Even the most delicate figures can carry great strength.
International Women’s Day
Today I am thinking of the women behind — and within — these ornaments.
The glass may look fragile, the figures graceful and fine, but they stand for something far stronger.
For generations it has often been women who painted the ornaments, who added the glitter, who gave the glass its character and soul. Quiet work at small tables, steady hands, patience, precision — turning something as fragile as blown glass into a little object of joy.
And then there are the women on the ornaments themselves: dancers, angels, ladies in gowns, poised and elegant. They may look delicate, but look closer — they carry centuries of stories, craftsmanship and resilience.
Fragile? Perhaps.
Strong? Without a doubt.
To all the women who create, inspire and keep beauty alive in the smallest details of the world.
✨ Happy International Women’s Day ✨
