We have a new sign ~ Thank you Jackie :-)

This was a wonderful collaboration of efforts. I created the graphics. My sister-in-law, Jackie Lease printed the graphics and Bill made the sign frame.

Thank you Jackie for such a beautiful printing job :-).

Jackie’s company is “Signs Here, in Bozeman, Montana.

Fish stories


A customer came in the shop asking for Bill. I told him Bill was in back cleaning fish. Then I had to add ~ we are no Pikes Market of the Bitterroot ~ he is cleaning bead release out of the fish he just pulled from the kiln.

Wine~O accessories



I have expanded our Wine~O accessories section at the store to include gift sets. I hope to make several of these to sell at our Saturday market.

Sea Turtles ~ not just for Jack Sparrow to ride on

I have been making different little glass animals for our store, my favorite creations are sea turtles. I was very sad when I discover a small crack on one of my little sea turtles. Usually cracked glass goes out into the garden. I couldn’t bear to part with this cute little guy so I glued him on one of our stone displays. This gave me the idea of making sea turtles on stones bases.

Mini version of our outdoor market

Now that the weather is getting nicer we have decided to set up a little display table outside of our store. This can be seen from the road. The outside display table is also a throwback from the Saturday Market we have done in Missoula. We love the outdoor event and the way our glass looks outside in the sun.

Bill has installed a small torch set up in our store and gives torch demos on Saturdays.

We have a steaming video showing how a marble is made ~ but people wanted to see the real flames. Now they can.
New items added to our “Wino Accessories” This is a “Fish Bottle Bling” it is a cork for wine and champagne bottles that need to go into the refrigerator and long term storage.
We have added Birdhouses to our little box store. My dad (Richard Lease) makes these and he calls them “Forever Bird Houses”. They are designed and built to last forever.
