One Gross - 144 - Amanita Mushroom Picks

Smaller Mushroom Picks Assortment

More Ornaments

Amanita mushrooms have long been associated with fairies and elves and even Christmas. After all, Santa has hired elves for Christmas work forever!

These pretty mushrooms might really be toadstools, not to be eaten in the wild - and, our plastic version should not be eaten either! It is rumored that Santa's reindeer pranced around in a flying frenzy after eating these little beauties (the real ones, that is), allowing them to help Santa travel throughout the world and deliver presents.

The little red mushroom caps dotted with white give a magical feel to any project.

This set of one gross (144) mushrooms picks with greenery.

The entire pick (with white stem) measures 1-3/4 inch. The mushroom and the greenery are a bit larger in these than in our Amanita Mushroom Pick Assortment.

This reproduction of an antique scrap is new, but in the tradition of Victorian scraps and die cut ornaments of old. Our Santa Claus, or Belsnickel, is dressed in a traditional blue coat with fur trim and is carrying a pretty tree and lots of toys to the next house he plans to visit.

Created as a gift tag, it is still perfect as an old-fashioned ornament or as an addition to your holiday artwork. Use a bit of mica or glass glitter and you might even fool someone into thinking this is an old one. The sweet die cut is made of lightweight cardboard rather than paper, so you might even add an easel backing for stand-up display.

Santa measures 6-3/8 by 3-1/4 inches and is lightly embossed.

We are absolutely delighted to present yet another terrific Barbara Schriber Designs note card. It seems only natural that we'd offer such delightful images that are hand glittered with German glass glitter!

Who doesn't love little piggies on Christmas (well, we guess there might be someone)! So, here's a sweet little card with a little jester (we're not quite sure if our jester is a little boy or little girl). Her pet piggies are pulling her on a sled past a snow-laden pine tree. The card reads, simply:

Merry Xmas

The glitter accents are in just the perfect spots to highlight the image! Best of all, once the glitter is exposed to air, it may tarnish, which adds to the vintage feel! Of course, each card is accompanied by a matching envelope.

Because this card is accented with glass glitter, please use care when handling the cards, and of course, such products adorned with glass glitter are not suitable for children.

These are simple to decorate with paint and glitter, flocking, fur or foil. We especially like to use red candy-maker's foil because it is so fine that it makes the boot look quite realistic (for shiny red snow boots anyway)!

Boot containers such as these became quite popular in the 1920s and 1930s, decorated with Victorian scraps and Dresden trimmings. Add a hanging loop at the back of the boot and display it on your Christmas Tree!

The image of Maria and Child is an embossed and die cut chromolithograph scrap. This double-sided ornament is accented with tiny golden Dresden embossed and die-cut stars on a spun glass circle base.

With the spiral, the piece measures 9-1/2 inches high and will top any tree with grace.

Such a tree topper have adorned your Great Grandma's Christmas tree. The glass fibers reflect lights in a way you'll not be able to imagine unless you've seen it!

These reproduction antique scraps are new, but in the tradition of Victorian scraps. Each of the scrap pictures are pre-trimmed, making them ready to use on any project. They are lightly embossed, just like the vintage ones! Both Gretel and Hansel measure 6 inches high.

These light weight paper scraps can easily be attached to a card to make a delightful gift tag, or an old-fashioned ornament or as an addition to your holiday artwork. Use a bit of mica or glass glitter and you might even fool someone into thinking these are truly vintage.

Hansel and Gretel are often associated with the Christmas holiday because they are pictured eating gingerbread - also a Christmas tradition in the Germanic countries.

From a fairy tale drawn from the Brothers Grimm, Hansel and Gretel eventually lived happily ever after. Their terrible journey begins with their mother (or step-mother in another version) coaxing their father into abandoning the children in the forest, because there was no money to feed them. The children created a trail of pebbles so that they could find their way home, but eventually became lost. They were lured to a witch's gingerbread cabin by candy and other treats. The almost-blind old crone decided to bake and eat the children, but alas, Gretel tricked her and coaxed the witch into the oven. Gretel and Hansel took the mean old woman's jewels back to their home, where they found their father a widower and lived happily ever after.

Twelve Days of Christmas Charm Set

12 Days of Christmas Charms

More Charms

More Christmas

The traditional Christmas Carol is said to have religious meaning, each line indicating something about the Christian religion and its traditions. For example, the two turtle doves are said to represent the Old and New Testaments; the doves being symbols of peace and the peacefulness of the Bible's word. This interpretation has been all but forgotten, and the song has come to represent the spirit of generosity at yuletide.

Each silvery charm in this clever set represents one day's gift. Remember, in the end the lucky recipient would actually have more than 12 of many of the items, and we're not quite sure what one would want with 12 partridges in 12 pear trees, but lots of sets of 5 golden rings might be exciting!

The final verse:

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me:
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle-doves
And a partridge in a pear tree!

What fun to make a bookmark or charm bracelet - or even a little garland for a miniature or doll-house tree!

Measuring a slight 1 inch, our little plastic Santa Claus charm might be mistaken for an Elf. All dressed in red with a snowy white beard, he's waving either hello or good-bye, or, perhaps he might be signaling the other elves to begin their work!

Rather than a traditional loop for hanging, his little cap hooks over into a loop, making him even more special. He can even stand on his own because of the precise molding and trimming.

These little guys are created by a small family-run company in Germany. Skilled artisans, using old-world techniques and plenty of time, have been creating these miniatures for more than 70 years. The exquisite quality of these miniatures comes directly from the workmanship of the molds and tools used to create them.

We had elves like these hanging on our Christmas trees back in the 1950s. Were we ever happy to find these reproductions to offer to you! Each little elf is made of a real pine cone that has been dusted with glitter and faux snow to look more wintery. He's holding a tiny bottle brush tree in one hand and ringing his festive bell with the other.

His face is made of real paper pulp, his arms and legs are vintage-style chenille and the fuzzy beard is made of spun cotton. He's about 5 inches high and 3 inches wide - if you position his arms differently you'll be able to add or subtract a bit of width.

Each is all glittery and can either stand on his little circle of snow, or hang from the attached golden thread.

Although these are mass-produced items, they are each made by hand - and are even hand painted! We fell in love with this little fellow and thought you might, too.

Trimming a holiday tree became prominent during the Victorian times, and spun glass angel's hair or fairy's hair like this was on of the favorites then as it is now! It adds a touch of elegant whimsy to any display - especially when there are electric lights. The soft glow of the cloud-like hair enhances any lights - either white or color.

Still handmade in the traditional manner by a family company, each bag contains 15 grams of non-inflammable super-fine spun glass fibers. Although such spun glass hair is available from other sources, the German spun glass angel hair is truly curly hair. It does not compress easily and will stay curly. Use it as you would tinsel for special effects.

*****Please be careful when decorating or crafting with Spun Glass products. Remember, they are made of glass and might cause some irritation. Please cover your work surface with paper or plastic to catch any stray fibers and consider wearing gloves rather than your bare hands when using the Angel's Hair.

We are providing 2 pairs of hypo-allergenic puncture-resistant, unpowdered Nitrile gloves, size Medium, to help protect your hands.

These old German scraps were produced by Littauer & Boysen (L&B), who stopped making scraps in 1920. We're not sure of their exact printing date, but we do know they are almost 100 years old - at least!

This set of 18 Santa faces features several different images. Some appear to be the same, but at closer inspection, you'll see slight variation. Each head is a bit different, but the average size appears to be about 5/8 inch wide by 1-3/16 high.

You'll find the quality of the images to be superlative. The paper weight is a bit thicker than the reproduction scraps made today. The die-cutting is so finely executed that you can almost tear these apart, but we suggest that you trim them with delicate scissors (such as scherenschnitte scissors). The detailed embossing is amazing as well.

Bleigießen - A German Fortune Telling Tradition

More Metaphysical

More New Year Celebrations

We just love the different traditions throughout the world. New Year's Bleigießen is the Austrian and German custom of pouring molten lead into water and reading the results as though they were tea leaves - so that you can foretell your next year. When the hot lead touches the water, curious shapes are formed.

Reading the shapes a big chunk of the fun - it's almost like reading the clouds in the sky! For example, if you find a ship or boat, perhaps you are destined for a long journey, probably by sea.

Each set includes:

* 5 hollow lead figures
* 2 golden bonus pieces
* 1 melting spoon
* directions in German (we'll include the directions in English)
* meaning chart in German (we'll include our own list in English)

Just place one of the lead pieces on the spoon. Hold the spoon over a candle. Once  melted, pour the lead into cold water. Now the fun begins! Determine what the melted lead resembles and interpret the fortune with the chart. It is also the custom to hold the lead figure a candle and interpret the shape of the shadow it casts. After all, what happens in the new year and your knowledge of it are important matters!

The pieces to melt contain 87% lead, and are not suited for the use by children of 14 or younger. Adult supervision is a must. Please use in a well ventilated area - like outside. Lead is toxic if ingested.

Giant Hand-Crafted Die-Cut & Embossed Advent Calendar Wreath

More Advent Calendars and Other Christmas

IN Germany and other European countries, Advent, the four weeks before Christmas has been observed for many years. The word advent means coming and is a time to contemplate the coming of Christ.

The Advent calendar is still another German custom, one that has been carried over to North America. Some calendars are large Christmas pictures with twenty-four small paper windows cut into them. Every day, children (of all ages) in the family open a window to find a little picture of an angel, a toy, a candle, etc. and when the last window is opened, it shows the nativity symbolizing the birth of Christ.

Today there are also many non-religious calendars available and combinations of the two, often featuring both Jesus and Santa.

This wonderfully large die-cut wreath is a very special Advent Calendar. It resembles the large die-cuts available in the Germany years ago. The expert cutting and superb embossing make this ever the more special. And, right in the center is a large red fabric bow (this may need a little fluffing on arrival).

It is made of sturdy hard paper and measures about 15 inches wide and about 16-1/2 inches high. It will make a lovely wall or indoor-door decoration for the holidays.

Young and old alike will marvel at the simple pleasure of opening each window, anticipation building as nearer the date you arrive! This calendar has been hand-glittered in the traditional manner.

Advent Calendars are re-usable, so start a new family tradition this year!

Such an elegant card was created for the holidays, but might be used for any occasion. The inside presents "a short holiday message as told by Jane Stone":

"Some Kind of Mission"

Last Saturday evening, Rabbi Yashita Makito beckoned to a group of carolers from the tiny balcony where she was standing, above  the courtyard of her handbuilt brick synagogue in Ardglass, North Ireland.

Rabbi Makito is well known throughout Ardglass, for her gentle spirit is like fresh snowflakes falling on bamboo shoot.

The caroling villagers saw her and came at once into the courtyard - quietly gathering closer to await her holiday greeting.

"Greeting" she said to them, leaning down over the veranda rail (she always spoke just barely above the whisper of young rabbit breath.) "Now remember, if Christmas gets too messy, eat it over the sink."

Rabbi Makito (and her keen sensibility) nourishes my vision of peace on earth.

We love crepe paper - and not just for streamers. Make bows and flowers, cover nut cups, make ornaments. The possibilities are endless.

And, on top of that, this is VINTAGE crepe. This is just what you need for making reproduction Christmas ornaments. Using the real vintage stuff makes them look and feel authentic. This crepe roll was produced by the Dennison company, well known for their home arts papers and other supplies for decades. Dennison has since merged with Avery office products to become Avery Dennison. So new quality Dennison craft and art products are no longer available.

The Dennison Flameproof Steamer sticker remains on each roll, but is a little loose on some of the rolls we have in stock. There is some modest wear and a touch of fading (from storage) on the outside of the roll, but that makes it even more appropriate for your vintage projects!

These 35-foot rolls originally sold for 15¢. That and the label suggest that the rolls are from the mid-20th century.

Made in US Zone - Germany

After World War II, Germany was divided into Four Zones. The Soviet Zone later became East Germany. And the three other zones (US, British and French) combined to become West Germany. Immediately after the war, however, the zones were managed, or occupied by the different nations. During this time, German manufacturers were banned from exporting goods to the United States and some other countries.

American authorities permitted the sale of toys and holiday decorations, as long as they were marked:

Made in US Zone - Germany

The controlled districts and the manufacturers within were regulated during 1946 and 1947. Even though the regulation was lifted in 1947, the same tooling for the manufacture was used, so some items produced in the early 1950s may bear the same markings.

US Zone items are not as well known as those made in Occupied Japan, but they are of the same ilk and are highly treasured when found.

Vintage Aluminum Star Ornament

More Ornaments

These wonderful aluminum star ornaments hail from World War II. They were actually sent to the soldiers in the trenches! These are original store stock and are quite modern looking despite being over 60 years old!

The star is made of aluminum with a glass center - the glass centers are on both sides of the star. We like the convex side, but the opposite side seams to reflect light better.

Each star measures about 6 cm in diameter and has a tiny hanging loop at the top. These are original, unused old store stock, so they are in wonderful condition.

We will try our best to honor your requests for center glass color, but we cannot promise that we'll have your choice. So please let us choose one for you. The close-up shows several of the variations.

Chenille pipe cleaners have been used for crafting for ages! We were lucky to find these vintage Santa Claus Package Tie-Ons - Each with a little cap and coat made of velvety paper and accented with chenille pipe cleaners - even for his beard! The little lack belt is made of shiny paper as well.

Use him to decorate your old fashioned holiday tree, or add him to a friend's holiday package. From tip of cap to bottom of coat, he measures about 2-1/2 inches The tie-one chenille stem adds additional length, and, because it originates under his coat, it can be twisted so he can stand up on your tree or package.

These are vintage items and have been used, so they show some fading and wear, but how much more special that makes them!

Authentic Vintage Authentic German Spun Glass Wing in 2 Sizes

We at SilverCrow were lucky to find a source in German for real, vintage spun glass components so that you can create Victorian style ornaments for Christmas, Valentine's Day, or just because you want to make them!

These pieces were made by hand in a factory in Lauscha, Germany well before World War II. They are certainly elegantly crafted by highly-skilled artisans who were undoubtedly proud to work.

Spun Glass is a form of fiberglass, so it can be irritating and is not recommended for children. And, even though these are in excellent shape, because of the age of the pieces, we suggest you be quite careful when using them for crafting.

These wheels are traditionally used as wings for angels, birds, butterflies and moths. But they may also substitute for the Spun Glass Skirt or Tail.

Two sizes are available:

LARGE Wing - about 1-7/8 inch wide

SMALL Wing - about 1-1/4 inch wide

More Christmas & Winter

We had elves like these hanging on our Christmas trees back in the 1950s. Were we ever happy to find these reproductions to offer to you! Each little elf is made of a real pine cone that has been dusted with glitter and faux snow to look more wintery. He's holding a tiny bottle brush tree in one hand and ringing his festive bell with the other.

His face is made of real paper pulp, his arms and legs are vintage-style chenille and the fuzzy beard is made of spun cotton. He's about 5 inches high and 3 inches wide - if you position his arms differently you'll be able to add or subtract a bit of width.

Each is all glittery and can either stand on his little circle of snow, or hang from the attached golden thread.

Although these are mass-produced items, they are each made by hand - and are even hand painted! We fell in love with this little fellow and thought you might, too.

The twelve Terrors of Christmas by John Updike & Edward Gorey

Edward Gorey’s off-kilter depictions of Yuletide mayhem and John Updike’s wryly jaundiced text examine a dozen Christmas traditions with a decidedly wheezy ho-ho-ho.

1. Santa: The Man
Loose-fitting nylon beard, fake optical twinkle, cheap red suit, funny rummy smell when you sit on his lap. If he’s such a big shot, why is he drawing unemployment for eleven months of the year? Something scary and off-key about him, like one of those Stephen King clowns . . .

This long out-of-print classic is the perfect stocking-stuffer for any bah humbug. It is 32 pages, smyth-sewn casebound (hardcover) book, with jacket. Size: 4-1/4 by 5-3/4 inches- the perfect stocking-stuffer size for any scrooge (or Gorey fan!)

Santa Fe Adobe Advent Calendar

Santa Fe Adobe Advent Calendar

The first Spanish settlers came to northern New Mexico at the turn of the seventeenth century. Their intention was to establish a society that would blend the best of Spain with the best of the preexisting indigenous culture. The melding of the Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultures produced what has come to be known as Santa Fe Style.

Jaye Oliver has applied this unique sensibility to the creation of a delightful Advent calendar. Each of its twenty-four windows open to reveal a Southwestern Christmastime treat. With 24 tiny windows, this free-standing 3-D Advent calendar is a wonderful way to count down the days to Christmas.

Introduce this charming tradition to your family with this folk art Advent calendar made of paper stock. It pops up and is designed to last for years.

Because of the coloring and style, you might also consider this for a student project about the southwest and Mexico.

Authentic Vintage Authentic German Spun Glass Wheel in 3 Sizes

We at SilverCrow were lucky to find a source in German for real, vintage spun glass components so that you can create Victorian style ornaments for Christmas, Valentine's Day, or just because you want to make them!

These pieces were made by hand in a factory in Lauscha, Germany well before World War II. They are certainly elegantly crafted by highly-skilled artisans who were undoubtedly proud to work.

Spun Glass is a form of fiberglass, so it can be irritating and is not recommended for children. And, even though these are in excellent shape, because of the age of the pieces, we suggest you be quite careful when using them for crafting.

These wheels are traditionally used as backgrounds to ornaments (see our Vintage Santa  Ornaments). We love them, because you can use them for any occasion - use a Butterfly Scrap in the center for a spring ornament! These also make fantastic halos for saints and angels.

Three sizes are available:

EXTRA LARGE Wheel - about 3-1/2 inches in diameter

Package of 5 Dresdens - Seasons Greetings

Close-Up with Measurement

 

Golden Dresden Seasons Greetings

Season Greetings is one of most versatile of ways to wish well to your friends, family, colleagues, etc. Because it doesn't specifically mention a holiday or occasion, it can represent just about any time or occasion. Usually associated with winter celebrations, it is non-sectarian and most popular for that reason.

As every life's season is deserving of celebration, why not use it to welcome spring, summer or anytime.

Our embossed die cuts are superbly cut from golden foiled paper and will make delightful embellishments for any project - special place settings, invitations, cards, thank yous, etc.

They are skillfully crafted in the Victorian tradition, but are brand new.

Reproduction Chromolithograph Die Cut Relief Scraps - St Nicholas

Full Sheet Close-Up

 

Embossed Die Cut Reproduction - Saint Nicholas

The feast of St Nick is December 6. Tradition has it that the night before, children would proudly put their polished shoes outside their bedroom doors and in the morning, lo and behold, surprises such as fresh fruit (so rare in winter), nuts and perhaps a toy would be near! From this we have today's tradition of hanging stockings and waiting for Santa!

This scrap sheet is ever so special as it has quite a few different-sized images of Saint Nicholas in full regalia including his bishop's hat, carrying his staff. Some of the smaller images are available in reverse, so that you can easily make double-sided ornaments. Include some stretched krausbouillion between the images and a golden or silvery string loop and you'll quickly make an heirloom quality ornament that won't be forgotten!

Add a bit of traditional glass glitter or mica glitter to highlight them and you'll certainly imagine them to be the originals rather than reproductions!

The scrap relief sheet is approximately 9 inches by 7 inches, ready for you to clip and use in your artwork. And each sheet is artfully embossed to accent the expert die cutting - so well done, that very little trimming is necessary.

VINTAGE Spun Glass Tail

Authentic Vintage Authentic German Spun Glass Tail in 2 Sizes

We at SilverCrow were lucky to find a source in German for real, vintage spun glass components so that you can create Victorian style ornaments for Christmas, Valentine's Day, or just because you want to make them!

These pieces were made by hand in a factory in Lauscha, Germany well before World War II. They are certainly elegantly crafted by highly-skilled artisans who were undoubtedly proud to work.

Spun Glass is a form of fiberglass, so it can be irritating and is not recommended for children. And, even though these are in excellent shape, because of the age of the pieces, we suggest you be quite careful when using them for crafting.

These tails are traditionally used when decorating glass ornaments to make birds - these becoming the tail feathers! They are also great as skirts for princesses, Belsnickels and witches.

Two sizes are available:

LARGE Tail - about 3-1/2 inches long

SMALL Tail - about 2-1/2 inches long

These seals are from Eureka, a classic holiday decoration company. We expect that these hail from the 1960s.
