Vintage Glass Ornaments
Vintage Glass Ornaments played a BIG part
in my childhood memory as far as Christmas is concerned.
My mother was mad about them. She collected the hand blown ornaments
despite what my father thought. Her collection wasn’t big and it wasn’t impressive, but
it made an impression on me because I knew she loved them. But she didn’t
hoard over them, she shared them with us children and if one dropped
and shattered (which they did on occasion) we cleaned it up and went on.
Her love for them has fueled my love for them. Most of her collection was disposed
of when she passed (That is another story). But my husband and I have spent
years now slowly collecting duplicates that we can find via the internet and antique stores.
We have also started a tradition with our children of buying a new hand blown ornament
for each of them as we find ones that match their personalities.
I love how people have taken photographs of their collections and posted them.
I need to do the same, but for now I will enjoy their handiwork.
Enjoy!
Merry Christmas!
