Holiday Candy Cane Mug Set

This sweet set of 4 10oz mugs has been hand painted with both red and white candy canes that look good enough to eat! Each glass will be slightly different which is the nature of hand painting ensuring that each will be a one of a kind original.

My glassware is painted using heat cured enamel for durability. These glasses are top rack dishwasher safe.

Custom orders are always loved-it is so much more fun to do something completely original! Just pick your glass and your design and have an original made just for you!

Want to add to the drama? How about an entire table service in the same pattern? Salt and pepper shakers,cream and sugar set,gravy boat,cruet set,butter dish,and coffee mugs. All featuring any pattern you choose.

Please understand that each and every glass is hand painted individually and therefore will have slight variations from the pictures as well as from each other…this is part of the wonderful charm of handmade!

Bright Sunflower Coaster Set

This set of 4 coasters hand been hand painted with bright yellow sunflowers to brighten up any room. Each coaster measures 4″square and has been fitted with rubber feet to protect your furniture.

Each piece has been hand painted on the reverse side which means that the paint has been put on the bottom of the glass,starting with the details and working backwords so that the design shows through the glass. This also means that your drink will not scratch the paint off the coaster so you will have you usable art for years to come.

If you are interested in another design,or maybe an entire table service to match your coasters,please use the contact us button and let me know. I would be happy to work out a special order for you.

The glasses stand a proud 9 inches tall and have a beautiful cobalt blue bowl with a clear glass stem.

Yellow Striated Sterling Silver Wrapped Sea Glass Pendant

This is a very rare piece of sea glass,one it is yellow,two it has striations in it. I often wonder what this piece of glass was in it’s former life before it was broken and beaten into it’s present shape. All of our sea glass or beach glass are found locally in Bay Head,NJ on the lovely and pristine private beaches. We then wrap each piece using solid sterling silver wire .925,none of our wire is coated or plated it is solid through and through. Each pendant comes with a a ready to wear sterling silver cable chain or if you prefer something a little more ornate you can check out the Sterling Silver Necklaces from our sister shop Chainmaille By MBOI. This pendant really makes a statement in the sea glass collectors world and would look lovely around your neck. This pendant is one of a kind (OOAK) as the sea glass is found and cannot be reproduced. This sea glass treasure measures just under 2 inches long and just shy of an inch wide.
