Glass Ornaments Decorations
I'm not unique in my love of glass ornaments as decorations not only for the tree, but also for the Christmas table, sideboard, and wreaths on the doors. There's just something extra special about a blown glass ornament. You KNOW a real person, somebody made that ornament from start to finish. Shiny bright colors and gorgeous jewel tones are the icing on the cake when it comes to decorating with glass ornaments. Each one means something; a glass ornament is never just space filler.
Since the explosion of the internet, I thought it would be relatively easy to find 100s of glass ornament shops, and yet there aren't. After a little prodding, I found out that glass Christmas ornaments are much more expensive to store, pack, and ship, and hence, web retailers tend to leave that part of decorations for the holidays to gift shops. My favorite place is called, appropriately enough, GlassOrnamentShop.com. They offer a little more than 500 glass ornaments decorations from both the top designers like Christopher Radko and Russell Rhodes, as well as beautiful, classic, traditional styles like Glass Ornaments from the Old World with everything from little darling squirrels and other animals to classic Santa Claus ornaments.
Whether you're looking to expand your Santa ornaments collection, or searching for a beautiful wedding or anniversary gift, they have a good selection in most categories. Thankfully, we are way beyond the old glass ball ornaments choices of yesteryear. I don't recommend going there for the Made in China bulk glass ornaments boxed sets and that sort of thing. They're higher end, like a retail store, but on the web.
