Look for scrap glass

Colored or clear, stained glass variety.

Pieces don't have to be big; they are for an ongoing project of my eldests.

I'd happily pay reasonable fees - and shipping if you live in a different part of the state.

      Sadly, that store is now gone. At least it was a month ago when we went down that way.

        really? I walk by it a lot and didn't notice any signs to show it was going out of business.

        strange, i was just in there last month talking to them.

        Was it this one:

          Yeah - right near the Office Max or Depot or what have you there, right? Last time I passed it, the place was empty, signs were gone. But I'll drive down there tomorrow and check - it's not too far from me, and one of many places to hit tomorrow.

            No, it's much further up. I believe it's between 36th and 37th. on the north side of the street. The address is 3617 Ingersoll Ave . Here is a picture of it:

              Well, I'll go look tomorrow.

              Thanks.

                  Nope -they were open - and early too. I think I missed it because the tree hides their sign. the stained glass place further down the road is closed though.

                  Got two boxes for $20 - and their idea of scrap could supply someone else's full project. Eldest is sorting through it as I type!

                    yeah, it was pretty amazing when I looked at it too. They are a very respected business so do some pretty big jobs. Check out their website sometime, their work is stunning.
