For anyone looking for a unique and meaningful gift, look no further! I was recently thrilled to stumble upon a little bit of "green" heaven in a line of gifts and tablewear from a company called Fire & Light.
It all started years ago when the oldest recycling community in the nation got together to discuss ways of resolving the issue of shipping their glass for recycling, which was very expensive and cost prohibitive. After discussing their options, a solution emerged. Fire & Light was created to utilize the post consumer recycled glass and in the process, create jobs for the community. ( Who said that green business can't save our planet and our ecomony? Pishaw.) Currently, Fire&Light produces a delicious line of glass tableware, home accessories and art glass in colors that take your breath away.
Here are some of my favs.
Splash Bowl. It's shape, color and the swirls of color within it make it a true work of art. As with many of their products, it comes in a wide range of hues. And at $46, it's a deal.
The Goblets and other barware. At left. This colorful glassware make that beverage extra special, and a set of 4-8 make a eco fab gift.
Purchase their dinner plates in one color and salad plates in another. This creates wonderful contrast and texture.
Soap dish & Footed Jar w/ Lid. Add some natural lavender soap and you have yourself another special gift.
All of the Tealights. The candlelight reflects into the glass for a special effect. Love the Splash and Conch Shell in particular.
Many of the items come signed by the artisan, making it a true piece of art!
