Artistic Holiday Flare

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. When you purchase a hand-blown glass item, you’ll know that it’s a one-of-a-kind collectable.

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.

Leopard Christmas Decorations

gmc-2017_leopardball_sm.jpggmc-2017ltgd_finialleopard_sm.jpgYou 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!

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.

Make Christmas with Baby Special

Make Christmas with Baby Special

It’s likely that your new baby won’t remember his or her first Christmas, but it is still a very special time for the whole family. For the first time, your baby will breathe in the distinctive scent of a pine Christmas tree, marvel at the Christmas lights, open Christmas presents from Santa, and maybe even see his or her first snowfall. All children love Christmas, and this is just the start of an age-old tradition for your little one. It’s likely he or she won’t keep her first Christmas presents forever, but it is nice to have a keepsake to remember babys first Christmas.

A babys first Christmas ornament is the best way to remember this special time in your child’s life. Whenever you pull it out of storage each year to decorate the tree, you’ll remember how happy your child was during his or her first Christmas. Kids grow so fast, but this ornament will help you remember that very first Christmas with your little one. When your child is older, he or she will marvel at the ornament and treasure it as a keepsake forever.
