Bay Area denziens are fortunate to have their pick of handmade crafts, art, furnishings, glass - and the list goes on - right in our own back yards. Each year some of the artisans who normally only work as wholesalers will open their doors to the public and offer steep discounts to a very grateful public. Below are some offerings from Union Street Glass in Richmond, near Berkeley. The Aptos light fixtures in the second picture glow like jewels; I picked up four of them at a shocking discount two years ago. The doors are open again on weekends this month; get there while you can!

| I adore the Manhattan collection of glasses and light fixtures shown in the bottom row. If I could only find a place for that light in my house . . . . |
 |
| The Aptos collection radiates light. |
 |
| TheAptos orbs are other-worldly. |
 |
| The Morph collection is aptly named; a unique addition to any space. These and the Aptos come in multiple colors. |
 |
| This Morph table lamp is so fun and elegant. |
 |
| The Manhattan collection of stemware seems insprired by early 20th century design. I can easily envision Nick & Nora - or Eva and Josef (see below) - having a drink with these. |
