Dresden Star Ornaments are made with Antique and Vintage Materials
When you click on "Buy From Us – Ornaments" tab, you'll see that Dresden Star Ornaments do not look like new ornaments. They are handcrafted from vintage and antique materials and are created that way on purpose to look intentionally imperfect, like original old ornaments. You will see imperfections in patina and quality of materials, which we believe adds charm and character. The patina and condition of materials varies with each and every ornament. With this in mind, we provide large pictures of the front and back of each ornament on our on-line catalog, so you can accurately see all the details to make an informed buying decision!


Antique and Vintage Holiday Decorations are in "As-Found" Condition
When you click on "Buy From Us – Accessories" tab, you'll see that we also offer vintage and antique accessories for Christmas, Easter and Halloween. These fabulous collectibles are presented to you in their as-found condition. Like Dresden Star Ornaments, you will see imperfections in patina and quality of materials, which we believe adds charm and character. If we replaced missing parts, we provide these details in the description by the item. Remember when you buy collectibles 70 to 100 years old, imperfections, patina, and signs of wear all come "with the territory". We provide great thumbnail and full-size photos of each item to aid you in your buying decision, so PLEASE look carefully at all the pictures before you buy!

How to Order – Use our On-line Catalog
Our catalog is our website; we make one-of-a-kind, handmade ornaments and also offer a variety of holiday accessories that are always changing as we list new items. That means that ordering on-line is the best way to buy our products. You can imagine the confusion (and frustration) that could result if we mailed you a catalog of ornaments and products that were no longer available by the time the catalog reached you!

Simply click on the BUY FROM US sections of our web site, and you will reach our on-line catalog. You will be able to browse through categories, and view thumbnails, descriptions, and big pictures of all available items for sale. If you are uncomfortable ordering on-line for any reason, call us at (707) 215-9510 and we will be happy to take your order over the phone. Have the item # and description of the item handy!

When you place your order with us online, you can be assured that we use the some of the best encryption technology available today through secure servers at Authorize.net. Your personal information cannot be read as it travels over the internet.

All payments in U.S. dollars can be made via Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. Checks or money orders mailed to us cannot be accepted because of the nature of our business; by the time the check reaches us, the ornament may already be sold.
