Penquins on Ice

What is it that makes penquins just irresistible to most people? 

One thing we are fascinated by is that penquins spend half of their life on land and half in the ocean.

Another fascination is the way penquins move.  Penquins either waddle on their feet or slide on their bellies across the snow, a movement call “tobogganing” which conserves energy while moving quickly.  They also jump with both feet together if they want to move more quickly or cross steep or rocky terrain.

We are fascinated by the way penquins look.  All penquins are countershaded for camouflage – they have black backs and wings with white fronts.  A predator looking up from below water has difficulty distinquishing between a white penquin belly and the reflective water surface.  The dark plumage on their backs camouflages them from above.

Another fascination is that penquins for the most part breed in large colonies which results in a high level of social interaction between penquins.

If you are a penquin lover, this is the ornament for you.  This penquin family is dressed in brightly colored hats and scarves and has been hand blown and hand painted in Poland.  This will make a great addition to your ornament collection!

Bride and Groom Ornament

If you know someone that has married this last year or in the last few years, and are thinking  of a unique gift for them this year at Christmas time then take a look at this delightful old fashion bride and groom ornament. 

I love the idea of  starting keepsake ornaments for the couple that they can add to each year.  What a perfect way for them to start their Christmas collection.

This is the nicest bride and groom ornament which was  hand blown and hand painted in Poland.  The detailed work is exquisite!

Ginger Jar Ornaments

  For many, many years people have decorated with ginger jars.  It might be as a lamp base, a vase or other art object.  Many collectors are attracted by what is know as the old blue and white. 

I love looking for unusual Christmas ornaments and really fell in love with these unique hand blown and hand painted ginger jar ornaments from Poland.

These ornaments will really be new and different for your Christmas tree this year.
