Last Moments of CHA – Mosaic Mercantile

by

Some would say what I was attempting to do through CHA today was power walking. Starting at one end and walking through as quickly as possible, after all the show was ending early today. But of course I saw glass and had to stop. I was at the Mosaic Mercantile booth and had to stop and talk. I’ve used their products before with great satisfaction and I wanted to see what was new. I even scored a couple packs of samples, some Opus Romano Glass Tiles and Vitreous Glass Mosaic Tile. Good stuff. So I also picked up a catalog so I can order some of their goodies when I open my shop (that’s a whole blog in itself), and I also got a great mosaic how-to pamphlet. It’s a nice step-by-step for doing up a fancy flower pot. Very cool. Check out their FAQ page if you have any mosaic questions. They have all of the answers.
