I buy glass, I thrift for glass, I hit garage, estate and vintage glass fairs. My husband has taken me to see the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA. as a birthday trip. I’ve been to Chihuly exhibits and where ever we travel, all over the world you can find me standing at a glass display in one museum or another, admiring, coveting.

Facing pressure from my own sense of having too much and a husband who would make an occasional comment (his forbearance was admirable but eventually limited) I saw a picture online of a glass flower bouquet and an enormous flashing light went on over my head. “Hey, I could do that couldn't I?” And so it started.

Now I’m back...and here I go hoping to add sparkle and beauty to yards and lives of people I’ve yet to meet....
