I first discovered Christopher Radko during his very first trade show in Atlanta during the late 1980’s. He had a tiny temporary booth with several dozen samples of his work hanging from a crude wooden frame. After a second walk through of the huge convention show room I was going to go back and place an order. Radko was swamped. The rest is history. His ornaments are now seen in the White House and collected by such celebrities as Elton John, Ricky Martin, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Redford, Kim Basinger, John Travolta, Robert DeNiro, Dolly Parton, Elizabeth Taylor, Whoopi Goldberg, and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver - and moi.
Christopher Radko’s only competition is a line created by the super wholesaler Kurt Adler called Polonaise. I have a number of these, including my favorite, their exquisite Ancient Egyptian collection. Like Radko, the Polonaise ornaments only increase in value.
Next we will discuss just how to place those ornaments and how to keep the cats out of my mother’s tree.
