Solid. Unlike flimsy stupid plastic. And…doesn’t looking at a clear, fat jar of cookies better than staring at some plastic-covered pack of cookies at the grocery store?

It’s a Wisconsin year that’s frozen in time.

I love the craft created from sand and lightening rods in the movie “Sweet Home Alabama.”
The house I was brought home to at birth had gorgeous stained glass. The neighbor kids called it the Frankenstein house. Though I never understood then and would years later learn why, it is now a Vancouver heritage home!
I’ve broken so much glass in my life, I should have shares;)

You have to live in Brazil for the glass to age? I don’t know, I just found that funny. I think you meant “bazillion”, though is that even really a word?

Wonderful pieces of craftsmanship which are classified as nuclear waste because it’ll be a brazilian years before they’re safe to pour a glass of water from. This fact always makes me sad for reasons that I can’t really identify.
