Glass Vials with Corks, For Glitter, Crafts and Keepsakes!

We recently revamped our line of glass vials and belief we have a the largest selection of sizes and shapes of teeny-tiny glass vials with corks. Seven different sizes, all in stock and ready for your next project!

We also have these nice (larger) plastic vial with metal tops that are great for holding about 1/5 oz of glitters. A very nice retro look!

And if you need even more storage, we still carry our tried and true Square Jars. But this post was meant to be about our teeny-tiny glass vials, so here ya go!

Sometimes you just need a Baby Giraffe. I am not sure why, but you do....

Baby Giraffes - Hand Painted - Set of 4

One of the best parts of my job is the constant seeking of new interesting, but really tiny things to add to my collection store. Sometimes I find new suppliers that have just the prefect "must have" products and sometime is just an "ahhh, that's cute".

Well, these guys fell into the "that's cute" decision making process and we now have a large quantity of 1" Tall Giraffes to play with. Great for playing Jungle, or wild animal games, also these go really good with the tigers we are going to launch next.  I hope you enjoy them and maybe can tell me what you would use them for? I haven't quite figured that one out yet!

Let's end January on a Blue Note, with Blue Fusion Glass Glitter

Blue Fusion Glass Glitter

From the joys of Christmas, which is now just a memory, and a new year which is firmly upon us, we are entering the Wintery Valley before Spring. Yes, we are officially in the "Blue" period of the year. Spring is not here yet, Summer is way far away and there is not even a good holiday anywhere in sight, until March.

Thus, under this ominous cloud, we offer you the bluest of the blues, Our Blue Fusion.

Blue Fusion Glass Glitter

In an industry that sometime lacks real innovation, our Fusion line of glitters has really taken our little company by storm and are becoming one of best selling glitters. So, it was just natural that we would extend the line by offering more colors.

Blue Fusion Glass Glitter

This is a mixture of different sized glass grains, designed to not only give you the coverage of the small size glass grains, but with the sparkle that you can only get from the large chuck glass glitter.

However, another important aspect of this color is the blending of the shades of Blue. You see, many times the chunky glitters and the fine glitter have small differences in the shading of the color. This is normal occurrence of the production of the glitters, and normally you do not see it. But, we have taken this shading balance to add yet another dimension to Blue Fusion. From the deep blue of the chunky glass to the dusty blue of the fine, this adds a whole another element of this product.

I hope you love it as much as we do!

Why are we launching Orange Super Shards in January?

Orange Super Shards

We started in July: Well, this is the real fun part of the business. Trying to order new products in time to allow for development, production, shipping and then marketing. So back in July, when I thought it would be great to have some new Orange Super Shards for Halloween, I went to work. We started working with our partner in Germany, we did a couple of batches, (close but no cigar), changed the process, tried again, better, but not perfect, and then on the 3rd try - PERFECT.

Dark Orange Super Shards

So now, it's time to move to production, so,just make me a couple hundred pounds, please, - and oh by the way, I need like 5,000 pounds of Silver right away. Well silver comes first (Silver always comes first!) so our Orange kind of got bumped to the end of the production line. No worries, plenty of time until Halloween. Right?

Dark Orange Super Shards

And then the Holidays hit and we were running production day and night and our new Orange got bumped again. And then add 6 weeks to get it to the US from Germany and Halloween was over. Actually over a long time ago. 

Orange Super Shards

But the good news is that we have some great Orange Super Shards for next year - already in stock and ready to go! I guess it is better to be early instead of late? Well, we are way early for Next Halloween!

Really Vintage, Extra Large Brown Mushrooms

Brown Extra Large Mushrooms

We have alot of mushroom in the warehouse and they kind of look the same, with variations for size and color. So, I was not surprised when one of the guy opened a box and ShaBamm, thousands of Extra Large Brown Mushrooms that have been in stock for years, but never put on our site for sale. Wow, what a find!

They are almost as tall as our friend - The Gnomie! They are made from plaster and do not like moisture. However they were produced in the 1960's or 1970's, so they are sturdy and ready for your next crafting or art project. Want a sample? Send us your address before the end of the month, via email, and we will mail you a couple to check out!

Just in time for valentines day! Rich, Red, Dark Red Super Shards!

Dark Red Super Shard Glitter

This is not your every day glitter, Super Shards are German Glass Glitters with the largest grain size legally allowed by international law!

Small Shard of real glass, coated with real silver and then colorized will pick up the light and sparkle like no other glitter. Just in time for Valentine Day Crafting!

And we just got a new shipment in from Germany with a great new color, Dark Red!

Our customers know that we are not the kind of company that would be happy with one or two shade of red, nope. We carry 21 different shades and textures of Red. (Use our shop by color page to see them all and you can always see what's new in our store by clicking here). Remember, this is real glass and not for children.

Getting ready for Halloween? Pumpkin Spice Glass Glitter!

Introducing Pumpkin Spice Glass Glitter

We are gearing up Halloween, our Halloween shop is open (more on that later) and the witches, bats and pumpkins (all mini of course) are moving into position to be shipped to customers around the globe.

But this post is not about that, this post is all about what happens when you lock one of our designers in the glitter room with a challenge "Design something really unique for Halloween". And with over 300 colors, grits and hues of German Glass Glitter to choose from, they really did the trick.

This seasonal Glitter is a blend of over 11 different glitters, chosen to be the perfect mix of orange, with a bit of fire, brownish-red, with a bit of fall, and large grains for sparkle, and fine grits for coverage. It is really the perfect Halloween Glitter.

And wait until you see it on a pumpkin, yes the next challenge to get some pictures of the wonderful glitter pumpkins our design team has created. Wait until you see these. Wow. So, stay tuned, more to follow later this week! <<Pumpkin Spice Glitter>>

Flat Back Owls - The Star of the week! And also some duds.

We recently found these little Owls in Germany, I thought they were cute, and about 1" tall, so they met my standard for being both small and cute.

I guess I under estimated the number of Owls fans in the USA as we are already going back for a reorder. Now, to be fair I only bring over a "small" amount for a first order, as I really need to see if I have a home run hit or a huge dud. (Can someone tell me why these fabric flowers just do not sell? I thought they would do great, well, no need for a reorder on these!)

But these birds are really doing well for us and I wanted both give a big shout out to the Owls fans out there (you know who you are!) and to chalk one more nice little exclusive for our little company.

You can see more about these Owls by clicking here, and you can always send me photos of your "owls" in action for posting on my blog. Happy Birding!
