As I was preparing for this year's Junebug, one of my clients shared with me that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.  A few months prior, a client for whom I had recently finished a stained glass window commission died after a lengthy battle with breast cancer.  And shortly before that, a good friend of mine had undergone surgery and radiation, also for breast cancer. At that time, I considered making a donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation.  But then I decided I wanted to make some art to tie in with their fight.  I created a limited run of my best selling 08840 coasters with pink confetti glass (pictured above) and will be donating the proceeds of the sales to the Komen foundation.  I will have them for sale at Junebug, wrapped in pretty pink tissue and boxed for gift giving-- even if the recipient is you!  I kept one of the sets that I made and each time I use them, I think of these strong, beautiful woman and many like them on this journey-- cheers to their spirit!
