Celebrate Halloween with an Italian flair!
| Flamboyant, whimsical, abstract and timeless; these are the words that describe the mouth-blown character glass ornaments of Soffiera De Carlini. Treasured around the world, the De Carlini workshop near Milan has been producing unique and fanciful creations since 1947. | ||

A Patricia Breen Complimentary Ornament …
I was able to photograph my sister’s prize from the Patricia Breen event held at Stacey Leuliette Gracious Living in Birmingham, Michigan. It is a “cachette” in Breen-ology. I would term it a candy container — something like those from Ino Schaller in Germany. This is much heavier and, as you can see, exceptionally beautiful! This was Benita’s first Patricia Breen ornament event. She certainly was a very lucky winner! Thanks to Patricia, James, Stacey and the staff for hosting an outstanding ornament experience!
It’s Patricia Breen Event Season!

Would you like to connect with like-minded people? Those who share your passion for collecting? Consider this my personal invitation to join me at the Glass Links email discusison list. Long before Celebrate365 was even a concept, I began the Glass Links. It was the mid-1990s … dial-up was the norm. Very few stores were online with shop. Gosh, even Christopher Radko didn’t have a web site. The Glass Links was born of necessity. Collectors simply needed to find out what was out there. What better way than to communicate with one another through that new way of talking — email! While the Glass Links began as a way of discussing glass ornaments, it has certainly evolved from its initial 12 members! The discussion list is now part of Celebrate365 and it is open to one and all. So, whether you are a collector, a designer, a manufacturer or a folk artist, we all have one thing in common. We love holidays and things that relate to them. |
