THE STORY BEHIND THIS ORNAMENT
In a magical woodland territory that humans never see, you’ll find talking creatures and plants that grant wishes. One winter there was a sudden thaw that woke a bumblebee hive from their winter slumber. Spring came early this year and the Queen knew her children would die without honey for their hive. As crocuses are some of Spring’s earliest blooming flowers, an envoy of two bees were sent by the queen to ask for a special favor. Would the fair crocus maiden allow her flowers to open early so they could be the first to gather nectar? She said “yes” and sent a warm wind to kiss the flowers open for all the bees to collect what they needed; the hive was saved! Hand-made and signed by Glenn Giaimo and Gail Giaimo.
MATERIALS UNIQUE TO THIS ORNAMENT
Beautiful dainty early vintage free-blown glass teapot with its original hand-painted details; rare 1890s chromolithographs meticulously hand-cut from a Victorian advertising card, reinforced and backed with rare antique silver foil paper and antique tinsel; antique Dresden paper trims; antique purple and blue silk chenille, antique silver loop hangerTHIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT is made almost exclusively with antique and early vintage materials, including old glass ornament(s) with beautiful patina; detailed German made embossed scrap(s) and chromolithographs (most of them predate the 1900s and are meticulously backed with early papers and/or old tinsel); a variety of old fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; old decorative tinsel (most of which is from old tree garlands); and old papers of all kinds, including lovely old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, old foil, gift wrap, and other embellishments. The exceptions to the exclusive use of old materials are as follows: 1) occasionally we use newer Dresden paper made in Germany that has been embossed and stamped with antique equipment; 2) Our high-quality gold and silver crinkle-wire is made in Germany with antique equipment.
