For many, when they think of stained glass, they usually think of windows. There are however hundreds of other uses and places where stained glass is not only found but used. If you have ever had to replace a window and have to cut the glass itself, you know that there is a bit of skill required just to make a straight line break, let alone curves and angles.

Creating stained glass goes back centuries and is a very old and honored craft. In the past, a stained glass artisan was very highly valued and their skills were honed over many years of practice and training. It still takes a long time to learn the craft before one could be considered a Master in the craft.

Carrie, the hands behind Designed With Glass certainly knows her craft. The picture above is just one example of the many different products that can be found in her store. From stained glass panels to stained glass planters and candle holders the shopper will have plenty of choices to select from.

There is a wealth of imagination at work in her creations and as she says in her store announcement, “If you or I can dream it, it can be created with glass!”. From what I can see in her store and from pictures of other items she has created, I sure can believe her statement.

You might think stained glass creations are expensive. You wouldn’t know it by the very reasonable prices of Carries’ creations. When I say “very reasonable”, I mean it. I know the amount of work that goes into stained glass creations. If anything, working with stained glass has to be one of the more labor intensive crafts simply because the more detailed the creation, the more the difficulty factor increases. Having a well made stained glass creation is something that will be cherished for many years and is something that you will not regret buying. Be sure and stop by their store and check out the fantastic products found there.

Shop For Functional Pottery With Class

If you are looking for handmade pottery online, you can find it all over the internet today in any number of online stores. What you are looking for will of course guide what and where you buy but with so many good artisans out there it can be really hard to make a decision some times.

I’m going to help you out this time by making a suggestion. Vist Glynt Pottery Why Glynt Pottery you ask? Simple. They have some really neat stuff. How do you like that for really detailed. Honestly though Graciela the hands on the clay person at Glynt Pottery gives one very good reason right in the store announcements. “All my work is wheel-thrown or hand-built and fired in an electric or gas kiln (depending on the piece). I mix my own glazes, which are lead-free and food safe.”

Now if your piece of pottery is just going to sit on a shelf and collect dust, having it “Food Safe” certainly isn’t important. If however you lean towards functional pottery, you sure want to make sure it is “Food Safe”. Since, at least from what I can see in the store, the majority of pieces for sale fall into the functional category so it’s nice to know as a buyer you don’t have any worries on this issue.

What type of items will the shopper find at Glynt Pottery? Without actually naming all the pieces listed, I think it is best to say you will find everything from cups & vases to bowls & even electric lamps. There is certainly a wide selection to choose from.

As the picture above of a Serving Dish/Casserole with hand painted flowers shows, there is plenty of artistic inspiration and imagination plus a whole lot of talent in the hands of this potter. Also the colors used in the paints used certainly only enhance those pieces that are decorated with paintings. Although I haven’t asked, I wouldn’t be surprised to find a great deal of painting talent also residing in those hands also.

Well made pieces of pottery are items that will endure for many decades if not centuries and are always worth what the shopper pays for them. What is really nice is when you can find such quality combined with great talent and buy it at such reasonable a price. That is what you will find at Glynt Pottery.

You would be hard pressed to find a better present this holiday season than one that will be so well appreciated as a piece of great pottery. Stop by and see what I’m talking about.

Great Home Decor Pillows

Home accents come in may types and styles but what they all have in common is that they have to work for your home and your décor style. I can’t tell you how many hours my wife and I would run around from store to store looking for just the right item to add that special touch to some room or another at home. That is we used to do this before the concept of ecommerce came along. I’m sure many readers can relate to these excursions with equal frustration. To top all the problems of finding the right item, trying to find something that wasn’t a piece of junk was also a problem. That is unless you were willing to spend a great deal of money.

One of the most frequently purchased home accents are pillows. For a reasonable price you can dress up almost any piece of suitable furniture by placing a few pillows on it. Besides simply looking good, what I like about a few pillows sitting on a sofa is that they come in so handy for Sunday afternoon naps.

I want to introduce to you today a neat online store called Floradorainc.

All though other items can be found at Floradorainc, pillows, of different styles being the primary items in Courtney’s, Floradorainc’s owners store. When I say different styles, I should also say different colors and fabric patterns as well as styles.

There is a nice selection of products to meet almost any shoppers needs. From fancy and elegant to the simple and almost country in look. A portion of their store announcement probably says it better that I ever could – “Unique fabric combinations, interesting trims, vintage buttons, and sweet surprises typify the design aesthetic of Floradorainc. All designs are one-of-a-kind creations!”. As one can see from the picture above, these pillows certainly don’t fall into the “Kmart Blue Light Special” category.

Another real nice feature found a Floradorainc is that you will not need real deep pockets to buy their products either. Being very reasonably priced, a shopper can easily afford to add these great pillows to their home décor. Need a pillow or two or three? Stop by Floradorainc. You will be pleasantly surprised.
