  One that I love is the legend of the glass Christmas pickle.  The tradition is that on Christmas Eve a glass pickle ornament is hidden among other Christmas ornaments on the Christmas tree.  On Christmas morning the first child to find the pickle receives an extra surprise.

This legend was even made into a special rhyme which goes like this:

“To start a tradition that surely will last. Here’s a short story about the pickle of glass. The night before Christmas it’s hung on the tree. While everyone’s sleeping it’s done secretly. And on Christmas morning when you arise. The first one to find it will get a surprise.”

So, for some extra fun this Christmas season be sure to purchase a hand blown glass pickle ornament.  Happy hunting!

“Tally Ho” is a call by a rider to excite the hounds when a fox is spotted during a fox hunt.  This mainly British phrase was originated sometime in the 1700’s and is still used today. 

These days coyotes are hunted as much as the fox and seldom is either one killed.  The sport is enjoyed by horsemen as much for the ride and the day out as anything else.

This series of hand blown glass ornaments is perfect for the equestrian enthusiast.  They make a great theme tree or can be displayed individually on an ornament stand.

What a great gift for the horseman in your family!!

Do you want to be known as the person who has that “extra touch”?  We all know a person who does.  Well, this year you can be the one with the “extra touch”.

Every gift exchange can be a handpainted glass ornament chosen to suit the occassion.  Each baby gift can have an ornament for baby’s first christmas.  Each wedding or shower gift can include an ornament to start the new bride with a collection of quality hand blown glass ornaments.

This year all your friends will be saying “Why didn’t I think of that?”

Merry Christmas and Happy Giving!!

Many special occasions or celebrations call for toasting with wine or champagne.  In addition to Christmas and New Year’s, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and graduations, etc. all call for a toast.

These delightful hand blown glass ornaments will add a festive touch to any tree as a reminder of those good times.

Tie a champagne ornament in with the bow on your next wedding, anniversary, Christmas gift or bottle of wine for that perfect ‘extra touch’ .

Salute!!
