As silver and tin mining declined, former miners had to look for new ways to feed their families. In addition to lace making and weaving, the towns people turned to wood carving. Nutcrackers, smokers, Christmas pyramids, and wooden candle arches are some of the many handmade Christmas goods. “The company RATAGS was founded 1987 (still in GDR times) in the idyllic village Stolpen near Dresden and has since developed magnificently. The company's headquarter, a beautiful traditional country estate with three buildings placed around a big inner courtyard, was in ruins in the early years. Thanks to the great courage, enthusiasm, and hard work of the owners, the company RATAGS has advanced from two-man company to the employer of 150 people in the rural Ore Mountain region.” I'm cleaning out my closets of gifts never given, items never used, clothes never worn, projects never done, etc. If interested, check out my other items.
