General Winter Holiday Thread!

Couldn’t find an exact replacement for our green finial 70s European topper. Mouth blown, hand-painted & -glittered, with 3 indents/reflectors on each ball. Mom paid like $3.50 for it at Kmart. When I see ones like it, they’re $50+. Ours is now retired - the base has been scotch taped multiple times and is V fragile. I hope to find another way to display it!

I looked and looked, and couldn’t even find a green one that made me happy.

We settled on this one:


It’s a Thomas Pacconi (late of a home shopping network) topper who cost around $30 on ebay. It’s the only reasonably priced one (comparatively typing) who made me anywhere near as happy as our old one.
