I was lucky to pick up some <br />lovely old USED and most importantly<br />PRE LOVED balls and wood ornaments <br />before the big christmas rush. I Love<br />them! (Check them out on my blog) <br />They are getting harder to find, being <br />fragile and all. I will not be parting<br />with them in a hurry! <br />Have a great weekend.<br />Sue H @ Astrachic Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620080212018977824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8513630071917228786.post-85176180124727933182010-12-03T19:08:57.968+00:002010-12-03T19:08:57.968+00:00I know what you mean.

Vintage Christmas ornaments are very affordable if you buy off-season (unless you are into the real antique stuff, that's different).<br /><br />Someone else had a post for a repro mid-century lighting store and I said the same thing.
