Everblooming Glass Flowers

Edmonds local Sandy Dahlberg is a true artist and gardener at heart. She loves her garden and she hates to see the beautiful flowers slowly wilt away each fall. In order to enjoy her garden all year long she came up with the idea of Everblooming glass flowers. Everblooming glass flowers are constructed of recycled and vintage glass products that are attached to artistic steel hinged stems, which are hand crafted by Sandy’s husband Dale Dahlberg. What is very unique about Sandy’s glass flowers is the ability for the flowers to be converted into bird feeders or trays quite easily. These are extremely popular and for good reason. Come check out the wide variety.
