Christopher Radko's line of exquisite holiday ornaments began in 1983 when his family's Christmas tree toppled over, destroying their collection of hand-made, mouth-blown ornaments. Christopher felt responsible, since he had recommended that the old Christmas tree stand be replaced with a more modern device. Christopher declared it his personal quest to restore the heirloom collection - and the link to precious Christmas memories. And that's just what he's done. His unparalleled succes has led to: The marketing of Radko ornaments in over 3,000 locations; The opening of 2 Signature Stores devoted exclusively to his products; The designation of over 100 premier Galaxy, Starlight and Rising Star Stores dedicated to carrying his ornaments for every season and holiday of the year; Placement in prestigious accounts such as Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's, Jacobson's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy's, Marshall Field's and Harrods of London; Featured spreads in such high-profile publications as People, Biography, and the New York Times. Memories Of Yesteryear highlights Radko's magical Christmas ornaments with over 20 original holiday poems. Reflecting Christopher's philosophy that "Christmas is no time for restraint," the book is decorated throughout with metallic foil and glittering detail.
