There are a BUNCH of fake ornaments being sold on German ebay right now and they are making their way to US ebay. BEWARE of German sellers describing "rare" or "older" figural ornaments. Some of the fakes include ANY Hindenburg busts, most all zeppelins, Mary holding the baby Jesus, the singing frog, girl heads, the bust of Christ and many more! They are using old caps or clips, but the paint colors are not quite right, the weight of the glass is slightly heavier, the silvering is way to bright...

When it comes to Thanksgiving I love EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. I love the food, the decor, the parade, the family all gathered together, the football.... everything.... well not the clean up in the kitchen. LOL It is such an awesome yet oftentimes overlooked holiday. The stores jump from Halloween to Christmas. Not many stores have much in the way of Thanksgiving decor and accessories. I like a mixture of prim, cutesy, and elegant decor. What do you prefer? If you have pics of...

Hello all I am a newbie here, and would much appreciate any input on starting out selling. I have no feedback yet ( I have made a few small purchases, but have not yet received the FB for those), and would like to know if it would be even worth trying to sell anything ? Would you be comfortable bidding on an auction with a seller with no FB? I was thinking maybe starting them very low to entice buyers, and hopefully would overshine the no FB. I have many vintage xmas items, but are the...

Hello, I am making a basket for a charity auction and want to include a Julia Child cookbook. I am hoping for suggestions as to what else I could put in the basket that would add to the Julia Child theme, besides French wine.

I am a preschool teacher and our class was asked to make ornaments to go on a Christmas tree in the park downtown. Does anyone have any ideas on ornaments easy enough for 4 and 5 year olds to make AND be able to withstand outside weather? Thanks in advance! Bev

Hello all, I wonder if anyone here has seen reproduction blown glass ornaments like this one. It's right at 5 1/2" in diameter. It's obviously blown and crudely engraved with three trees or bushes that are decorated with flowers and.....such. Is it some Indian repro from Target, or could it be old? There is some yellowed glue in the cap of the top. Any opinions are appreciated. -Steve

I started mine this year in May...they did wonderfully.....now Im really hitting it hard and things look good for this season so far. It just seems to be earlier and earlier every year that passes...I think soon I will just make Holiday items all throughout the year as long as I can get the supplies. What does everyone else see on their end??? I hope we all have a bang up 2009 Holiday season! NanaJules

Hello all. I am trying to help my sister. She has recently started collecting the St Nicholas Square village collection, and we are trying to locate a list somewhere of all the items that have come out up to this point. We have searched and searched to no avail. Does anyone have any idea where this information is available? Thanks!

I have some vintage Christmas items to list - but I just can't seem to figure out the vtg Christmas market! I usually focus my online research to vintage clothing, where dating the item is of particular importance. Is this also true for vtg Christmas items? For these cuties, I'm wondering if anybody has an age - or KWs. I know in dolls the big eyes are desirable - are they equally desirable in... reindeer? I also have this "Made in Japan" glass house... it plugs in and the green...
