Maple-m Wind Chime

Maple-m Wind Chime

This week’s featured glass wind chime is the Maple-m wind chime.  This Goose Rocks design is a best seller and even made Oprah’ O-list a few years ago!  Varying shades of polished and tumbled green glass form the canopy of a tree and the wind plate is a the trunk of the tree.  One of the four Tree  wind chimes we offer, this hand-crafted glass wind chime is beautifully unique and a true work of art!  It can be hung in a relatively protected area outdoors or even in a window as a luminous art glass piece.  You can see all of our tree wind chimes and over 90 artisan glass wind chime designs in total at www.thebestofchimes.com.

This week’s Wind Chime in Bloom

Bridgewater Wind Chime

In honor of the arrival of Spring, we will feature either one of our flower wind chimes (which we lovingly refer to as Wind Chimes  in Bloom) or one our Tree Wind Chimes each week for the next several weeks.  This week’s featured product is the  Bridgewater wind chime.  This artfully designed glass wind chime, reminiscent of a floating lotus blossom,  is one of our absolute favorites.  We just hung ours back outside our front door to welcome the other Spring blossoms which are well on their way in our garden beds.  The wind plays this twinkling chime for us to hear outside our door or in the front yard.  The sun illuminates the glass pieces making this a unique and stunning adornment for our front entry.  You can see and hear this and many other art glass wind chimes at our online store at www.TheBestOfChimes.com.

Spring Cleaning for Wind Chimes

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

As you begin Spring cleaning, don’t forget about your wind chimes.  Whether you have metal wind chimes, bamboo chimes and glass wind chimes, most can  be wiped down with a slightly damp cloth.  You could add drop of a mild cleanser like dishwashing liquid, but be careful to wipe off any soap residue.   If you have large windchimes – with tube diameters over, say 3/4″, spider webs or wasp nests may get built inside the tubes over the summer months.  We have found it that the long, thin brushes made to clean lint from under appliances and from dryer vents make a handy tool for cleaning out windchime tubes.  If you are looking to add to your windchimes collection check out www.TheBestOfChimes.com (more…)
