Patriotic Kisses

"Youhave to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4,not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the WhiteHouse in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics wherekids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies diefrom happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it ispatriotism." ~Erma Bombeck

LEON day is the half-way mark in the year until Christmas!It has been six months since Christmas and it is six months untilChristmas. If nothing else, you (and the rest of us) have only 6 moremonths of shopping to do before the big day LOL!!

Glass Cupcake Truffles

2010-09-10T10:01:00.001-07:00

Finally . . . we are back to the blog!

We have been incredibly busy since 'Niche: The Show' in Las Vegas in early June. We were overwhelmed with orders and here is a good part of the reason why. We introduced our new little Cupcake Truffles.

We couldn't resist!!! What could possibly be more fun than a cupcake truffle. They are small, affordable, and designed to elicit a smile. They are a collector's dream . . . unique, colorful and very, very special!

Our miniature glass cupcake sculptures are somewhat larger, sized in the tradition of Victorian Hand Coolers. They are made to nestle refreshingly in your palm while tempting you with thoughts of tasteful indulgence.

All of our miniature and truffle glass cupcakes are solid glass. Each one is a unique piece of original glass sculpture that is signed, dated and the bottom is covered in felt. Each cupcake comes packaged in its own box.

Check out all of our cupcakes HERE!

Happy Independence Day!

They should be up on the website in the next few days. Meanwhile we posted this photo on our Facebook page and have already gotten several orders. Any more good ideas for the Holidays?????

Goat TV

2009-08-08T10:35:00.000-07:00

At least 4 or 5 times a week I walk from my house to a local park. That park is part of the Community Services District Wastewater Management Facility and it has a 1.5 miles long nature trail. Once we get to the park, we follow the trail around the treatment ponds where the dogs get to do one of their favorite things. We call it watching "Goat TV". The goats are the lawn mowing crew for the Services District.

Every year there is usually a flock of 30 or more Wild Canadian geese that stop by to enjoy the ponds and breed. At certain times of the year, there are lots of baby geese waddling and swimming.

Contemporary Glass Wind Chimes

2009-07-20T08:55:00.000-07:00

For some unknown reason we have recently been inundated with requests for our wind chimes from past buyers.

We began creating our tuned glass wind chimes in the '70s and sold countless numbers of them through galleries, gift shops, and various major national gift and garden catalogs. Over the years we have retired them from our production line only to bring them back into production when demand rises. Now appears to be the time for them to make a reappearance.

The chimes are carefully tuned to the pitches of a major chord. They were designed to be hung indoors near a window or anywhere there may be a breeze. They are also perfect for outdoors on the patio, deck, porch, or in the garden. One buyer reported to us that she has a set hanging in her garden and, due to the transparency of the glass, guests are stumped as to where the melodious sounds originate.

The wind chimes are currently available through Gregory's of Salado or online at Malmsey's.

Celebrating our Independence!

2009-06-29T10:23:00.000-07:00

Have a safe and enjoyable July 4th weekend.

Already a hit with galleries attending the February Buyer’s Market of American Craft in Philadelphia, our new Spring Garden Collection of glass Petit Fours adds yet another dimension to our confections collections.

These luscious treats are created using a combination of techniques that allow us to add an even more dimensional element to our work.

One of a Kind Gallery, Charleston, SC

2008-09-12T09:06:00.000-07:00

One Of A Kind Gallery was founded by Terri and Carlos Gould in 1999. The gallery is located in Charleston, South Carolina, which is the home of historic "Rainbow Row".

In 1931, Dorothy Legge purchased 99 and 101 East Bay, beginning the renovation of the area between Tradd and Elliot Streets. Originally these mid-1700 homes had been the center of commerce; merchants had stores on the first floor and lived on the floors above. Neglect over time left these valuable buildings in a state of disrepair. The purchase and restoration by Mrs. Legge inspired others, and today this beautiful array of homes is known as "Rainbow Row".

These old row houses are very popular in Charleston. They represent the very first style of Charleston homes and are portrayed in the story of Porgie and Bess.

Recently Carlos Gould completed some drawings depicting the historic buildings. He incorporated the drawings into a custom design for a special box for our clear glass chocolate drops. These beautiful boxes can be found only at One of A Kind Gallery, 74A North Market in Charleston, SC 29401. Visit their website at oneofakindgallery.com

Geese this morning . . .

2008-08-06T06:41:00.000-07:00

A beautiful, if somewhat overcast, morning walk today. The ocean, beach and wildflowers were much the same as every morning, but a noisy flock of wild geese surprised us by landing close enough so that we could snap a quick picture. The photo shows only a few of the geese near the edge of the Mad River, but we estimated that there were about 80 in the entire group.

It seems that most every morning walk has some kind of small surprise. One of the more memorable was when we came upon a large skunk enjoying grubs in an open area near some new homes overlooking the ocean. Unfortunately I didn't have the camera with me on that walk, but fortunately we weren't close enough to upset the creature!

Marsh Morning

2008-08-02T08:46:00.000-07:00

Continuing with the birthday news, I have decided to tell you about my morning's adventure. This was meant to be a morning to celebrate my walking partner’s 62^nd birthday. Rather than our usual beautiful walk along the trail that overlooks the ocean, we went to the Arcata marsh. One can only appreciate the marsh if they have been there, but their website and my photos may give you an idea of what it is like.

The plan was a leisurely walk around the marsh and then a stop for latte and quiche at the Café Brio on the Arcata plaza. Well, we did follow that plan, but there was a surprise along the way. My friend picked us up (I was with my trusty companion, Opie) this morning at 7 AM and we rode the brief (about 4 miles) trip to the marsh with no problems. When we pulled up into the deserted parking area we noticed white smoke/steam billowing from under the hood!!! Could this be a loosed/burst hose? It appeared that all the water was gone!!!

Fortunately one of us had a cell phone and a call to a friend resulted in the arrival of a van (suitable for the two of us along with our dogs) after our sedate stroll around the paths of the marsh. The five of us (counting the dogs) proceeded to the Café and our quiche and latte’s with my friend working the cell phone. My friend with the birthday had only the morning off from work, but she managed to contact a towing company and mechanic from our table outside the café. One of the benefits of living in a small community is that the tow truck driver agreed to pick her up at the café so that the other friend (who had brought her van) and I could return home. About an hour later, the birthday girl dropped by to return my cell phone and she reported that all was well. The car had been towed and was in the shop and she would be using her 93 year old mother’s car for the rest of the day.

Just one more small adventure successfully concluded.

Happy Birthdays!

2008-07-25T07:33:00.000-07:00

Dear Patty and Dinah,

A warm and heartfelt thank you for creating our custom box of chocolates. I picked the box up from Material Possessions today in Chicago and it has already found its home next to the bed in our guest bedroom. Your attention to detail is clearly apparent- the pieces are miniature works of perfection! They look so real and so delicious!

I have told everyone about the box and can't wait to have people over to take a look (but not a bite)!

Our most sincere thanks. Congratulations on creating such a fabulous product.

R. & G. S.

What a delightful 'Thank You' to receive from a couple who placed their custom order with our gallery (Material Possessions) in Chicago! We love to hear how our glass chocolates are displayed and enjoyed.
