The Bronner’s bonanza


For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be displaying the haul of penguin ornaments that I bought at Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland on my trip home from Chicago in September. You can read more about Bronner’s here and see a few pictures. You really have to visit yourself for the full experience. It’s the world’s largest Christmas store, with wall-to-wall decorations in five football fields of space. These two sets of glass ball ornaments are a good way to start. I only photographed one of the four clear balls, but you can see most of the painted scene on the blue ones. The clear set has four identical balls and the blue set has two frosty and two shiny ornaments.
