Davis Blanchard has created his best-ever hand-tuned wind chime: Westminster Quarters

Monday, April 19th, 2010

The Westminster Quarters Wind Chime designed and hand-tuned by artist Davis Blanchard is, in my humble opinion, his best ever tuning from among his beautifully hand tuned wind chime collection.  As with his entire collection, the durable steel wind chime is made with 8 tubes rather than the more traditional 4-6 found in other tuned windchimes, giving it an incredibly full sound.  Click here to hear Westminster Quarters .  For anyone who loves musical wind chimes, this is an exceptional one to consider.  It would also make a wonderful Mother’s Day gift.  Mom would enjoy the serenade from this wind chime for years to come!  It is currently sale-priced at www.thebestofchimes.com.

As the first snow billows down from the clouds in our town, I truly feel like I am in a winter wonderland.  This of course reminds me of one of our favorite wind chimes, Winter Wonder by Davis Blanchard.  Being a musician himself, Davis hand tunes all of his windchimes to play beautiful melodic sounds with the wind.  And this exquisitely tuned wind chime is no exception.  It rings in this festive season with style – and hand crafted wind chimes of this quality make wonderful and lasting holiday gifts or unique gifts for any occasion!

Welcome in autumn colors with this beautiful glass wind chime.   Reminiscent of autumn leaves, this glass chime captures the light, glowing in reds, oranges and yellows, while it captures the autumn winds with a twinkling of glass.   The ‘Baxter’  leaf design wind chime comes in this and two other color schemes as well. The other two are made up of shades of green glass reminiscent of spring leaves and one in shades of blue for those who like the leaf design, but prefer a touch of blue to light up their patio decor.

The “best of” the winter landscape in our creekside back yard. As the time comes to take down all the Christmas decorations and lights I always start to get the winter blahs- missing so much of the color and foliage in our landscape. Then, just for a day, Mother Nature treats us to this beautiful display of winter wonderland. My husband, being a great photographer captured this image to remind us that sometimes the winter landscape is anything but blah.

Nature-inspired Holiday Joy: The Sounds of Windchimes

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

As the holidays wind down, I reflect on my favorite memories this year. When we were at my sister’s home for a family gathering on Christmas Day, fireworks began to go off from a nearby neighbor’s yard. (they live out of the city limits, the perfect setting for some folks who like to shoot off fireworks as part of their Christmas celebration) My son, 4 years old, called everyone to rush outside to see the show. It was short-lived, but as it ended we experienced the real treat. A quiet breeze set off a soft, melodious chorus of windchimes which are hung along the porch and among the trees in my sister’s back yard. My son has always been attracted to her windchime collection. The first time he noticed them, when he was about 2, and ever since then, he enjoys going from one to the next to “make music” until he has played every one! That night, though, stopped us just to listen and enjoy the peaceful music coming from all around us. That moment of peace and harmony shared with my little guy was one of the greatest gifts of the season. His joy in the music of windchimes continues to inspire me.

A Musical Mobile in a Child’s Room – Bringing the Outside In

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Another inspiration born of childlike wonder….When my preschooler saw this bright colored spiral glass wind chime, he insisted on having it in his room. I thought it would be a passing fancy, but not so. He regularly runs over to open and close the closet door near the hanging chime to create enough breeze to have it play its twinkling music. Just today, he stood up on his bed again, reached for it and beamed at the musical sounds it created as he ran waved his hand through it. It is like his own little musical mobile. Isn’t it wonderful to be reminded of the joy that can be derived from such a simple pleasure?
