In my hunt for beachtown boutiques, I came across Mary Tantillo’s shop in LBI, NJ called Swell Colors Glass Studio. Her stained glass is amazing and I specifically love the idea she had for “100 Waves of Summer.” She made 100 different stained glass windows for each day of the summer… and a [...]
What is normally a beautiful fall festival turned into a sloppy cold mess because of the rain and wind …BUT the silver lining is that I saw some great old friends and got the AliRay Designs name out there! Every little bit helps!
