Can there be anything more beautiful than glowing colors against a simple backdrop of white built-in shelves and exposed brick walls?  We don’t think so, which is why we held the launch of our new Beauty Color Forecast for S/S 2013 at the New York outpost of glassybaby.

The Forecast was color matched with 20 of glassybaby’s over 450+  glass-blown votive shades (see accompanying image).  read more

Why do we love glassybaby so much? In today's fast-paced lifestyle, it is easy to pass by the simple pleasures of life and overlook the organic beauty that is derived from our very own cosmos, such as color and light.

Glassybabys come in a wide variety of colors; some rich and bold such as the red Happiness, some soft and quiet such as the sheer peach Thistledown, some subdued and sophisticated such as the warm brown Whiskey. Due to the multi-layered hand-blown process, every glassybaby is distinctive in color and shape--some more transparent and others more opaque.

Glassybaby represents more than just pretty objects. It is a living, breathing story. Every glassybaby is a fraction of evidence of founder Lee Rhodes' fight for life (inspired by a 7-year battle with lung cancer) and her desire to share hope, energy and peace with others. Each piece speaks for itself, playing with light in its own manner, and when illuminated from the inside with a candle, emitting its own unique wavelengths of energy. 

Additionally, it should be noted that each year a certain group of colors is chosen under glassybaby goodwill and 10% of sales made towards a glassybaby in that group of colors will be donated to various organizations and research involved in cancer care.
