Shopping for Old Fashioned Christmas Ornaments?

I am 52. When I was very young my mother and I had the most beautiful glass ornaments with a filigree design along the outside of the ornament. Over the years they have disappeared. Every year as we decorate our tree I think of these ornaments. They were very special to me.

Does anyone know where I can find true vintage glass filigree ornaments ?
Thank you.

Hello Mary - I'm round about your age and I think I know what you are talking about? One place you might begin searching is www.etsy.com in their "vintage" section. I've not seen exactly what you are talking about (and some of the things individual shops list as "vintage" are what I would classify as only a decade or so old) but there are a lot of vendors with very interesting and truly vintage &/or antique items on the etsy.com site.

(Note - I have no known affiliations with any of the vendors - I just enjoy the site.) As well, each shop vendor gives contact information so that you could contact them with specific questions or requests.

Do you remember any brand names or where your Mother (her parents, other relatives) might have obtained the ornaments? Any information you can include in requests will help the vendors help you, so be specific with your requests. Pictures might help, too, (with the diligent and honest vendors - and of course, use your best instincts in sharing detailed info) if you have such. Good Luck! :)

Etsy.com is a great idea but don't over look eBay. By putting in "vintage filigree Christmas ornaments" I found six. You can also look on your local Craigslist and keep an eye out for the thrift shops. I hope that helps. I am 57 and love them, too.

If you are interested in vintage Christmas ornaments, I have a boxful that are approximately 70 years old. They are very delicate and worn.

Go to local Goowill Stores and second hand stores. Have seen lots of them there. And at yardsales.
