Weekend Fun!

This weekend daa headed up to Warwick, NY to spend time with friends and catch the Warwick Summer Arts Festival. If anyone is in the area and looking for a nice afternoon with friends or family consider it. Warwick on a normal day is a great desination, but from July 7th - July 16th, it has extra appeal. They are having art shows, workshops, and music performances. There is also something called The Mannequin Project going on in conjunction with the festival. There are 30 mannequins throughout the town which have been a blank canvas for local artists. The theme for these creations is "peoples impact on the environment." It is fun to spot the mannequins around the town and interesting to see what the artists have come up with. The photos above are a few of these mannequins. The only thing these lovely ladies were missing was a little daa glass...hehehehe. For more info about the festival link to www.warwickarts.org or www.warwickinfo.net

Also this weekend daa was rooting for Italia!!!!! And WAHOOOOOOOOOOO they won!!! Daa will miss the World Cup but is happy their favorite team won!

Summer sale coming soon!!!!!

HAPPY 4th!!!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!! ENJOY!

Highly Recomended!

I recently threw my sisters shower and used a company called Paper Source for the invitations, decorations, and other paper needs. They are a wonderful online store, with a few brick and mortar locations, who sell beautiful paper products. The letterpress items are what first caught my eye. I absolutely LOVE letterpress, but it is expensive. We got the do it yourself invitations which were a little bit of work, but WELL WORTH IT!!!!! We got so many compliments on them. Their slogan is great too! "Do something creative everyday." The company is easy to work with and very reliable. I highly recommend checking them out. LINK HERE

What a Week!!

Ever have one of those weeks?? It starts out as one of those days...and then by Wednesday, you know you are in for it. Well that was the kind of week we had last week. Lets just put it this way, it started out on Monday, with someone driving their car into the studio, right through the garage door. What a mess. I will not continue on with the rest of the week, but needless to say it did not get much better. This situation put daa glass a bit behind, but we are back at full force now. It is a new week and we are off to a great start, knocking wood as I type! :)

it's been a while....

A very long while. I have been quite busy working and recently returned from a wonderful trip to Italy. I am going to make an effort to update here with daa glass related info along with a few personal thoughts, photos, etc. I have a lot of ground to make up so I will get started now.
I picked up a lot of new stores so be sure to check them out if they are in your neck of the woods.
