Just finished putting Christmas up and wanted you to see it. You do amazing work.” – Jim, Richmond, VA “I hung your ornament wreath yesterday and I have to say it’s stunning. “The wreath arrived today and it’s absolutely gorgeous! Even more beautiful than in your pictures! “ – Kelly, Macungie PA I’m so happy with it – I love it.” – Scott, Austin, TX I can’t wait to put it out for Christmas. “It is even better than I had hoped, sincerely. Thank you for your beautiful work of art!” – Sam, Wyclyff, NJ I can’t keep myself from stopping and staring, feeling both joy and a beautiful nostalgia of my childhood the ornaments evoke. The word Joy in the description was perfectly chosen.

“This is the most delightful, wonderful, well done vintage topiary. “This is the most beautiful wreath I have ever seen, I cannot thank you enough! This is sure to raise a lot of money for Kips Bay! Thank you! !!!” – Kati Curtis, Kati Curtis Design, New York, NY I feel so very happy to have it and know that it will bring me great joy in the years to come.” – Susan, New York, NY I know that I will need to get up several times tonight just to go and look at it. It is actually even more stunning than in the picture on the website. “Well, the most beautiful wreath imaginable was waiting for me when I arrived home from work this evening. “TOTALLY GORGEOUS!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! Cackie, it is truly beautiful and exactly what I was looking for!! Great work from a wonderful artist!!” – Joy, Mechanicsburg, PA “Glittermoon has the most amazing vintage ornament wreaths! They’re on our holiday wish-list.” – Josh Kilmer-Purcell & Brent Ridge, The Fabulous Beekman Boys, Beekman To read more, please go to my About Mepage. Mariah Carey owns one of my wreaths – a pink one, naturally. In 2015, one of my wreaths was auctioned at a charity benefit for the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club in NYC. My wreaths have been displayed at Zezé Flowers and More & More Antiques, both in Manhattan, and at a handful of other fine shops on the East Coast. In 2021, I was once again featured in R-Home Magazine and also had an appearance on the Virginia this Morning program on WTVR-TV Richmond. I am a proud member of the Beekman 1802 artisan collective (, based in upstate NY) and an artisan at the Country Living (Magazine) Fairs. My work has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, R Home Magazine, the Beekman 1802 Almanac, Holiday Décor Magazine, and Flea Market Décor Magazine. My wreaths and topiaries have a national following and have been shipped all over the continental USA. Generally, it takes parts of 3 days to make a wreath from start to finish. The mental stimulation of design is something I love I let color, scale, and texture drive the composition. I usually begin each wreath (or centerpiece) with something very special as a focal point.

This is not only because of the materials themselves (as in what I have in my inventory) but I would be bored to tears if I had to reproduce previous designs. I find it especially meaningful when someone points to an ornament and says, “My grandmother (or mother or aunt) had one of these!”Įvery piece I make is unique there will never be another one like it.

These wonderful pieces have been gently loved, often by several generations in the same family. I search high and low for the most unusual, beautiful, and truly special decorations. It turned out so well I decided to start making them to sell as an adjunct to my other artwork.

One day, I saw a magazine article about how to make an ornament wreath so I made one for myself using mostly broken ornaments that I loved too much to throw away. But, as a child of the 1950s, I especially love the wonderful memories these pieces evoke. Having had a longtime love of old Christmas things, I admire the craftsmanship and creativity that went into making them. Based in Richmond, Virginia USA, Glittermoon Vintage Christmas’ unique designs are made from ornaments and decorations of yesteryear.
