Holiday ornaments decorate life all year long in this Belgian shop

Christel Dauwe has been living in a holiday wonderland year-round with her Christmas ornament shop in Antwerp, Belgium. Her passion began in her teenage years, and now she boasts over 64,000 ornaments in her personal collection. Her shop displays another 18,000. The store started 35 years ago as an antiques shop. It evolved after a trip to Poland, where she and her husband found a factory to produce custom designs. Dauwe dreams of opening a Christmas museum. For now, her shop offers a wide range of ornaments, aiming to bring smiles and hope to visitors.
