Glitter Letters

Tattered & Timeless said it so well, and we are so happy she said it! We are kind of blushing over here...but we have to admit it is not the first time we have heard this. It's nice when you carry the best product on the market!

"German Glass Glitter is the only glitter you should ever use. 

I have used the store brand.  I have even popped for Martha Glitter but all of those pale in comparison to the real deal.  They don't even come in the same ball park. I took Marian's advice and ordered some from Meyers Imports and I will never go back."

Special Feature: Where Our Glitter Comes From. All The Details.

The German Glitter Mountain

Deep in the black forest is a mountain that is made completely of Glass Glitter. Most people will not believe this, as we recently traveled there to take pictures of this amazing operation. We are sworn to secrecy and can not provide the exact location to protect the owners of this mine. And just as it was in the middle ages, the Glitter is still mined with the same tools and workers, the Glitter Elfs.

  
The mined glitter tumbles down the face of cliff to collect in the conyever belt, putting each and every Elf worker at great risk of harm. But to these Elfs, nothing is too risky to get to the treasures of Glass Glitter contained in this amazing mountain. 

Once it is mined it's sorted by color, packaged and sent to us here in the States. It was great to travel to there land, to see their operation and to enjoy their freindship. And their beer was really good too!

Hope you enjoy the pictures! Happy Thanksgiving!
