HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Happy St. Pat's to all! I've been so busy with my glass work I have really slacked off with my posting and I apologize! I found out that AP picked up my newspaper article and ran it in Clinton Iowa! It has generated more custom orders for me and I am thrilled!!! Also, wanted to give everyone that loves SCARY MOM her new link...http://scarymommy.com/?p=410 She has had to rebuild her website. So, I've got her link on my blog list but wanted to give a shout to all here in my post. She's a hoot! With gratitude, GO GREEN! Laurie B.

Is that a lamp hanging in your tree?

How cool is this idea??? We lived in a huge four square Sears home for several years and when we moved to The Olde Farmhouse I had no place for this beautiful stained glass lampshade. It has been sitting around collecting dust and driving me batty! I just couldn't find a place for it and couldn't part with it either. I pride myself in re-use of all things if possible but this just takes the cake! I had this bird feeder which gets wet when it rains and the critters can gain access to it so I strung a wire up through the shade and voila! A critter proof birdfeeder that is beautiful too! I think it's very lovely. I plan to make some stained glass lampshades only a bit smaller and sell them as toppers for feeders such as this. If you would like to custom order one, just say the word! I think this idea rocks! With gratitude, Laurie B.

CELEBRATE NATIONAL RECYCLING MONTH -- SHOP GREEN!

Honor sustainable living!

Hello friends!

Here is yet another RE-use for old windows! My husband found this window in our shed, apparently left by a previous owner. I thought the charm of the frame was undeniable and decided to do a glass mosaic applique' to put it to good use!

So, in honor of Recycling Month I want to challenge each of you to find things to RE-use!!! With gratitude, Laurie
