| In Keeping with Tradition here at Old and Everlasting it was time to begin the task of decorating our Christmas trees. In came the trees,lights,and an ample dose of energy to achieve this mission. There is always much excitement that goes along with this job as we imagine the Sparkling masterpiece when it is completed. |
 |
| It truly is a labor of Love to place each glass ornament in it's proper place on the trees and assorted containers for our Old and Everlasting customers. This year I happened to wonder how many years we have been enjoying these very special Inge -Glas ornaments from Germany. And how many years have we tackled this job with the anticipation of the ooh's and ah's from our customers as they discovered the trees dressed in these enchanting glass ornaments. |

| So off I went to check my records. I was surprised at how many years have gone by... I do remember that Christmas season in 1994 that we first introduced the Inge- Glas Christmas ornaments (known as Old World back then). But there is more to the story.... And more to come about the history of Inge Glas also....it's time for the story of Friendship.... There have been so many wonderful friends that have helped at the store over these 22 years... each and every season. This story is about Shirley. Our very special friend who has for each of the 17 years decorated our Inge Glas Christmas Trees. Each year with such loyalty and a genuine joy in her heart. Bless her dear heart for always wanting to do that for us.The Old and Everlasting trees decorated by Shirley are always quite amazing. If the Inge- Glas ornaments could talk they would thank her for finding the most perfect spot to showcase their beauty. We thank you for your friendship and your dedication Shirl...  And we Love You for your very big Heart...even if you are a bit camera shy....(-: |

| And now about the History... Yesterdays craftsmanship,today's treasures, and tomorrow's heirlooms.... " Inge- Glas is a family operated business dating back to the 1500's in Germany that has been handcrafting glass ornaments with skills that have been passed down for generations. All ornaments are capped with the 5-Point Star Crown that is recognized worldwide as the symbol of authentic Inge-Glas craftsmanship as well as German tradition and quality." |
 |
| Old and Everlasting is an authorized Retailer of these glass blown hand painted ornaments from Germany. These quality ornaments made from Antique moulds are fun to collect and pass down from generation to generation. |
 |
| Enjoy the spirit of Christmas and Friendship at Old and Everlasting... We look forward to seeing you this upcoming holiday season.... |
