Susan Rayburn I began collecting Radko ornaments about 7 years ago after I received "Littlest Snowman" as a gift from a friend. I initially bought the more traditional molded Santas, trees, snowmen, limited editions, licensed pieces--especially Disney, etc. Since then, my tastes have moved to Italians, balls, drops, and more vintage looking pieces. I love to decorate with ornaments for each holiday, in addition to Christmas when I host five trees--all Radko. My favorite holiday ornaments are 4th of July and next Halloween. The molded ornaments seem to work the best for these. This season I created a Halloween collage inside my collectibles display table. I started with a silky satin bright purple fabric that is covered with clear paillettes that create a sparkling shimmer. Then I covered it with a black lacey fabric creating a spiker web look. |
