We bought a couple of pumpkins. One for our friends, an orange one and a cream and gold one to add to our collection.
Rick and Janet’s dedication to glass blowing is evident in the excellent quality of their work. The emphasis in their small studio is on creativity and innovation. Each piece is a free-hand expression of the excitement and risk-taking found in an experimental glassblowing studio.
Rick and Janet have ventured out into making lighting, sinks, statues, beautiful bowls, goblets and more. Their figurative sculptures, lighting sculptures and multiple piece ceiling installations are commissioned in many hotels and private residences all over the world.
Goblets, vases and more.
Their latest adventures is Shorebirds, Quail, and Equine. Go check them out! They have some amazing pieces. Nicolson Blown Glass
My brother came by for a couple of days this week, while on a layover. My Mother joined us for one of the days to see my brother who lives in Southern California. I gave my Mother a perm and fixed lunch for all of us.
On top of that, our friends had a dinner party last night and I baked a 4 layer carrot cake for dessert Saturday morning before the tea. I am exhausted! Enjoy the coming week!
