<p>Take a walk on the wild side! These 4 fluted glasses would work equally well for beer, wine, water, or champagne. Each has been hand painted with a different animal print in vivid color. The patterns include a giraffe, zebra, cheetah/leopard, and a tiger stripe. Each glass stands a proud 9 inches tall and has a 3 1/2 inch opening.</p>
<p>The paint is heat cured enamel that is safe in the top rack of your dishwasher.</p>
<p>Custom orders are always welcomed! Just chose a glass (I have a few more of this style) and your pattern and watch your vision come alive.</p>
<p>Want to add to the drama? How about an entire table service in the same pattern? Salt and pepper shakers, <a href="http://makinthebestofit.com/products/table-top-service/cream-and-sugar/">cream and sugar set</a>, gravy boat, <a href="http://makinthebestofit.com/products/table-top-service/cruet-sets/">cruet set</a>, butter dish, and <a href="http://makinthebestofit.com/products/glass-sets/hot-drinks/">coffee mugs</a>. All featuring any pattern you choose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buying for brides can be tough.  You either purchase something off of their registry, but that doesn&#8217;t feel very personal; or strike out on your own only to find out that the bride sold it at a yard sale six months later.</p>
<p>Here is a gift that every bride will cherish.  Her wedding invitation or wedding vows will be matted and hand painted to match her wedding theme, colors, flowers or her new home.  Now that beautiful invitation that she spent so many hours choosing will become a work of art that she can cherish for years to come.  Every one of these has gotten rave reviews from the bride and groom.</p>
<p>These treasures can also be used as a birthday gift, birth announcement, graduation, or anniversary.  A perfect gift that will mark these milestones for years to come.</p>
<p>Here is how it works.  You send me the invitation and I will mat it and paint it to your specifications; if you don&#8217;t have an invitation or announcement you and I can discuss the information you want immortalized and I will print out that information on heavy card-stock for you.  The invitations will be matted to fit into a standard  8x10frame so they are ready to hang.   Use the <a href="http://makinthebestofit.com/contact-us/">contact us </a>button to start the process!   Pricing averages $50 for a standard matt and 8&#215;10 frame.  Any additional charges, for example a larger frame, will be disclosed before any work is begun.  <a href="http://makinthebestofit.com/contact-us/">Contact us for a quote or for more information.</a></p>
