A visit to the Glass Ranch in Escondido is MY idea of Black Friday.

The Glass Ranch in Escondido CA

And you still have time to enjoy it, too.

Glass creation at the Glass Ranch in Escondido CA Their semi-annual open house with glass blowing demonstrations (VIDEO LINK to my vid on YouTube), beautiful glass creations (glasses, jewelry, bowls, vases, decorative items), and strolling through their magnificent gardens is a wonderful way to shop in a venue I suspect few have experienced.

Talented glass blowers Garry Cohen and Cherrie LaPorte are a delight and you will enjoy chatting with them about their love of glass blowing.

The open house continues for 2 more days

TODAY, Saturday November 27^th, from 11 until 4
and then again on Sunday from 11 until 4. Don't miss this opportunity to experience an artistic venue that will enthrall you.

The Glass Ranch is located at 20307 Beech Lane just off Del Dios Highway in Escondido, a stone's throw from Lake Hodges.

The Glass Ranch owners' contemporary home and gardens on the hill surrounded by mountains in view of Lake Hodges makes the visit even more special.

Enjoy the photos AND a virtual walk through their gardens below.

Jeff, now this is a place I would really enjoy! As usual a great Localism post highlighting The Glass Ranch. Much more fun than the holiday shopping madness currently running riot everywhere else!

Jeff,

I always seem to gravitate toward glass blowers. Fascinating, but hot even being ten feet away. Man that looks dangerous.

Russell - yep, it's a pretty cool place and much more interesting than the malls.

Steven - it was pretty impressive. He made it looks fairly easy but I know that is NOT the case.

Rebecca - it's a fascinating art, isn't it?
