While in Hawaii, Ashley informed me that she and Brandon were going in together on a birthday gift for me, and we proceeded to look through various shops and fairs for local artisans to locate the perfect item.  I found a couple of things that I quite liked, but they weren’t perfect…  or were way out of budget 🙂  

So I asked if it would be ok if I waited til I got home to find a gift from my favorite local artists store – Musings Artist Inspired.   Local artist Celeste Stuhring has created dichroic glass watches that catch my eye every time I visit.   Here is what I selected:

Isn’t it beautiful!? I haven’t worn a watch for years – not since I started carrying a cell phone – but I’m very excited about wearing this piece of art every day.

Thanks Brandon, Ashley and families!!

Oh My….I don’t usually go on or comment on stuff like this but I absolutely love that piece. Might have to head north to see what other pieces are available from you artist.

Beautiful Allison! Craig, When I visited Allison last year she took me to this gallery. It was a wonderland of amazing art. I particularly liked their stained and glass leaded pieces. You and Paul should take a trip up north. I loved my time there. Of course Allison is a wonderful and attentive hostess.

Beautiful shimmery blues. It reminds me of the ocean. 🙂 Happy Birthday!

That is absolutely gorgeous, is that abalone shell by chance? Really, that is exquisite!

Gorgeous! and what sweet children you have, very thoughtful.

It’s fused dichroic glass… the colors change with the light, very irridescent and oceany looking.

The northwest is art-glass central – one of my favorite things here!
