Ben Blair sent me a link to this video. It wowed me and made me feel Christmas-y all at the same time. I hope it will do the same for you!
Growing up, my family always used goblets for Sunday dinner and l loved running a wet finger around the rim to get that sound. Have you ever made your glass sing?
P.S. — The holly wreath I made is also making me feel Christmas-y. It’s so pretty! But I confess, I found working with the holly to be very difficult — I’m not sure I would ever brave another holly wreath again. : )

That video is fantastic! I love when people do interesting things with everyday objects!
Me too!
Love the video! It wouldn’t be Christmas without the Nutcracker. What a unique and beautiful rendition.
Holly is definitely not for the faint-of-heart.
Ohh how I love this!
Your wreath is beautiful. How funny about the goblets. My husbands family did the same thing with the wet ring around the goblets. I was so impressed with this when I was dating him. Thanks for the memory. Merry Christmas!
I remember feeling so proud — and sort of shocked — the first time I got a sound out of the glass.
This is amazing! Wow!
so impressive and awesome!
well that was just beautiful…thank you for sharing it with us!
Talented & creative folks…don’t you wonder how they got started? I mean, was it one glass, then, let’s try another until they had an entire symphony of sound? Love it!
What a fun thought, Bonnie!
No way! How cool was that? It’s a good reminder to let the kids play at the dinner table–who knows what might come of it. ;-) Thanks for the Christmas cheer.
I love your holly wreath. My father-in-law is visiting tomorrow from Virginia and I’m hoping his pockets will be filled with holly for us!
That is incredible! My mom and I just saw the Joffrey Ballet do Nutcracker in Chicago last week. It was incredible.

What a treat, Steph! I’m sure it was stunning.
That is so amazing! Ella is in the Nutcracker again this year, I can’t wait to show this to her! Do you think kids can take glass lessons? :)
P.S. I imagine that holly is painful, but is sure is beautiful. I LOVE that wreath I am a big fan and use holly garland on our mantle, but it’s fake!
love it!!
im sharing this on fb!
WOW. SO amazing! The Sugar Plum Fairy always gives me chills…but this is something else.
Wow that video is very cool. I would love a talent like that.
