Best Handblown Glass Christmas Ornaments

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Unique glass ornaments are the most sought after ornaments this year.

        

At Ornaments.com, we hear from hundreds of gift buyers and collectors.  Many are looking for personalized ornaments, but almost everyone wants at least a few traditional glass ornaments for their Christmas tree.  We are picturing just a few of the favorite choices for handcrafted sphere type ornaments to add to the holiday spirit.  With a variety of ways to display ornamentsicon besides the traditional Christmas tree, you can keep these designer ornaments up year round to extend your holiday celebrations. 

Christmas is a season of goodwill and cheer.  Getting together with family and friends at this special time of year is something that everyone looks forward to.  Gathering around a Christmas tree decorated with beautiful ornaments and with good food and friends makes the season complete.

Christmas is celebrated around the world.  However, each culture has their own traditions. Many families gather together to decorate the Christmas tree with their favorite ornaments and to share precious family moments. It builds lasting memories that are cherished year after year and adding a special ornament each Christmas or adding a new ornament to celebrate the milestones of the year adds to the family traditions. Christmas decorations come in many shapes, sizes and colors.  However for those with  sophisticated tastes, hand painted blown glass ornaments are an excellent way to add elegance to any Christmas tree.   Tastes may range from a monochrome of  one color to a splash of festive colors and there are hundreds of wonderful vendors on The Ornaments Directory to choose from. 

Common themes for hand painted blown glass ornaments are Santa, Angels, Poinsettias, Snowmen and bells, but many artists also design in an impressionistic or artglass style, leaving the interpretation up to the viewer. The glass ornaments are crafted by artists whose delicate touch creates exquisite masterpieces that are treasured through the years.

Although ornaments are associated with Christmas, handblown glass ornaments are created for every season and occasion. Handpainted and handblown glass ornaments add a touch of class to any occasion. Collectors anticipate adding new and beautifully handcrafted pieces to their collections. Many of the handblown ornaments are signed by the artist to give it a uniqueness that is second to none. 

If you are still Christmas shopping, picture your gift recipients receiving one of the exquisite handblown glass  ornaments December 24.  There is still time for them to enjoy the ornament through the holidays, and they will remember your thoughtfulness when they unpack the ornament each year.

This is Hawaiiana at its best with handcrafted ornaments made from shells.

    

Although you may be looking forward to the approaching winter and maybe a few gray days, browsing the MauiChristmas.com site will make you long for tropical breezes and walks on sandy beaches.  Many of their Christmas ornaments are crafted from the natural shells of Hawaii, and you can almost smell the fragrant orchid leis with a hint of ocean spray in the background.

The decorative shell ornaments like this snowflake ornament are so creative and you would think that with the hundreds of tiny shells that make up this ornament that it would take hours to make.  I am amazed that this lovely design can be purchased for only $8!   That is a real bargain for a special ornament to add to your Christmas tree.  Speaking of Christmas trees, you will want to check out the Christmas tree decorated with all Hawaiian ornaments at MauiChristmas.com. 

There is such a variety of ornaments on this site including novelty ornaments, angel ornaments, santa ornaments, and many Hawaiian flower ornaments, and many of their ornaments are not  made from shells.  Some of the ornament designs are handcrafted and handcarved from the local basswood and that makes for an ornament that will last for many years.  Indulge in a little piece of the tropics with one of these lovely tropical Christmas ornaments.

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

This multi-million dollar company is a world leader in ornaments.

   

ChemArt began as a one-man business in 1976, and they combine several techniques to create over 15 different lines of ornaments, including custom ornaments. Their ornament making process includes photo chemical etching, plating, and screen printing, and this is all done in one location in Rhode Island.  Designing, creating, processing and marketing in one central place assures the high quality of each ornament. The staff at ChemArt is proud to tell you that all of their beautiful ornaments are made in America.

Founder and CEO Richard Beaupre is a chemist, and started ChemArt over 30 years ago.  Mr. Beaupre’s special training as a chemist, his natural artistic talents, and his burning desire to have his own business all worked together to make the 33 year old business a success.  He was able to apply his knowledge as a chemist to creating and processing the ornaments seen in the ChemArt collections such as Baldwin ornaments, Tropical ornaments, Christmas Symphony® ornaments, Toy Chest® ornaments, and so many more ”must-see” assortments. 

You can find the ornaments in stores, but you may want to visit ChemArt first to narrow your choices.  There are so many gorgeous ornaments to choose from.  Enjoy!

Christmas Ornaments from Around the World

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Diane Weller travels worldwide to find the best Christmas ornaments.

This year OrnamentShop.com celebrates their 27th year in the business of selling Christmas decorations and gifts. The combination of experience and success has given them the background necessary to create an exciting ornament shopping experience through ChristmasOrnaments.com.

Owner Diane Weller has traveled far and wide buying for her company’s personalized ornament site, and she says that she has often come across ornaments that have no space for personalizing, and she has wanted to buy them. Her marketing people have always said “Stick to personalized ornaments, that’s what this site is all about.” Each year, Diane would get calls and emails from customers, asking her why her ornaments company didn’t offer Christmas ornaments from around the world. So, she continued to pester the marketing team…and finally they said “We give up! Let’s do it”

Now Diane feels like she has the whole world to shop in, and she loves every minute of it! Her buying experiences of the past have served her well, as now she can go back to some of the companies where she previously “window shopped” and actually buy to her heart’s content. And, when taking a look at some of the ornaments on OrnamentShop.com, she saw pretty quickly that some of those ornaments would also be beautiful on a tree, personalized or not.

At ChristmasOrnaments.com, you may shop knowing that the ornaments, gifts and decorations you select will not only be beautiful, but they also will be made with the finest quality materials. Just what ornament companies will they feature? Well, start with the likes of Byers’ Choice, and you’ll also find selections from Old World Christmas, Heart Gifts and Christmas by Krebs, to name a few. Diane has bought just under 1000 ornaments from 39 different companies for the new ornaments site, and she will be adding many more ornaments during the year.

Diane and her staff hope you enjoy shopping on ChristmasOrnaments.com as much as they have enjoyed doing the buying and planning. They want your feedback, as their company is run based on what they hear from you. Diane asks you to drop her a line with your ideas and suggestions for ornaments. She looks forward to hearing from you and she will definitely write you back!

Snowflake Ornaments – Silver Christmas Gifts

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Each handcrafted snowflake ornament is as unique as a natural snowflake.

The snowflake is always wondrous and always unique. Over generations, families have turned this winter beauty into one of the most highly collected silver Christmas ornaments in the United States. In its premiere snowflake ornament collection, OrangeHOWELL.com by Paula Zanger pays homage to the legacy of this traditional icon with an enchanting collection of holiday ornaments infused with the spirit of American design.

Zanger, who is known for the stunning products she created for companies such as Sasaki, Rosenthal USA, Royal Velvet, Wedgwood: Vera Wang, ABC Carpet & Home, Sofa Soma, and Barneys NY, has designed china, sterling silver and silver-plated gifts and textiles for the luxury market for over 15 years. Her new ornament collection reflects insights garnered from a mentorship with an AGTA fine colored gem dealer and her experience as the creative director for an established New England silversmith. Zanger drew her ideas for snowflake ornaments from the shapes and styles favored by New England silversmiths, updating them with luminous colored crystals that refract and reflect light adding movement to each unique ornament.

Like natural snowflakes, each snowflake ornament in the Orange HOWELL collection is unique. Choose an ornament from charming snowflakes, beveled modernist snowflakes with silhouettes of iconic crystal charms including hearts, stars and crosses dangling at the center. There are also pinwheel snowflake ornaments, startburst ornaments and even custom designed ornaments.

There’s much more to Orange HOWELL than snowflake ornaments. Additional ornament designs include a crystal accented Holly Berry Tree ornament, Hanukah Bush ornament, and Snowman ornament, and they will be adding to their line just in time for Christmas.

Orange HOWELL was named for Paula Zanger’s spirited, great-great-grandfather, a literal “seventh son of a seventh son.  He was a Welsh, Quaker, Hoosier and Farmer. The spirit of innovation inspired by “William and Mary of Orangeâ gives the ornament business its first name. All of the silver snowflake ornaments are handcrafted in the United States and became available online on October 25, 2009.

Shabby Cottage Shops – Pink & Pretty

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Shabby Cottage Shops is celebrating their grand opening.

Shabby Cottage Shops is a great new venue for artists and ornaments designers and was created for individually owned website shops or e-boutiques allowing them to gain exposure, presence and awareness on the internet at a reasonable cost. They offer artists, craftsmen and website boutiques an opportunity to sell their products in an online shopping and networking site atmosphere. They are just getting started, so there are only a couple of members that sell ornaments, including the quilted Dusty Oak Ornaments which you may remember from a review we posted a few weeks back. Their other member that sells ornaments is Linda from RibbonsRosesandMore.com. Linda’s pretty ornaments are pictured above and she also created the Victorian White Pumpkin table ornament which you see pictured on the left.

There are three different levels of membership available on the exciting new mall, each having different benefits. This enables everyone to help promote each other, like a cottage community, ensuring everyone will receive the optimum number of visits and sales. Memberships start at $35.00 per month and there is a six month commitment. Good news! Shabby Cottage Shops will give new members who refer to Ornaments.com a special discount when they join! It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for ornament designers and although many members already have their ornaments displayed on other popular malls, it is not necessary that you have a website to be a part of Shabby Cottage Shops. Of course, if you do have unusual and high quality ornaments, we would love to also include your ornaments on the Ornaments.com Directory.

With the cute store names like Rose Cottage, French Cottage, and Cottage Park Drive, the navigation is easy and logical and they are receiving good reviews and interest. It will be fun to check back with them often as more members add ornaments to their “cottages”.

Personalized Ornaments Send Your Message

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Make personalized ornaments one of your family traditions.

Have you ever noticed that no two Christmas trees look alike? Whether the tree was cut in a forest or assembled out of a box, once it has been decorated, that tree is like no other. The secret lies in the decoration. Christmas ornaments personalize your Christmas tree. Just like snowflakes, no two Christmas trees are alike because the ornaments and combinations of ornaments are different. Christmas ornaments are not just great looking decorations to hang on your Christmas tree each year, they give your tree the exceptional character that makes it unique and special. Personalized ornaments are especially a nice way to mark celebrations and become almost like a family album as you unpack them each year.

Bryna Bell is the owner of OrnamentsWithLove.com which offers over 1400+ personalized ornaments for any occasion. Byrna explains that as your tree becomes personal with the way you decorate it, the ornaments can be made personal and unique as well. Ornaments can be personalized by having the name of the recipient professionally placed on the ornament as it is finished. When completed, the personalization becomes a part of the design of the ornament.

Although personalized Christmas ornaments come in various sizes and shapes and are made from various materials, they have one thing in common in that you cant buy them off the shelf. These personalized ornaments must be individually ordered, specifying the type of personalization you desire. This can be the name of a family member or a friend, a date or even a memorable quote. The personalization is performed professionally and the ornament is then carefully finished, packaged and delivered within a few days of the date you ordered it.

Byrna says that it is important to realize that personalized ornaments are not only gifts for Christmas. When an ornament is personalized with a person’s name and date of the special event, it makes it a wonderful way to remember the day and the person who gave them the gift and becomes part of a tangible timeline of some of the more memorable moments in a person’s life. Important dates such as a graduation, the birth of a child or a wedding are relived again and again. These special hand-decorated ornaments will often be personalized with the name of the person they are given to and will contain a special message such as Happy 21st Birthday or World’s Greatest Mom.

Most personalized ornaments can be purchased online from reputable vendors and many cost under $20, making them a memorable yet inexpensive gift for the holidays that will be enjoyed year after year by the people who receive them. With such competitive prices, personalized ornaments are in the league with greeting cards and will be around for much longer. The thoughtfulness of a personalized ornament is always appreciated. When the family gathers around the tree to decorate it, fond memories will be recalled as each personalized ornament is carefully unwrapped and hung on the tree. When you order a personalized ornament, it sends the message that you care.
