Add Color to your
This year, our Thanksgiving gatherings might be smaller in size, but they are by no means smaller in significance. So let’s be sure to dial up our traditions, especially the colors, and add even more brilliance into our homes, and to the homes of our loved ones.
Thanksgiving Inspiration
from the #hotshopmama
Cheryl’s Thanksgiving table is a celebration of color, patterns and of course, hand blown glass. She loves to mix up different styles of crockery that she has collected over the years, and give each family member something that well represents their own colorful personality.
Other unique touches consist of rosemary picked from her garden to adorn the
napkins. As well as mixing in some very special keepsakes handed down from her Mom and Grandmother.
“It’s a beautiful way to inspire family discussions and conjure up fond memories.
I feel we have so much to be grateful for – and it all begins with family.”
-Cheryl Saban

No tablescape is complete without a festive centerpiece. Let your florals shine in one of our Fritsy Flora vases available in over 18 colors to match any color scheme you are creating.
And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, let’s not forget every piece of glass you purchase gives $3 to Baby2Baby. Not only does the money go to essential needs like diapers and formula but also meals for families to enjoy together.
From Candle to Cocktails
THREE reasons our candles are the perfect gift:
1. They are individually handblown and hand poured and come with 5 hue-appropriate scents that provide 40+ hours of holiday ambiance.
2. Once these candles have run their course, the Fritsy glass lives on as a traditional drinking glass.
3. Each purchase gives $3 to our to Baby2Baby partner and their efforts to provide basic neccessities to children living in poverty.

FLEETWOOD MULE
1 T Cranberry Puree
.5oz Fresh Lime Juice
4oz Ginger Beer
To make the cranberry puree simply blend a 14oz can of whole cranberry sauce and zest of one orange. To make your mule, combine 1 heaping tablespoon of puree and the lime juice to a shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Add 4oz of Gingerbeer to the tin and swirl to make sure everything is combined. Pour into your new homeblown glass and garnish with sugared (or plain) cranberries.
Give it a healthy kick by swapping your gingerbeer out for a ginger kombucha. Kids not keen on the spiciness of ginger beer? Try making this with lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. Need something harder? Add a shot of your favorite spirit or try using a hard kombucha! To make a pitcher multiply your ingredients by 6 to make a quart of beverage.
