Review: Recycled Champagne Glass Tray

Apr-9-2011 By Barbara Zak

The Recycled Glass Champagne Tray is a great example of reuse

This Recycled Champagne Glass Tray, is one of the most beautiful and fun gift ideas, I’ve come across in a while ! A champagne bottle flattened into a gorgeous tray. The deep green color of the glass, combined with ornamental decoration of copper and glass beads, makes it a unique and artistic, though very practical gift.  It absolutely can be a gift to yourself, and it was for me! I just had to have it.

The Recycled Glass Champagne Tray is so unique

Each piece is a one-of -a- kind, original piece of art, in a slightly different shape and configuration. Each item is unique, so it might vary slightly from the picture. Anybody that knows me, knows that I love things that are reborn into something useful. That is what I love about this recycled glass champagne tray.

It’s always a good idea to be prepared!

Everyone knows that Japan, was as prepared as any nation could be, for the terrible disaster that occurred there, just two weeks ago.  Then, just yesterday, Meyanmar, was hit with a 7.0 earthquake.  Last month, it was New Zealand.  Almost weekly, there is some disaster happening, somewhere, leaving many of us to wonder, can we ever really be prepared?

One way you can be prepared

Given what is happening in Japan, it is scary to think , how unprepared, most of us are. I don’t just mean financially,but, what if a flood or fire,or any natural disaster,left you wondering where and how,you were going to get your next meal, or feed your family?  In these tough times, not many would turn down an offer of getting good food for free.  Especially, tasty food that isn’t a government sponsored program, and is just too good a deal to pass up.  Having a good supply of food on hand, is one way to be prepared.

I’m not one to join, this or that program. But, this one just makes good sense. Read the rest of this entry »
