Lumel reminded me a lot of Bogenrief Studios in Des Moines Iowa. And the only thing hotter than all this glass is Gayle. :) I stopped by a couple times and took home a fireweed-design beer glass, a cooler smaller model that will work for wine, plus assorted tchotchkes (marble, heart, and a musical note). That was probably more than I needed, but I was excited to be here. My only regret was not having enough time to take a glass class here.
