Thomas Glenn Display, Atlanta 2013

Shortly after Christmas 2012, ornament designers and companies from around the world gathered in Atlanta as AmericasMart debuted new holiday collections.

Christopher Radko, Joy to the World Collectibles, Christina’s World, JingleNog, Eric Cortina, Soffieria De Carlini, Kurt Adler Presents David Strand, Bethany Lowe Designs, Thomas Glenn, Mattarusky, Debbie Thibault, Inge-glas of Germany, Vaillaincourt Folk Art … familiar names to ornament collectors.

I’ve been in Atlanta for nearly a week and will be flying home to Ohio this afternoon. Of course, I found lots of beautiful and innovative designs for the coming year. Most won’t ship to designers until late summer.  Look for blog updates over the following week as I share what’s on the horizon for glass Christmas and holiday ornaments.

Below are four new designs or colorations from Thomas Glenn Holidays. Many will recognize the Thomas Glenn name from reading Celebrate365 magazine. Glenn is a contemporary artist who has extended his sense of style to holiday ornaments. In fact, one of his designs was featured in O Magazine.

As the Year of the Dragon Draws to a Close …

Little Dragon Sadie … Our Snow Angel

Sadie Porcher

Born six months ago, Sadie is a Year of the Dragon baby and our newest Porcher niece. She arrived in Ohio for a Christmas visit amid a near blizzard snowfall. She became our sweet little snow angel enjoying her first winter outing.

Why is Sadie our Little Dragon Girl?

According to the Chinese Zodiac, an animal rules each of the 12 years of the Lunar calendar.  The Year of the Dragon 2012 has been a Yang Water year.  The Dragon is a strengthening Yang sign. Water favors communications, transportation and learning.  The Dragon’s bold, generous and passionate traits have been qualities throughout the year.

The Water Dragon 2012

Chinese tradition suggests that water has a calming effect on the Dragon’s sometimes overpowering temperament. The water calms the Dragon’s personality, making them more perceptive of others.

Dragons love thrilling risks and burn the candle at both ends.  Luckily, they are blessed with good health. Among the most hearty of the Animal signs, they can suffer bad health as a result of stress. Symptoms of their personalities often stem from emotional outbursts and can range from tension headaches to depression to hypertension. Dragons can remedy these problems by maintaining their cool, implementing a routine in their daily lives, and utilizing exercises such as yoga or tai kwon do that soothe the mind and spirit as well as tone the body.
