New cane vase

Here's a vase we blew yesterday afternoon from cane we pulled yesterday. It's 17 1/2" tall and about 8 1/2" wide. It's wonderfully thin and the canes on the very outside that run up and down, are raised up from the surface of the vase, all the way up and down the vase. (which is what we tried to do) In the past, it has been hard for us to do that, because when the vase is heated in the glory hole, the canes have a tendency to flatten and be smooth across the surface of the glass. This is the first time that we didn't have them fused "flat" . Plus, we pretty much kept them straight up and down. They have a tendency to want to twist a little bit. We're excited that we were able to do it!

MonochroMAGIC Christmas.

Naturals, neutrals, silver and gold, black and white with a touch of bling, this is what makes a MonochroMAGIC Christmas.  Enjoy, Heidi

New Redento in Morning Light!

This Redento Raffinato is 33 3/4" tall and about 11" wide. It's tremendous! Here it is in it's new home in Lawton as the morning sun strikes it. Notice the aurora borealis-like effect with the colors being cast on the white background. Wow!

An Anthropologie Christmas.

I was treated by my BFF the other day to my very first Anthropologie experience, it was everything I expected and more.  I felt proud to see some of the same items for sale in the shop that I sell in my little ole store (the calenders you see on the right).  We window shopped till we dropped, ate till we almost popped, ooooed and aaahhhed at all of the multi-million dollar houses with their bajillion Christmas lights decorating their trees, houses and fences.  I guess you can't tell that we had a great time.  She wanted to treat me for my Birthday early since it falls on the 22 and so many years it just feels like I don't even have one.  She really made me feel special, that is her gift.  I am so grateful for my wonderful friends and for having and Anthropologie in Houston.
Enjoy, Heidi.
