One of my obsessions...

I have to admit that I am a little bit of a hoarder, at least when it comes to Christmas ornaments. I don't know when this obsession started but I have always loved Christmas—especially decorating the tree.

I started collecting vintage bulbs years ago. I found most of them at flea markets and garage sales and have enough to decorate at least 3 – 6 trees! And even though I have plastic totes full of ornaments (you should see my storage room), I'm still buying. Why??!!

 I couldn't resist buying these Christopher Radko ornaments which resembles the vintage ones from the 50s.

And I can't resist hand-blown glass ornaments from Poland. I add a few to my collection every year. 

These are my favorite Polish ornaments, tiny little egg-shape bulbs in an egg carton.

Some silver and sparkly ones I bought two years ago at Petitti Garden Center, after the holidays at a bargain price of 75% off. Who can say no to that!

And my latest addition that I just bought last week, also at a bargain price!

I will be downsizing soon, I promise! 

Happy 2014!
