When my grandmother in West Virginia died, it took us 2-3 days to clean up the house, or at least get everything organized into piles for what was staying and what was being sold with the estate. One of the things that struck everyone was the sheer volume of glass art my grandmother had accumulated over the years. She had everything from clowns, to paper weights, to ash trays, to flowers all scattered about the house.
When I was first turned on to White Walls, the stuff there reminded me of her collection (extensive as it was), and she even had a piece very similar to the one below (only it wasn’t as colorful; it was blue with white enamel on it).
White Walls has some great original hand made artwork, and while it’s easy to dismiss, there really isn’t anything as unique or interesting as a one of a kind glass piece. The prices at White Walls are $100 lower than the list price at the moment for all the pieces they have available, so if you’ve ever wanted to own a unique conversation piece to spice up your decor a bit, this might be the time to take the plunge.
Oh, and don’t forget. This stuff is all hand-made, so when you do get yours, it will be unique and no one will ever get the exact same piece again. When the Joneses decide they want to keep up with you, they’ll have to settle for something else!
