Stories of Tradition, Told by Our Retail Partners

A Spotlight on the Retailers Who Share Our Love for Tradition

For generations, Old World Christmas has been proud to partner with independent retailers who share our passion for craftsmanship, tradition, and meaningful holiday moments. Each month, we feature one special store, highlighting their story, their community, and the ornaments they love most. These retailers are more than partners, they are storytellers, tradition-keepers, and the heart of Christmas in towns across the country.

Fireworks Gallery

Our Story

Michele Manasse turned a long-held dream into reality in 1983 when she purchased a small Seattle gallery with just $7,000 in savings. While balancing her role as an urban planner, she began shaping Fireworks into a space filled with “practical objects with a playful edge,” with a special focus on showcasing talented artists from the Pacific Northwest.

As the gallery grew, Michele took the leap to run it full time, reinvesting in the business and expanding to multiple locations throughout the Seattle area and beyond. What started as a single shop has become a beloved destination for thoughtful, artful gifts, earning a loyal following along the way.

Today, Fireworks continues to reflect Michele’s original vision, celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and discovery. Among its carefully curated assortment, Old World Christmas ornaments have become a treasured part of the mix, bringing timeless charm and a sense of tradition to customers year after year.
