Flowers die, chocolates melt, glassybaby forever. That is the compelling concept behind this Seattle-based hand-blown glass vessel business, which grew out of founder Lee Rhodes' garage into something Oprah and Martha Stewart talk about.

These look so beautiful. I am amazed that some people can spend the money on multiples of them, though. The founder says she wants to try to sell them like flowers, send a box of glassybabies instead of flowers. She was quoted as saying she just wants 1 billion of the 16 billion dollar flower market. But isn't there a limit to how many people will buy? There is certainly a limit to how many can afford to buy ONE $40 candle holder, beautiful and made by skilled artisans or not. Unfortunately her dream of a Glassybaby in every household just can't happen I'm afraid. Must be one of Oprah's favorite things. emma1199 on Jul 17, 2010
