Poetry in Glass
Welcome to Christina's World, home of beautiful glass ornaments.
The inspiration for Christina's designs comes to her from many sources:
her extensive travels in Europe, Russia, and the Orient; Her studies in Italian,
French and Psychology; her former lives as a Ballet dancer and dance
therapist, and her experience as Vice President of Marketing with
Creative Art Flowers, Inc. for ten years. Her mother was a dress designer
and Christina attributes her taste and sensitivity to color palettes from
having grown up surrounded by wonderful textiles. There's also her Arabic
heritage to which she attributes her love of intricate design and quality
craftsmanship. Along with these many diverse influences, Christina's current
passion for writing poetic verse serves as the prime inspiration for her
designs. Her poetry graces the pages of her catalogs and gives the reader
food for thought while they peruse the lovely designs which she offers. As
there is never a dearth of inspiration for the poems, so Christina is never
at a loss in creating her new designs.
You will find the most wonderful and unique limited edition Santas in
Christina's line, like the Fur Hat Santa, trimmed with real maribu, the
Button Santa, from a forties button cover, and Windswept Santa, from a
Russian paper mache ornament. Christina's specialty, however, is elegant and
oversized flower designs on glass. These are a delight to display year
round. There are also whimsical beaded ornaments, animal figurals, old
fashioned clip on birds, bead garlands and finials for every budget.
Christina's wish is that ornaments should remind us of our most highly
cherished values - beauty, family, faith, and tradition - the values that
take nurturing to flourish, not just at the holidays, but all year long. If
her ornaments give joy and add a sense of poetry to your life and that of
your loved ones, she will consider her work a success.
We hope that you enjoy the website and visit us often.
