I’d like to teach the world to sing…
.
..in perfect harmony! The first thing that came to my mind when I stumbled across this amazing handmade find was this old jingle once used in Coca-Cola commercials. It made me a little nostalgic and homesick as I sit here thinking about one of my good friends back in Chicagoland who has a whole cozy little room in her house jam-packed with Coca-Cola paraphenalia.
Windy City Glassblower is one of my favorite Etsy shops. I’m not sure I’ve shared their talent with you before, but if I haven’t, I can’t imagine why! Nick Paul, the shop owner, take glass bottles that would otherwise be trashed and turns them into awesome glasses! He uses 100% of each bottle and his goods are dishwasher safe – yipee! Nick’s got lots to offer in his shop, but if you don’t see your favorite beer, or have something particular in mind, be sure to convo him – most of his orders are made to order.
The piece that caught my eye tonight – before I remembered that I already have hearted Windy City Glassblower – was this set of Coca-Cola float glasses. I can’t even believe that these glasses were once glass bottles! If you’re interested in how Nick creates his pieces, read the description on this page – he talks about it step by step.

I already ate yet I’m still starving. I’m craving massive amounts of junk food and I can’t help it. I like to bake but I just don’t have much time anymore now that I’m working again. I barely have time to breathe let alone eat. Thankfully I have Etsy to browse in my spare time. [...]

Yes, it’s that time of the year where college basketball teams vie to be the number one team in the nation. It also means my boyfriend’s birthday is quickly approaching.

There is no one that appreciates a great cup of coffee more than I. I may not drink it every morning, or I may opt for an iced coffee, but I do love my coffee. And I’m not talking Folgers or something like that. I love to try different brands and flavors. Whole bean or [...]

I’ve had a bit of a road block finding some inspiration for tonight’s post. I’ve started a couple of posts only to go back and change my mind. I browsed Etsy some more. And that’s when I found Odds And Ends 4 U. This shop showcases some unusual and different handmade items – mostly crafted [...]
