Design Inspiration: glassybaby

 

glassybaby is simple, yet it represents so much more. glassybaby = love. hope. dreams. remembrance. grace. beauty. joy. silence. wonder.

 

For founder, Lee Rhodes, glassybaby represents hope. As a lung cancer survivor Lee founded the company in 1998, after her husband brought home a vase from an art class and Lee accidently dropped a tea candle into the vase. The result = a magical and life changing moment.

Lee was named 2011 Entrepreneur byEntrepreneur.com Lee is not only a great woman inside and out; but her company represents corporate citizenship at its best. 10% of all revenue is donated to charities that focus on improving, healing and promoting life to folks who are affected by cancer.

glassybaby is a “metaphor for life” and it is intended to give exponentially to others.

Inspired by how mood effects moods and emotions, there are over 459 different colors to choose from. Below are just a few of the many color choices available.

If you are feeling inspired and want to use glassybaby for one of your interior spaces, give glassbaby as a gift, or use one for an event, head over to their site. I know I will be there shopping soon.

Thanks Blogfest2012 for sharing Lee’s inspiring story and her business. A story, that hits home and one we all in some way or another can relate, as many are affected by cancer.

More to come from Blogfest…I didn’t realize how many pictures I had and just trying to sift through them all. 🙂
