I've taken leave of my senses. This really isn't me but I'll go for it with the full gusto that I put into most things (especially Johnny Depp related). Wow me please then the Glass Forest.
This isn't some kind of Elvish gathering from Lord of the Rings it is a shop that sells...wait for it...glass. Funny that isn't it?
I normally couldn't get excited about glass but as far as glass goes this does the trick. It is really contemporary stuff and the glass art is really quite brilliant. Perfect house pieces and accent vases. That's because the Glass Forest is the UK's leading independent supplier of Czech Art Glass. I told you I'd throw a curve ball with this one. I'm usually more up on my Czech beer than anything else from those shores. Many pieces are even signed by the artists and for gift ideas it is up there in the originality stakes.
I was pleasantly surprised at this find and the funky and vibrant nature of it. Glassy (see what I did there?). read more
