Hi! I'm Roxy, and I've been elected by my co-workers/family to tell you about us. Wind chime making has been a way of life for my family long before I ever showed up on the scene. My parents, Ted & Jean, started making chimes back in 1970. How did they ever come up with this crazy idea? They saw some jewelry made from melted down medicine bottles and Jean decided that she just had to learn how to melt down bottles. If you met my mother you’d understand that once she focuses on something it’s impossible to get her to relent until you’ve figured out how to do what she wants. So Ted ruined some kiln shelves and finally figured out how to make it work. From there it was just a matter of dumpster diving to get the goods (don’t worry firing the glass up to 1500 degrees burns off all the germs- promise) and making lots of wind chimes. Back when they first got started they lived in central Florida and had their first two daughters, Donna & Kim. This has always been a family business, and as soon as Donna & Kim could reach the bottle tub, mom & dad had them cleaning those dumpster bottles. Needless to say we’ve all learned about broken glass from a very early age.
