Stained Glass Christmas

Every year, I add a few new designs to the Christmas Collection.  

I started with Classic Christmas Trees, Christmas Pickles, and Round Christmas Ornaments.  Over the years, I've added Holly, Mistletoe, & Angels.  

Classic Christmas Tree ornaments 

Some designs become part of the studio's history. The Old-fashioned Christmas Lights, created from vintage glass from my Grandpa Thomas's collection, were released as a limited edition and have been retired.

Christmas Pickles are back for another year

Now,  it's time to welcome the newest additions to the 2026 Christmas Collection.

Whimsical Christmas Trees

Available in Snowy White, Plum Purple, and Crisp Green, they're equally at home hanging in a sunny window, decorating your Christmas tree, or standing on a shelf with an LED candle glowing behind them. 

Iridescent Trees - New this year

They also make thoughtful host gifts and neighbor gifts. 

They are beautiful hanging in a sunny window, on your tree or on a shelf (try sitting an LED candle behind it!). Makes a thoughtful host gift or gifts for neighbor. 

Snowflake Charms

Iridescent glass makes another appearance in these miniature hexagon ornaments. Each one is laser engraved with a delicate snowflake before being finished in lead came and tied with ribbon.

Snowflake charms are wonderful tiny gifts

Fun fact: even our ribbons are made in the USA.

Measuring just over an inch, they're perfect for decorating a tree, hanging from a rearview mirror, or tucking into a gift. They make wonderful office gift exchange presents, Secret Santa surprises, and thoughtful little gifts for friends and grandparents.

Mystery Misfits

Mystery Misfits are back for Christmas! With seasonal colors, and holiday wrapping, these are fun stocking stuffers and Secret Santa Gifts.  Just remember, stained glass is not a toy!  

Christmas Mystery Misfits

Christmas is just getting started in the studio. Over the next few weeks, I'll be busy making stockings, pickles and more! If you want to see them before the rest of the world,  join the TCAG Insiders and get early peeks and special treats.

Until next time,

Best Practices for Storing stained glass:

• First, wrap your ornaments in clean white tissue paper. In fact, use a few layers.  You want to be certain your stained glass pieces are well protected.  Add a piece of tape to secure this layer.

• Add protective padding like honeycomb paper, packing paper, or bubble wrap.  Be generous here. The goal is to have a nice layer of padding.  For honeycomb and packing paper, you may need several layers.  More is better. Tape the ends of the wrapping together to prevent the stained glass from slipping out of the ends.   

• Add extra protection to the "voids" - those holds, gaps, and bits that float on your pieces

• Place pieces in sturdy boxes and label. If you ordered from TCAG, the box your keepsakes shipped in is perfect. Save it and the packing materials.  

• Store in a clean, dry, temperature-stable location like a closet or under-bed bin.

What to Avoid:

• Plastic wrap or plastic bags can leave marks on the came or trap moisture. 

• Don’t store in a basement, attic, or garage unless it's climate-controlled

• Don’t stack heavy objects on top
