The Christmas Candlestick Collection is new this year!! If you are looking for a hostess gift or to add elegance to your Christmas entertaining here are some beautiful additions! The candlesticks can be used with a tea light candle on top or by placing a flameless tea light under the bowl of the glass. They can be purchased as a set of three, two or by individual pieces. The candlesticks measure 9 inches tall and will make beautiful centerpieces . My holiday glassware collection is available in the Christmas Collection. You will find Christmas wine glasses in that listing and the patterns you see can be made in Long Stem or Stemless wine glasses. Please feel free to email me with any questions. * If you are purchasing a single candlestick please message me for shipping cost as it may be different from the cost of a set.
Think twice before throwing away vintage Christmas ornaments, retro Jingle Bells, or antique snow globes. They could be worth a pretty penny!

Shiny Brite ornaments were created by American businessman Max Eckardt in 1937. Before World War II, almost all of the glass ornaments on American Christmas trees were imported from Germany. It was…
Wow - last Sunday I was lucky to be invited along to a special Christmas house tour. Jill invited me through her friend, Mary Ann - Thank you so much ladies! This was not open to the public, but to members of The Golden Glow, a national club of vintage Christmas collectors. People who know me or have come to my house know I love all things Christmas. This group, however, is on a whole new level! We toured 3 out of the 5 homes in NJ. Most houses had 10 tress or so and other displays - it was Christmas Heaven. Pretty, pretty pointesettia quilt. I'd love to have one of these. Look who is attending this event, it's Christopher Radko. That was a nice surprise. All of the following photos were taken at one home. I can not give you his name or location, except to say rural NJ, on 3 beautiful acres. He is also master gardener and collects vintage Easter and Halloween decorations and items. He is a serious collector, with the means to indulge. In this custom built addition he has thousands of items on display. They are all in like new condition. Ebay, anyone? On the shelf are salt and peppers, and the bottom portion is filled with vinatage boxed Christmas cards. Me (well my ponytail) and Christopher, I'm a sucker for a celebrity sighting. In the dining a lovely PINK feather tree. A collection of painted turkeys are flocked on the lower shelves. This is a real white feather tree and is covered with plastic icicles. I have some of these thanks to my friend Susan McD. Many me of them glow in the dark. A tree in the sun room - Spinning silver tree with 40's and 50's ornaments and the spinning color wheel - of course :) I hope you enjoyed this Christmas tour, I loved it!
Christmas arrived early in the Chronica Domus household this year thanks to the ornament score of the century Photo: Chronica Domus Old-fashioned, blown glass Christmas tree ornaments have held a special place in my heart since childhood. My mother had a selection of them to decorate the family's Christmas tree along with tinsel and, on occasion, something that to the eyes of a child resembled cotton cobwebs, a rather poor imitation of snow I believe. When I first started my own collection of vintage blown glass Christmas tree ornaments, way back when I landed on this side of the pond in the early 1990's, I was agog to discover the vast quantities available for the picking. Collective antiques shops and thrift stores proved to be fertile stomping grounds for the unusual geometric shapes which comprised my collection. Back then, over-stuffed plastic bags of ornaments could be purchased for a pittance. Over the years, as more people have discovered the joys of decorating their trees with these beguiling baubles, hunting them down become a challenging sport for me. Nowadays, it is a happy and increasingly rare day when I score a handful of fragile 1920's German indents or a World War II era pine cone. With this in mind, you can only imagine how ecstatic I was when my friend Jeannette, a fellow ornament devotee, and I recently attended a sale so extraordinary it was hard to believe we had not conjured it up from our wildest fantasies. Yes, we really were awake, and this really was the Sale of The Century as far as these things go. In fact, there were so many items up for grabs that the sale took place over multiple days. Jeannette and I found it difficult to keep away, and thus we attended not once, but twice. What lucky girls we were! Alas, in my dizzy excitement, I failed to take along my camera but if you'd care to see a fraction of the thousands of exceptional and rare items that were on offer, do please visit the blog of Addison Studio Sale where the many photographs included in the links found here, here, and here, will give you a delicious taste of what we saw. Ron Morgan's fifty year-in-the-making Christmas collection was up for sale and proved to be an ornament collector's wildest fantasy come true Source The collection was amassed over the span of fifty years by Ron Morgan, a well-known local floral designer who recently moved to Mexico. Mr. Morgan had an unerring eye when it came to the quality and rarity of items included in his collection. The blown glass German ornaments, Dresden cardboard figures, Putz animals and houses, strings of glass beads, goose feather trees, lametta tinsel, Belsnickel Father Christmas figures, candy containers, German glass kugels in all shapes, colors, and sizes, together with an assortment of other Christmas ephemera and novelties really should have landed in a museum, en masse. I doubt there's another collection quite like it anywhere else in the world. As it is, Mr. Morgan made many hundreds of keen enthusiasts of Christmas past extremely happy with their recent purchases of items rarely seen on the market. Below is the selection of the glass ornaments I was fortunate enough to have hauled away from the sale. Most of these fragile blown glass ornaments were made in Germany in the 1920's and 1930's Photo: Chronica Domus These are German kugels and were made in the mid to late-nineteenth century, constructed of heavier glass with stamped brass hangers they are extremely sought after and are a rarity Photo: Chronica Domus I look forward to hanging these whimsical beauties from the boughs of our Christmas tree ... Photo: Chronica Domus ... alongside these icy beauties Photo: Chronica Domus I also had the chance of snapping up two early-nineteenth century blown glass vessels known as fairy lights or lanterns. I believe these might actually be leech bowls or jars that someone converted into fairy lights with the clever use of a bit of old tinsel. These cradled small wax candles and helped to cast light on the Christmas tree. Not particularly safe, I know, but lovely nonetheless. Hmmm... are these fairy lights or leech bowls or jars I wonder? Photo: Chronica Domus Jeannette and I are so chuffed with our latest Christmas treasures that our thirst for such things has been quenched, at least we think, for now. On the drive home from the second of the two sales, we revisited the issue of how dire our storage issues have become. In one fell swoop, things just got a lot worse. We agreed, however, that at least they had worsened for the very best of reasons, an abundance of beautiful Christmas tree ornaments. Our latest haul is truly an embarrassment of riches. What is it that you enjoy decorating your tree with, and do you have a favorite ornament you would like to tell me about?
