Thank you for a successful open house

Many thanks to those of you who were able to make it to our Christmas Open House last weekend.  It was our best one to date!  Since almost all the wreaths sold, we thought we should order in just a few more to help keep the place looking dressed for the holidays.

If you missed it the first time, you've got one more chance!

We also heard a lot of people saying "gosh, it smells wonderful in here!"  They were smelling one of the Holiday scented Trapp Candles.  Several of those went out the door that day, but we do keep a good supply  of them, so you can still find all three scents available.

You'll want one of these burning while you get those Christmas decorations out!  It'll help set the mood.

Ali had a successful day upstairs, as well.  She had some special orders, and is returning this week to add to our regular supply of Babalu' fused glass.  We're already running low on the necklaces and nightlights!  Of course I had my eye on a piece of the fused art glass:

 The fused glass picture seems suspended within the black glass frame. 

 

It's just perfect in my dining room!  The west sun really shows it off, along with the need to wash some windows.

 

If  you missed us last Saturday, you can find us here Mon-Thurs 11:00 am til 5:30 pm and Saturdays 11:00 am til 4:00 until Christmas!

Babalu' Art: Imaginative Fused Glass by Ali Stinespring

 

Just a couple of days ago, Pam made a call to Ali to find out if she had more jewelry and nightlights, as we were down to our last two of each item.  Lucky for us, Ali was in town with her van and we were able to purchase some great new fused glass for the shop that day!  

We have a "connection" with Ali, not just because her mother is a friend and great customer, but also it was her grandfather who ran a grocery store from our building some years ago.

Mr. Morgan has been in our shop several times during the past 3 years, and always has the biggest smile as he walks down memory lane and shares a few stories with us.  He enjoys seeing the life brought back into the old building, although it does look a lot different.  Ali's mother, Carol, and her sisters, spent many hours helping out when their father was in business. 

But back to Babalu' Art---we currently have a couple of fused glass platters and a great selection of Ali's fused glass pendants.  She has a great new way to display each piece, so you can't miss them when you're looking around the shop!   Where else can you go to treat yourself (or someone special) to a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry other other art?  She signs each piece and does many commissioned pieces.  We put in a couple of requests and can't wait to see them.

Now for the really exciting news:  Babalu' Art will be holding a trunk show during our Christmas Open House!

Stay tuned for the exact date and time, it's just around the corner.
