New Sets for this week

I spent the past week working on glass testing with some new glasses and all time favorites.

Loving the combination of black and Light Turquoise. So classic and so trendy for 2010. Pantone's color of the year is Turquoise.

This gleaming set uses a base of another of my favorite CiM glasses, Blush. In natural light, it is a rich pink. In other lighting, it can cast hues of a pinky purple. Mixed with Double Helix's Aurae, a golden hue is fumed over the set's Aurae decorations. In any light, it is simply gorgeous!
