Beautiful Blown Glass

(Click on pictures for a closer look.)

Here at the South Texas coast, the light is fantastic.  Being in the lower latitudes, the sun's rays are more direct, and they make everything look brighter.  The play of the sun on the water is gorgeous, and we love our shiny glass art objects, to continue the vision indoors.  Bring one home, place it near a window, and watch it glow!

Home Is Where the Hutch Is

(Click on pictures for a closer look.)

A hutched buffet next to your table says, "This is home."  It's where your mom kept her linens and tableware, and it served as a sideboard for the extras at those special meals--a pot of coffee, a pitcher of water, an assortment of pies all lined up for dessert.  The one in the upper photo has big drawers, little drawers, cabinets, and display shelves.  The top hutch section features two glass doors and a fixed pane of glass in the center (not shown).

The large hutch in the lower photo is a massive piece of furniture with a rich finish, textured glass, and porcelain knobs.  It has drawers, glass-doored cabinets, a display shelf, and a built-in bench.
