We are offering huge discounts for early bird shoppers who want to get the best of our Vintage Christmas Ornaments, Angels and Nativity Miniatures! Many items are only $0.99. We have lots and lots of items imported from Germany in the 70's and 80's and need to sell the remaining inventory this holiday season. And when these items are gone, they are gone forever!
While we are cleaning up the remnants of the last bit of wrapping paper from our Christmas celebration, I wanted to share one last Christmas themed post. This one comes from Olivia and her blog A Field Journal. While I do not know Olivia, I am really impressed by her skills at not only decorating her tree, but also in making all the ornaments. Plus, she is offering details on how to make these beautiful ornaments, including down-loadable templates. To see more, click below for more pictures!

I was never in the military, but you do not need to be a active service personnel to know what it must feel like to be thousands of miles away during the holidays. . This is not about politics. It is not about war. This group is about families and helping those who are protecting us, get home to see their moms, dads, brothers, sisters and children. It is worthy, and while I do normally put these types of programs in front of my readers, this is one I support and know some of you will feel the same way. Read more by clicking here.
As I surf the web and talk to customers I am seeing alot of great ideas around taking cheap "store purchased" Christmas Ornaments and with a little thought, some common supplies and some Glitter, viola! Something really unique!
These Are The Days (an Etsy seller) has proven this with a really nice Ornment with a bit of lace and some old Sheet Music. Very, very trendy and a wonderful use of "everyday" supplies we all can get our hands on to! Click on over to their store to see more pictures!
A few days ago I did a post of Putz Houses (Little Glitter Houses that came out around Christmas time). I had promised more info about these little devils and this is a follow up to that promise!
I just love these little houses, and not just because they use Glitter! We had them as a kid and I still think they scream Christmas, when ever I see one. I have accumulated a ton of info about these houses (call me an expert if you wish) and want to share some links that, if you love Putz, you will love as well.
So, for today, I want to suggest that all us Putz-heads click on over to "Little Glitter Houses" where you will find more Putz House photos then you could ever need! (Also, Putz Castles, Cabins, Lighthouses - oh my!)
Here is a couple more pictures to get you in the mood, but for the whole site (plus lots of other Putz info, chick here!
Bev at All the things I Love, designs some of most beautiful hand crafted cards around. Her site is chock full of wonderful designs that are all being offered for sale. Look at the Blue Christmas, Wild Orchid Challange, just wonderful. And anyone who says "I dipped this into silver German Glitter Glass (OMW this stuff is just so gorgeous IRL, the sparkle is amazing!)" is my type of designer!
When I was growing up, we had lots of Glitter coated cardboard houses that my mom called her" Putz Houses" We had a whole village of them, and if I crashed one of my toy cars into them.... watch out! They only came out at Christmas and saddly, now are lost to history.
However, I am not the only one who loves little Putz houses! Today, I offer up the first in a series about these little glittery devils, from Karin Corbin. She has a great post about the houses she has built and how she found the designs. Just one comment, White Glitter makes great snow, and looks wonderful on little bottle brush trees to complete the holiday look!
Check out her blog, and watch for more on Putz houses from your (I hope) favorite Glittery Blog.
We are always on the look out for professional designers that grab a theme and build it out with a whole host of creations. Today, we are proud to present A Touch of Grace, who has a great blog, loaded with ideas, projects and links and of course, ample Glass Glitter!
Take a look at how Jerri has tied together a number of great projects, that work together, and at the same time stand alone as a complete design. Very nice and worth a look!
