วีดีโอ

When I lived in Ohio, I found a lot of them antiquing. Ohio has a strong and long history of glassmakers around the region and glass seems to be littered everywhere there. I also could find salts thrifting. I did purchase a portion of the collection from Ebay which seems to always have a lot of availability and variety. They are fun to collect!

I do glue them in! I just didn't in this video.

@@stortsmarket Thanks! I bought your tutorial and it's fantastic, so detailed!

Yes! Mostly through antiquing and thrifting as well as some Ebay purchases.

Thanks! I do not remember where I got the template but I have some that I will be listing in my Etsy shop in the next couple of weeks. I typically post updates about Etsy info on my blog - Stortsmarket.com - and also on Instagram - @lesleystorts and @stortsmarket.

Thank you so much!

Thanks! This was a fun and colorful box.

Thanks so much! A labor of love and so happy to almost have it finished.

Thank you!

Thanks! This box had some really great pieces in and so much color!

Thank you! It is a fun space and I feel really fortunate to get to spend time in it.

Thank you!

Thank you! And welcome! I have more glass to share.

There are definitely avid glass collectors in the world. I bet you have some treasures in all that your mother left behind.

Thank you! And welcome - happy to have you here.

Thank you! I do attach with glue 98ish% of the time. Occasionally a piece does not require glue but for practical reasons, gluing in the pincushion works best for me.

It is fun to play, make and create with the glass! I have found the majority of my glass through antiquing and the occasional find while thrifting or attending an estate sale. I found most of my glass while living in Ohio. I purchased many "lots" of glass from Ebay when I was building my salt cellar collection a few years ago. I check regularly and there are still hundreds available on Ebay. I'm a part of a salt cellar group on Facebook and there are some serious collectors there and sometimes people have sales. I haven't purchased from any of those individuals, but it is a frequent occurrence for sales to happen - so another avenue for buying. Good Luck! And thanks for watching.

Hello fellow maker! Thanks for watching.

Those salts are treasures waiting for you! Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for watching!

Yay! Such a fun journey collecting glass - the hunt and then the find. Makes me want to go antiquing right now!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Absolutely! I have many more boxes to catalog and go through.

Thanks so much!

I'm so glad they are helpful! And the templates - I've had mine for years but I'm having some made and will have them in my Etsy shop soon!

@@stortsmarket I'll be watching for them, thank you!

Thanks Julie! Odile's fabric is so fun with so many possibilities.

Haha - that's a personal decision! I have hundreds but estimate that I've made over 2,000 pincushions from salt cellars and other pieces of glass. So, depending on what you are doing with them, a few or a few thousand.

There's a coating on the windows but if lights are on inside, especially at night, you can see in. There are roller shades that can be lowered.

Aww! Glad you liked it! And I kind of felt that way when I started collecting the glass...and then I just kept going back and collecting more.

Thanks so much! The glass is so fun and interesting.

It is a beautiful color in glass!

We always use buttons! When my daughter and I wrote the pattern many years ago, we decided our style was a button and 6 threads on every pincushion.

Thank you! I went back and forth on that fabric because you cannot see the whole flower. In the end, I really liked how it turned out.

Thanks! That glass was a little difficult so I was happy I could find a more complimentary print.
