A gift



Christopher Radko began making Christmas tree ornaments in an Old World tradition shortly after I started collecting them. They are expensive, but I don’t mind the price tag so much considering the detail and quality of each design.
The newer Radko ornaments are more elaborate than this simpler, naturally-colored representation of a penguin. Those eyelashes are something else, however, and the ornament has another striking feature: the entire body is sprinkled with a fine green glitter that catches the light in a very special way.
It was a gift from a friend who should be celebrating today. Happy Birthday, Anne.
