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.

I grew up a few blocks from their Madrona studio and my mom has a few of them. They are absolutely beautiful.

For those of you concerned about the $40.00 price tag...they are hand made in the United States by skilled crafts people. I don't know where your morals lay, but I have such a hard time with the fact that we are constantly buying things that support sweat shops, the loss of American jobs, child labor, etc because we all want things cheap. cheap. cheap. Buy quality and less quantity and put your dollar where ethics are. (Of course, if your ethics are not the same as mine, look at Walmart instead...or Crate and Barrel who have a long history of mass producing popular independent designs without paying licensing fees. Which, in fact, they did to Glass Babies a few years ago.) eowes on Apr 29, 2008

I walked by the store the other day and, um, yeah, I was confused how they could sell nothing but different colored otherwise identical glasses. At $40, I really don't get it. They don't look at all impressive to me.

I guess this must be the fashionista equivalent of beanie babies. sorin on Apr 28, 2008
