SEASONAL COLLECTABLE TREASURES TO GIVE OR KEEP 

A miniature world to spark nostalgia and glee and share with your friends and family

I firmly believe that all grown ups can recapture the childhood joy you felt when you were given something small, precious and unexpected. Giving or receiving a piece of my tiny glass stuff can bring back those magical moments. Imagine the squeals of delight as a well-loved Christmas decoration is carefully unboxed each year or the latest tiny glass addition to your collection is introduced to the next generation of glee-seekers.

Whether it’s a miniature picture gallery, freestanding minis, tiny plant decorations, seasonal hanging decorations or cute jewellery, little by little you’ll be building your very own Family Treasure Chest – packed with tiny glass memories to share.

MEET The Maker of Tiny Glass Stuff

Hello I’m Amanda and I’m the Maker of Tiny Glass Stuff.

I’m on a mission to take the traditional art of making little glass animals and reinvent it for 21st century.

When I’m not melting glass here in my Red Shed in Coventry, I’m travelling around the UK to share the tiny glass fun with you all at craft fairs, open studios and exhibitions.

How the Great Glass Advent Calendar was born

In November 2016, I had a last-minute present idea for my two young nephews. I came up with 24 tiny glass goodies, dragooned my elderly dad into painting a shop-bought advent calendar, and posted this rather heavy thing to North Wales in the nick of time. At the same time, I unveiled each piece daily on Instagram and Facebook and was surprised at the brilliant reception all around. It’s now become an annual institution, with ideas for new pieces carefully hoarded until I can surprise you during the festive season.

Comments like these make my day:

It’s beautiful! I need to order 2 of everything Christmassey for my tree!

Elaine

I was so excited that I gave them to the girls! They LOVE them!   All your tiny creations spreading happiness…

Chloe

I cried over the glass dangles…blown away with how details they are. I love them!
