Main tree with my favorite balls and drops, started collecting in 2001.
I started collecting Russians in 2003 after I read about them on the Glasslinks. There is a Breen Angel of Light in the center, a gift from a friend. It is fun to collect, but more rewarding to help others and my angel from the Birmingham Crisis Center reminds me of the pleasure I get from helping others. A big "thank you" to all the great people on the links who helped me collect my treasures over the past years.
The little gems tree in the family room, started collecting these in 2002.
Snow in Las Vegas!
We got 3" of heaven. We NEVER get this much snow. It was the heavy wet kind. Kids were actually out in the middle of the night making snowmen and snowboarding on the hills. Now at 1pm it is all gone.
Judy decided to display her ornaments on white twig trees this season ... and the results are spectacular. At left, a black & white motif. At right, vintage Radko balls and drops. (Click the hot spots.)
At left:
Radko Russians as well as A Shy Rabbit's Heart.
