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

admin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:51:27 +0000

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.

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.

Spring Cleaning for Wind Chimes

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 17:58:44 +0000

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.

Art Glass Wind Chimes make unique gifts

admin — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:39:15 +0000

The search for unique gifts is always a challenging one and never moreso than during the holiday season. Part of the challenge is the delicate balance of the gift being personal, but not too personal. And then there is the question of correct sizing if you try to risk a personal item of clothing. Gift cards, frankly, are just too impersonal except maybe for teens that are just too hard to buy for. Wind chimes can fit the bill as long as they are not the cheap imports that you see at every retail spot these days. Few people dislike windchimes, and unique designs available in artisan glass wind chimes come in themes that friends may already collect and in a variety of color schemes that would complement any indoor decor or garden decor. They illuminate in the light, adding a spark of color as a home accent or as patio decor.
