Notes from Margaret:
I've been collecting Radko ornaments for about 10 years, and in the past 2-3 years I have been collecting a lot of otherlines - Breen, Fraga, Slavic Treasures, Mia, just to name a few. I never thought I would decorate for Halloween. My children are grown, and we have almost no trick or treaters on the little cul du sac where I live. A couple of years ago I was looking at the cute Radko Halloween ornaments, and decided I had to do a tree.

My tree has about 300 ornaments on it, and includes almost every major line of glass ornaments. I also do a spring and summer tree. I decided since I love ornaments so much, I should be able to enjoy them all year round.

My collection is approaching 4000 ornaments, and I long ago ran out of storage space. I've taught my grandchildren to love and respect ornaments, and they each have quite a collection now too.
