Hello readers! Moscow Hempfest was this past weekend, and can be counted as a great success. I learned so much from the experience, and even earned a little green. The weather was absolutely fabulous and entirely uncharacteristic of Moscow, ID in the month of April. A cloudless sky and temperatures in the mid to high 80's brought throngs of people to the park, and there were constantly people at the booth so I did not even have the opportunity to get around to the other side of the stage. One booth I was able to get to was one just across the path and slightly to the side; that booth belonged to the aptly named Glass Gods, a full service glass studio located in Spokane, WA. I could not resist purchasing several of their pendants for future projects; the supreme quality of craftsmanship and friendly, professional interaction created the single best business shopping experience I have had thus far in my entrepreneurial endeavors.

In addition to hand blown glass pendants of all shapes and sizes, Glass Gods sports an array of glass mandrel beads capable of ending my long standing frustration with the center-size of my glass beads being too small to use with even the smallest hemp I am able to buy. I am finally able to use my heavier hemp to create chunkier pieces with more than just a pendant.

And! (yes, I know, that's grammatically incorrect. I did it on purpose) AND! I found out that Glass Gods also creates customized orders, so much so that customers are able to watch items being made and modify them on the fly. My shortlist of glass bead providers just became a whole lot shorter. Thanks again and again, Glass Gods! I will see you in Spokane on my next visit!

Thanks all and have a great day! More pics to come soon!
