    4” tall; Hangs from gathered string attached to mesh bag

    SPECIAL FEATURES

    Candy containers like this one were very popular on Victorian-era trees and goodies were tucked into them on Christmas eve while the children slept. This antique molded paper candy container, with its original mesh top was fun to embellish.  I added vintage blue chenille, 1/16” wide pale yellow antique gathered ribbon, and antique paper cherub angel with golden wings.

    Lovingly handcrafted and signed by Gail Giaimo

    THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT IS MADE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE MATERIALS to include: glass ornaments from the 1890s to1950s, most of which were made in Germany; colorful Victorian embossed & die-cut paper “scraps” and chromolithographs from postcards and advertising trade cards, made in Europe between the 1870s and 1910; antique and vintage fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; antique and vintage tinsel from tree garlands and old-stock German-made Lametta tinsel; gold and silver old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, foil, gift wrap, spun glass, and other embellishments. Items described as “antique” are dated between 1870 and the early 1900s (prior to WWI). Items described as “vintage” are dated between 1915 (WWI) and the 1950s (mid-century). We also use Dresden trims (only on occasion) and crinkle wire (always used for durability) made more recently in Germany using techniques and equipment that have not changed over the past 150 years.
