Glass Art

(Artist: Sam Stang, Missouri)

 What do you get when you mix gorgeous art,  yummy food, great music,
a picturesque neighborhood and a perfect day?


The Plaza Art Fair!

(Artists: Jim and Renee Engebretson, Wisconsin)

WOW!
 I was smitten by the glass pieces this year.  

As much as I may have wanted to plunk down $2000 to buy that bowl,
the ol' pocket book said "nope".

(Engebretson)

But these tweet birdies made it back to my house.

    This has to be the most beautiful bowl I have ever seen. It is exquisite! I don't often see something I really want but I would adore to own this. (It looks like you had a lovely day too.)

    Gayle what a gorgeous weekend to have it too. My oldest went and said it was wonderful. The glass work reminds me of Chihuly. We took the kids to see his art glass in the St. Louis botanic gardens a few years ago and it was magical. The birds are perfectly at home in your space...smiles...Renee

    Those little birds are so sweet. I thought I wanted that big orange plate in the top photo but after your comment on the vase I decided that your birdie choice was much better!

    The glass work reminds me of looking through a kaleidoscope.

    Beautiful glass pieces. That bowl is exquisite. I can imagine that took quite a while to make.
    Your birds are adorable.

    The glass is absolutely beautiful,
    the light just skims off them.

    I love the two birdies you brought home with you.
    I am sure they will look great in your house.

    Have a good Sunday
