As I’ve gotten deeper into vintage buying and selling, I’m discovering new ways to incorporate vintage pieces into my everyday life and décor and I thought I'd share some ideas.

As online shopping has increased tremendously over the past 10 years, more and more individuals have entered the online marketplace trying to sell their hand-crafted items, thinking it’s the perfect way to make some extra money doing what they love. And it can be, but it’s often not as easy or simple as people think. I’ve been selling online since 2012, and thought I’d share what I think are important steps in the process to help get you started.

Have you heard the terms “stained glass”, “fused glass”, “blown glass”, and “lamp working”, but aren’t sure what the differences are between them all? I thought I’d outline the basics to give a better understanding of each one.

People often ask me how long it takes to make a stained glass piece, and what goes into it.

Have you ever walked into a church and been mesmerized by the colorful light pouring in through the beautiful stained glass windows and thought, "Wow! I'd love something like that in my house!" If only you had gigantic church windows in your house to put it! Of course looking for something on a smaller scale is more practical, and since every house is different I thought I'd discuss some of the basics for determining which type of piece might work best in your home.

If you have been searching unsuccessfully for the perfect size, color, and design of a ready-made stained glass panel for your home, or are looking for a truly meaningful anniversary or birthday present for that special someone in your life, then having a custom stained glass piece created to your unique specifications could be just what you need!
