Thanks to the 3 of you for your kind comments....I truly appreciate it. I see other posts get upwards of 20 comments so I really do value yours....maybe I am weird with these postings but I truly enjoy the whimsy of ornaments and spend lots of time seeking out the unusual...obviously not a shared interest of many....guess I am just quirky that way :-).
Silver Fox,...The great stage/movie ornaments are manufactured by a Oregon company "Ornaments to Remember". It's a neat non-profit. They help parents through the The Learning Community, a organization whose mission is helping parents become better persons in guiding their families to become valuable contributing members to society....kind of a second chance deal.
I'm just a female who is a work in progress and imperfectly fun. I perfer a fanasty life and can't make prompt decisions but, did I mention?, I am imperfectly fun.-----------------
Ornaments on these pages are reminiscent of “old world” ornaments which originated by craftsmen in Eastern Europe in 1847. The originals were a cottage industry. Individual molds were owned by various families. To make hard earned money, families carved molds from hard woods, blew molten glass into said molds, silver lined the inside, at first with mercury or lead, then later using a special compound of silver nitrate and sugar water. … (very dangerous) and meticulously hand painted the outside finishing off products with mica dust. I own a few true original treasures passed down from my family. For the most part my collection is relatively new. Ornaments are now mass produced …machine blown, still in Eastern Europe (Poland, Germany), Italy, Japan as well as the United States but oh the memories they evoke for my family who are beneficiaries of a few new babbles each year as well as friends who share my fascination.
