Oh yeah - I have a Blog

June 15, 2016

It's been a while since I've posted here, sometimes being too busy means you forget to do some of the more optional things :) In any case, since April we've been very busy here with several new products. Below is our first memorial hummingbird. I've been selling glass hummingbirds as ornaments since 2014 over at my Etsy store and figured they would be a great addition to the memorial line up. We found a glass maker who does amazing hummingbirds and modified the existing design so we could hang a small silver keepsake urn containing the actual ashes of a person or pet below.

I think it came out nice; this is the first prototype (already sold) and we have several more coming. I hope our memorial hummingbirds will be a great seller down the road both as direct purchases and as sympathy and bereavement gifts.
