because there is so much here, we will be posting detailed photos of this collection on our blog. please visit us at www.polkadotrose.blogspot.com for additional photos. we had fun putting this together for you! everything you need to kick start your holiday decorating, vintage style.
if you've browsed our shop before, then you know how we love the pastel christmas decorations from the 1950s and 60s. we just never get enough!
we've put together this assortment for you:
6 large u.s.a. made pastel glass ornaments: 3 pale pink shiny brite ornaments, 1 aqua striped, 1 pale green, and 1 mica frosted hot pink with silver glitter stars.
next, you will receive 7 specialty glass ornaments: pink mica topped grape cluster; a gold round shiny brite u.s.a made pinecone; an old european blown glass santa (his colors have, over the years, mellowed and aged to a fabulous pastel pallette); a large shiny brite u.s.a. made pale blue bell with clapper and mica frosting ; a silver shiny brite u.s.a. bell; and two tiny bells, one silver, and one pink.
next, 3 'corsage' or package decorations: one gold foil with a glass bead center; one deep turquoise blue foil with a glass bead center; and a 'corsage' with three grape-shaped ornaments in aqua and silver with silver foil leaves and two mercury glass bead picks.
also included are 13 mercury glass bead stems: some are short, some longer, in shades of silver, chartreuse, and aqua.
we have also selected 3 mercury glass bead short garlands. these look great hanging from your tree, piled in a compote, or hanging anywhere you need a bit of dazzle. two strands have multi-pastel colored beads in shades of blue, green, red, pink, silver and gold. there are double beads and larger spacer beads; also included is a strand of silver with pink . these are large size mercury glass beads.
to finish off the collection, we have selected two dozen assorted small 'feather tree' glass ornaments: 4 each of varying colors of green, aqua, hot pink, silver, pale pink and gold. these vary in size as well as color.
56 pieces in all, all vintage, and all fabulous.
these are old pieces and as such do have wear, color loss in places and fading. (but no broken beads) we love the patina of old ornaments and know you do, too!
