Welcome to Our Southwest Themed Glass Ornaments
Here we have an interesting group of ornaments that deal with designs from the Southwest region of the US.From the Spanish style Mission to the Hopi Dolls each of these ornaments offers a different perspective.
I have made many enjoyable visits to the southwest and the artistic community of Taos New Mexico with its old Indian Peublo and magnificent views. At night the stars fill the sky as there is so much less light polllution there. These ornaments remind me of those pleasant times and places.
