Four months 'til Christmas! Perish the thought or embrace the lead time! Decorating for the season is a big part of the preparation. Perhaps these antique mercury glass colored beads will help decorate your tree, the bannister, a doorway, or the wreath that hangs upon the door. Each bead is actually a "double." Two globes, each the size of a large pea, are blown as one. (Actually, a whole, longer "rod" of such beads were formed together—a hot glass rod, blown into a metal mould—then cut into double-bead portions.) They will add a splash of old-fashioned color to your home—during the bleak of winter—just in time for the holidays. Click on the photo above to learn more about them.
