Crystal Ornaments From Bombkarnia

I came across Bombkarnia which has some remarkable crystal ornaments. Many appear to be hand decorated and have several unusual shapes like tunics, shoes, eggs, hearts, butterflies, postcards and bombs (aka round-type-we-all-know). I think it is the exquisite color and detailed work with sequins and beads that caught my eye.

I think they took the company name from the original Polish word for round glass ornaments -  "bombka" meaning "little bomb".  It is clear that they have progressed well beyond glass balls and have created specialty ornaments for motorcycles, pets, and even shoes!

The Original Collection has the most detailed and elaborate versions.  The beading and color combinations are reminiscent of old Europe and immediately reminded me of Faberge eggs.  Detailed for individuality, they are truly one of a kind!

Though they can range upwards of $100usd, Bombkarnia crystal ornaments start at around $5.00.  Yes, that is far above a Wal-Mart bakers dozen made in China, but thes are destined to become heirlooms.  You should order early as many of these are in limited supply and could easily sell out.

So take a look at Bombkarnia and start thinking about how a unique gift will be remembered by your loved one this Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever holiday is your own!

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

 World Of W(ad)e: I Bought A Christmas Ornament This Morning…

I was standing in line at Starbucks picking up coffee for a coworker when I noticed that they had this year’s Christmas ornaments out. Naturally, I had to get one because I buy one almost every year.
