Fine Living,Recipes & More with Patty Gironda the host of Home At Last

I recently did some custom work through my Etsy shop for Patty Gironda. She is the host of the Atlanta based show, Home At Last! . Patty was in the process of adding a line of wine corks made from turned wood with fused glass and vintage Lucite cabochons. I had the pleasure of creating fused glass cabochons for her new line. What an exciting project to work on.

Since the show is Atlanta based, we can't catch it here in the Big D but the website now has some great features including printable recipes and streaming episodes ! Yeah,yeah....now I can catch the talented Patty on my computer!

Home At Last! offers other shopping experiences for fine living like the Robust Morning Blend Coffee. Mmm. There is nothing like waking up to the smell of a fresh pot of "special" brewed coffee! I'm on the last of my Columbian that my brother-in-law brought back from his S. America trip so I will let you be checking out the special blend soon!

Make sure to check Home At Last! often for stories, streaming shows and more beautiful products from around the world and don't be shy.....tell your friends and family too!
