Use the pieces as a mosaic on a window so the sun comes through and makes that blue crackle really sparkle for you.

What a shame.....then we wonder why some children have so little respect for others! Hope she didn't have little ones with her.
You might consider putting some clear pieces in with your blue, as a clear plate between pieces. You have some niece pieces collected so far. The broken piece really will be pretty in a mosaic.

Well, I haven't broken them in the store, but I did drop an entire bag of glassware I had purchased and broke everything in there but one! After calling myself several unpleasant names for being such a klutz, I took out the one that didn't break and threw the rest in the trash. Sometimes things just happen. I'm sorry that the other lady wasn't at all concerned, but I'll bet you'll find some other pieces soon...continue the hunt! Be sure to post your totem...we have a lot of junkies here!

I was at the Goodwill today -- and they rearranged the whole place. The first thing I said to DH when I got home was how skinny they made the aisles. I had to squeeze past a cart - and I mean SQUEEZE . I HATE IT !!!! I had a few things in my arms and I knocked a few things over that were on the shelves. It's ridiculous how small they made it. The inventory is down , the prices are up and the aisles got skinny. Sorry for venting -- but my favorite place is RUINED !! >:(

I've broken several pieces myself. I don't need any help. I invested about $35. in a rock tumbler & have turned many colorful broken pieces into "beach glass". I used some to decorate stepping stones. I also used a good bit as "mulch" in the pots where I planted glass plate flowers on copper stems in concrete. A pot full of concrete isn't a pretty sight, but mulched with glass, it looks much nicer. - Laura

Like Marlene, I dropped a bag when I got home
and both pieces broke- I really wanted that 2 cup
mixing cup, and the cloche!
I have a rock tumbler and have been saving pieces
to make 'beach glass' too.
Toomuch,I know what you mean--our GW put a lot of
things on a shelf on top of the clothes racks. You
can't get down the rows to look because of people
looking at clothes! I HATE IT TOO~

I broke a few pieces while making totems. Why is it that the prettiest ones are the most breakable?

You all are enablers. Now you are going to make me buy a tumbler. lol

Marquest, you have some really pretty pieces there.

I'd like to toss out an idea.
A little off topic, though.

Blue glass does seem to be hard to find.
But it can be combined with other things.

A few years ago, someone posted pictures
Of totems made combining cobalt blue glass
And terracotta flower pots.

They were absolutely beautiful!

Just a thought. . .

Thank you therustyone for the suggestion.

I did a search and found some blues done with different colors and clear glass. I might have to do alternate since there is not much blue out there and even less when I break them. lol
