Humble Beginnings



These glass ornaments

have a
Magic

the first ever being
made in Germany
in 1847
by
Hans Greiner
Who was unable
to afford
real nuts and fruit
the decoration of the day
from humble beginnings
often come great
Things!

Nicely presented little knick-knacks. I was not aware of this history. It's a nice little photo just by itself. BTW Hope the 'pox is making good progress.....I developed mine at the Festival of Britain;-)

Now that is interesting, plus it's a neat photo, in fact a bit sad in a way. Don't know why..
