About The Tinsel Box

Vintage ornaments. Timeless stories.

I’m Leslie—founder of The Tinsel Box, mom of three wild-hearted boys, and collector of all things nostalgic and sparkly. What started as a quiet obsession with vintage Christmas ornaments has grown into a curated shop for collectors, decorators, and sentimental souls who believe that every tree tells a story.

At The Tinsel Box, I specialize in sourcing authentic vintage Christmas ornaments—from delicate Polish indents to rare German and USSR figural glass ornaments. Each piece is hand-selected and wrapped with care— so you can decorate with confidence, meaning, and a little bit of magic.

A Bit About Me

I built The Tinsel Box during naptimes, late nights, and quiet hours—between diaper changes and school drop-offs. I’ve always believed that beautiful things deserve to be preserved, and that holiday traditions should be personal, not mass-produced.

This business is my love letter to vintage. It’s also proof that even in the chaos of motherhood and everyday life, there’s space for joy, beauty, and storytelling.
