Recycled Glass!

I really love glass..and so does my husband John. He loves to peruse pictures of beautiful glass art by Lalique. I like to collect certain kinds of glass jars! Anyway,

there is this place in Oregon, run by the St. Vincent de Paul people, and they take glass and recycle it and sell it. One of the things they make is this Celtic Suncatcher. Isn't that cool?

Here is a little "blurb" about it and the website....

Recycled Glass Suncatcher- Celtic Knot

When a visionary man from St. Vincent de Paul saw a smallmountain of glass growing off the freeway, he decided to recycle it instead of see it go to a landfill. And so, the Aurora Glass Foundry was born, owned and operated by the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County, Oregon. Since then, Aurora Glass has become a powerful resource for the community, recycling old windows and other waste glass that previously landed in the dump. All the profits are returned to the community in the form of assistance for homeless and low-income people through emergency services, housing, jobs, training, and other charitable endeavors.

This tasteful recycled glass Celtic Knot Suncatcher will add beauty to your home all year round. It hangs from a looped hemp cord finished with Czech glass beads.
