Paperweights and ornaments have many admirers and collectors.
Floppy bowls.
I've forgotten what these are called but they have an opening in the bottom so they can have lights inserted and be used to illuminate garden paths. In the background you can sort of make out some hummingbird feeders.
Lovely vases.
Autumn
The flower-garden feel of this one was interesting.
With so many eager shoppers milling about in search of treasure, I didn't take a lot of pictures. If you're a fan of blown glass, this sale is definitely worth a trip. To capitalize further on the sale, a few non Glass-Eye-affiliated artists sell their wares on the streets outside of the venue.
Ah yes, the plantets. Looks like someone's got the whole world in her hand.
The moon, Saturn, and Mercury.
Some other planet. One can collect the entire solar system.
One of the individual artist's wares with many rhododendrons.
Bird feeders. I wonder if these are really frequented by birds. the seed goes at the bottom but is glass too slick for birds to grasp? They'd be pretty hanging from a tree anyway.
The eye candy just kept coming.
What came home with me? You may have seen a few things in a recent In A Vase on Monday post. For the rest, keep your eyes peeled as they will certainly appear in future Monday arrangements.
Oh, how do I get in on this for the next sale!?

DeleteThe plethora of colors and shapes remind me of my childhood marble collection. I still love my marbles.
ReplyDeletethey do look like marbles. Sounds like you still have your collection. I lost my marbles years ago.
DeleteHa! I left that door wide open :-)
DeleteThere are some beautiful pieces for sale here. Like Linda, I'd love to check out their sale in October.

DeleteI adore blown glass in all forms. I'd have been all over those vases. I look forward to seeing your new acquisitions.
ReplyDeleteSo the beauty of it is that the Rare Plant Research open and Glass Eye Studio sidewalk sale are usually within a week or two of each other so your PNW trip could take both of those in. Nurseries here are always full of great plants in May!
DeleteI'd definitely love to peruse this sale - though I hardly need another vase, I know I'd succumb!
ReplyDeleteCool stuff! All of it by locals? Even more cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat great items. Vases and bowls - two of my faves.
ReplyDeleteI'm the odd person who just doesn't love glass like this. What's wrong with me???
ReplyDeleteAin't nothing wrong with you! You have a well-defined and amazing sense of style which is somehow exuberant and elegant at the same time, like an eagle soaring. I'm more like a silly crow easily distracted by shiny objects, gaudy colors, and anything else tat catches my eye.
DeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteSeeing all of those together is overpowering -- I'm not sure how you'd even be able to choose anything (sensory overload)! I think I'd go for the "planets" first, but what I noticed first about them is the apple trays in which they're sitting. Yes, I know apple trays well.
