Baubles, Bangles & Beads

 

The tradition of decorating with rushes of palm, from Ancient Egypt and Rome evolved into a myriad of worldwide traditions of decorating for the Winter Solstice or the Judeo-Christian holidays of the winter months. Tinsel, candles, apples, nests, glass ornaments of every shape and size, mistletoe, sparkling fruits, ribbon bows, and electric lights in a rainbow of colors or shimmering white…these are the ornaments that bring the holiday season to life. Ornaments and decorations of all kinds, in endless combinations, allow us to express our personal style, and add instant warmth and good cheer to any home. Go ahead: deck the halls!
