i am just in love with his work
especially these celestial brass bottle openers...

i adore how they have a modern and antique look...
truly exceptional metal work.

very cool alternative christmas trees...



this is the worlds largest glass
christmas tree...
this tree was made by a group of glass blowers
and is 25 feet tall


Fiber Optic Christmas tree...
usually these are extremely tacky
but this one is done right!
what a cool tree...


this tree is made from glass water bottles
and took two days to assemble...
by the design firm Paprika.
