This place is tiny and magical! It is full of beautiful ornaments year round. Great selection of German Christmas ornaments! One of my favorite stops every time I am in Santa Fe.

So many options for Christmas -- but we were pleasantly surprised to see a bunch of Easter decorations in anticipation of that holiday in a few weeks, including beautifully ornate pysanky eggs

Very helpful staff. They helped me find a couple of unusual ornaments for our nursing student granddaughter. Beautiful ornaments. Quite reasonable prices.
