Focus On... YAVA G l a s s!

I used to work twenty steps from Harry & David, purveyors of Moose Munch, delicious pears, and Boylan's Ginger Ale. On every lunch break, I would walk over and buy a Boylan's. At some point, they told me they could sell me a case at a discount and I could even leave it in their cooler there. And so, on every lunch break, I would walk over and grab one of my already purchased Boylan's. When I stopped working at the store, I missed those green bottles of deliciousness. Fast forward a few years and I see a flash of green bottle on my etsy home page. After investigating, I found myself in the etsy shop of YAVA G l a s s, run by a delightful husband and wife team who make the coolest glassware. Can't you imagine these goodies peeking out from inside your glass-fronted cabinets?
