Sunday Show-Off: September 5th, 2010

Happy Sunday!  It's a great day to catch up on house chores we neglected through the week, especially with two shows :)  I hope your Sunday is relaxing, as it's a nicer day out here than it was all week.  Well, today I wanted to share with you three of our latest glass art pieces to be listed, especially this first lovely implosion flower:

And of course just in time for the holidays, a treat for cat lovers:)

Hope you enjoy the day and have a great Labor Day tomorrow :)  See you later!
