hot glass. cold beer.

remember when i shared with you that i started glassblowing again? 
well, my little crew of glassblowers and i have been working our little tails off this past month for our Hot Glass. Cold Beer. Party.
we held the party this past friday as a way to introduce the new hot shop to our tiny town.  
everyone who attended received a free beer mug made by us plus free booze all night. 
not too shabby eh?
we flew in 4 glassblowers from seattle who did 2 amazing demos for a very intrigued audience.  
we also held a silent auction for some of the things we've been working on, like the plates below.  
mine was blue and SOLD.  i know, right?  like someone paid a lot of money for it....suckas slash my new favorite anonymous person ever.  (thanks for making me feel awesome)
the seattle crew made a gorgeous redwood tree and one bad ass cowboy.
a huge thank you to all of my amazing friends who showed up to support!

{my plate sold!?  funny feeling but i hope whoever bought it loves it forever}
{mustache cups.  creepy 'stache cup line coming soon}


p.s. we were all pretty burnt out last thursday night before the party so we decided to create mustache beer mugs.  dear friends: your newest birthday gifts.  
tell me the creepiest 'stache your heart desires and it's all yours.

I am so impressed with your glass & your glass blowing talents! I would totally have purchased it - you need to get yourself making those on a regular basis! awesome job!
