We carry
Steinbach and Erzebirge
German nutcrackers, smokers, and pyramids.
2006 will
bring a bigger selection of nutcrackers than we’ve been able to
find for the past few years. There will be kings and guards and
Santas and chimney sweeps, but a better selection of special
interests this year. We
also found a collection of nutcrackers with metal plates that
will actually crack nuts, if you’re so inclined. Our smokers
depict many professions and interests.
We have incense cones in pine and cinnamon.

Pyramids are
the masterpieces of the Erzebirge
craftsmen. The German Erzebirge (Ore Mountains) was once
rich in silver and tin, and mining was the primary occupation.
As the mines were depleted, villagers turned to woodworking.
The miner and guardian angel figures, often used on
pyramids, tell of the activities of the famous silver mining
region. Other popular
styles include nativity scenes, angels, forest workers, St.
Nicholas, and folk scenes.
We sell pyramid candles in several sizes.
