Cool Find Friday!

Jill recently told me about a company called 'Glassybaby'.  An awesome company that donates 10% of all sales to charities helping cancer patients.

In 1995, at the age of 32, Lee Rhodes was stricken with a third round of a rare form of lung cancer. The mother of three had previously given her then husband, Emery Rhodes, glass blowing lessons, and he created small glass cups, or “baby glasses”, which she would light with tea light candles to find solace during the difficult cancer treatments.[1] Encouraged by the demand from her friends, Rhodes hired local glassblowers in 1998 to produce more glassybaby, and began selling them out of her garage. From the beginning, Rhodes wanted to spread hope and give back money from sales to help cancer patients.

The product is gorgeous and comes in just about every color you can think of!  They go to a great cause.  The website also has larger thinner drinking glasses that benefit veterans battling cancer.  So go check out this awesome company that is doing great things!
