Holly's Trunk Show in Glass Melters Open Market

Holly has a trunk show this weekend in Glass Melters Open Market on Facebook. The show is called "Purple and Friends" as she went a little nuts making purple beads and kitties!

Fire Divas Glass Market

The Fire Divas are BACK baby! In a BIG way! We've started our very own market on Facebook!! Why not? The Divas have been a team for a long time. And our fans are used to seeing us together... so why not in our very own sales venue??? The Fire Divas Glass Market launched and jumped to 150 members almost overnight. The site is public but after we get a significant number of buyers, we're going to make it more private - members only. Of course, we'll be giving you and our fan page sneak peeks...but you will have to join to shop!

What you'll find in the Fire Diva's Glass Market:

• Top notch glass beads and jewelry from an elite artisan team that has been together for the better part of a decade!
• Beads, big hole European Charm beads for Pandora, Troll, Links of London etc. Jewelry, Wine toppers, beaded pens (gift items), off mandrel.... if a Diva makes it, we'll show it off and sell it!
• And fun and friendly way to interact with artisan beadmakers
• Less than 100 listings at any time... there are only 11 Fire Divas and we want to keep the board interesting and exciting for our buyers! 

Here's a sampling of what's up there NOW!

Fire Divas Holiday Traditions

Believe it or not, sitting behind our torches aren't the only things Diva's do for the holidays. I asked the Divas to share some of their holiday traditions.

My own personal favorite holiday tradition is going to the bonfire lighting on the levee of the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Tradition there is that Santa can't see to navigate the bayou in the dark so all the families would come out and build these 20 - 30 foot high bonfires to let Santa know where to stop. Now, entire villages have bonfire lightings. 

 Some of the bonfires just before Christmas Eve 2009

They have contests for the shape of the bonfire, the local fire dept will have a chili contest and sell of the makings. People play Christmas music from speakers on top of trucks. It goes on til Midnight and you can see bonfires for miles miles on the levee.

Lara Lutrtick's favorite holiday tradtition dates back to junior high:

My mom would bake gingerbread houses and my sister and I would go and pick up the candies we wanted to use and make yummy houses. My sister now lives far away, but I would like to see her and my nephew make gingerbread houses too, maybe when he is older.

Sonja of Silver River Glassworks reflects back to her German heritage

My favorite Christmas tradition is Christmas Eve at my sisters house. We have a traditional German meal with homemade spaetzl and then read the Christmas story out loud. Then we open gifts and hang out.

Amy Sims of Amy Sims Designs concentrates on making memories for her children:

I don't really have any from my childhood, but for my kids we've been making gingerbread houses every year and that's been a lot of fun. Now that they are getting older the house are getting more elaborate and better executed!

 Rose of  Spawn of Flame takes pleasure in simple tradition.

We go to church.

And Cindy of CindyLynneGlass cracked us all up with her holiday traditions:

There was a traditional poker game that my parents and my mothers brothers and sisters would always play after dinner and gift opening. My cousins, my sister and I would put on a skit each year. We did little comedy acts, or made up plays, I would do some gymnastics. Havent thought of that in years! But I can remember a picture my mother took of me wearing a wig, white gloves and a short shirt funny, I can see that picture clear as day in my mind!

 And folks, here it is! Cindy in all her glory!

We would LOVE it if you shared some of your holiday traditions with us below!

Happy Holidays from the Fire Divas!
