glassybaby seconds sale

Yes, we are the crazy people waiting in line for the glassybaby seconds sale!!

It's in a new venue this year- their warehouse. Because it's a larger space we're not sure what to expect, so we came earlier.

Stay tuned!

(Update at 10:30am)

Wow. Total bust. We waited in line for two hours, and just when we got into the building, they were sold out (10:30am). What a difference from last year. Leaving empty handed. :(


Here's what the scene looked like when we finally got in. Empty tables, with swarms of people still in there. At this point, the last people who had grabbed seconds glassybaby were waiting in line - I hear the line took about an hour to get through.

(update - the next day)

Well, it was a bummer, but there you go. Understandable that they could run out, as these are seconds, but just a surprise to everyone that they sold out so quickly. As far as I know, they've never sold out before mid-afternoon. The two times I have been (last year) there were still plenty (and no line) when I arrived at 10:00, and another time, 11:00am. This was the earliest I've been, the longest I think I've ever waited in any line, and the only time I've waited in a line to be disappointed by not having them be sold out.

glassybaby handed out coupons to everyone in line for 10% off any regular priced glassybaby (not the Seakhawks, or $75 exotic glassybaby) glassybaby at any of their Seattle stores. This was pretty generous of them, as really, they didn't *need* to offer a discount on their regular merchandise, but as they never have sales, it was much appreciated! Paula, Gina and I were all a little stunned to be leaving empty handed, so we made our way to the Bellevue store for a little retail therapy. This unexpected/extended part of our day turned out to be very fun! I admit, I thought I'd buy one, then I found one that looked really nice with it, then (wouldn't you know) I found yet another one that seemed to complete the set.

My name is Trina, and I'm a glassybaby-holic.

I know, I know.

But, they're so pretty!!

What did I end up buying:

I bought a very pretty Bedford Brown.

Then, I discovered the beautiful Breath.

Then, I realized I needed a nice cream (which, shockingly, I don't have!) and bought Lamb.


My three new glassybaby are on the left and center. I paired them with two glassybaby that I bought as seconds last June. Very calming and pretty together, aren't they?


The set, all lit up and glowing - nice way to end the day
