As I have said, you can NEVER have too many banners (or Garland!). From Marie's Marketplace on Etsy, a great selection of Holiday (and not holiday!) garland, some with Glass Glitter, some without. (Of the coarse the Glass Glitter ones look sooooooooooooo much better! :-)

I did one of my Etsy searches for Glass Glitter and have to say Glass Glitter is HOT, HOT, HOT! Wow, over 5,000 listing for Glass Glitter. Now, of course, I wish all of it came from us, but that is not the point! I recognize plenty of names, but also see Glitter from other companies (funny - many of the cheaper glitter do not say if comes from Germany. Hey, I'm just saying......) But any thing glittery is good! So click here to see all 5,000 Glittery items on Etsy.
There is a long history of using Walnut Shells in Holiday Craft projects, just check out this list here! If you think about it, in the "old days" they were always around and were cheap! Why not use them in crafting! We agree!
For years we have imported from Germany these very detailed, diecast plastic walnut shells and sell them like hotcakes. We have both empty shells and shells with Christmas or Forest scenes already built into them. <<For pricing and more photos, click here >>
Just to get you thinking, here are a bunch of cool projects created with...... Walnut Shells!

glittered hanging acorn ornaments
While we talk about our Glitter in most of blog posts, the reality is that we probably sell as many Vintage German Miniatures as we do Glitters. (A true fact). Maybe we should call this blog, "Everything Glitter and Tiny" or something like that.
Just in case do you not believe me, just check this out! Jennifer Arndt has sent us photos of some of the items she has created from our German Miniatures and there is
so much to see in her Etsy Shop. Really impressive! Can you find all the little goodies from Meyer Imports in these photos? There is a bunch of them! To learn more about the history of our miniatures, just click here. To see Jennifer's Shop, just click here! And now, onto more great pictures of her creations!
(PS: Is that Glas Glitter I see as well?)
By the looks of what is going up on Etsy, it looks like it is going to be a very Glittery Spring! Here are just a few treasures I have found in my recent visit to Etsy! First up, SEVEN Layers of German Glitter on an Egg. Wow! Check out Fleurdebee's shop to see these, plus alot more!
And what would Springtime be without a glass glittered bunny ornament? Check out this little glittery guy over at Kristen's Crepe Confectionary! And While you are there, make sure to check out her wonderful Easter and Spring Glitter Eggs!
And while we are talking about Glittery Spring Eggs, make sure to check out Christopher Pines cute little Glittery Bird Eggs!

And as you look at these wonderful Etsy items, remember our little Glittery Theme Song:
(please sing with me!)
"Make it special with real German Glass Glitter, with the Silver base that gives us that nice patina over time. Yes Glitter! Glitter! Real German Glass Glitter! The most sparkly Glitter Around!". (repeat twice and end)....
(words and music copyright Meyer Imports 2011)

German Glass Glitter Acorns by Tuckerreece
It is time for another edition of our World Famous "Found on Etsy" where we locate great items that display a interesting use of (drum roll please..) Glass Glitter. As before, some of these artist might be customers, might not be, don't really care. What I do care about is the fact that they are doing interesting things with my favorite product..... (another drum roll please...) Glass Glitter!
The first up is some beautiful Glittered Acorns by Tuckerreece, (above) Love the way that she is using both Silver and BLACK glitter. Wow. Probably the best use of Black glitter I've seen....
Dictionary Glass Glitter Snowflake by House of White
A very interesting take on Christmas, Shabby, Glittery, and vintage paper all rolled into one. A wonderful handmade snowflake ornament. Made with silver glass glitter and vintage dictionary pages. Check out House of White's Etsy shop here
Green Glitter Cove Christmas Trees by cherry6goddess1
Three trees in Christmas Tree Green (glitter) with sequins. Sometimes the easier, basic designs aer the best. I could see this as a centerpiece, on your mantel, or on a coffee table holiday display. Very nice! See them here!
JOY Snowflake Garland by pearliebird
"Yummy decorative paper, creamy with gold swirls, is reinforced with matte board, and decorated with red snowflakes, turquoise paper scallops and gold glass glittered letters". Well, I have nothing to add to that! Just wonderful! See it 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!
