Crystal Ornaments

Crystal, or glass, ornaments are a delight when placed where they can capture and refract light from candles, Christmas tree lights or even sunlight.  Since ornaments come in nearly any size or shape, they can complement almost any theme or decor.  Even better is to use them all year round once you have built a collection up!

One of my favorite crystal ornament sites is Bombkarnia . Many of their ornaments harken back to old Europe styles, but they have expanded the line to include pets, cars, nutcrackers and even bunnies (for Easter). Their heavy use of beads, ribbon and such reminds me of my Grandmother's handmade ornaments which are now vintage being nearly 50 years old!
