At the time we discovered Love Letters, the sculptural glass blocks were being created and produced by renowned artist and sculptor Edward Merritt and were being sold in a not for profit retail store in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
Sallie approached Edward Merritt to see if he would be interested in selling the Love Letters line to her and Patrick since Edwards artistic talents had led him in a different artistic direction. Ed decided he liked our plan and chose us as the right buyers for Love Letters. Part of the reason was our mission, which we will get to later in this blog.
Since Love Letters could lead people to believe we only sold items related to love we realized you could express yourself, hence the name of our company became Expressions in Glass LLC. We feel that name truly embodies the philosophy behind our product line; express yourself and express what you love with our artisan made product line.
As you may or may not know our product line consists of numbers, letters, symbols, emoji’s etc. we felt that the possibilities for what you could do with Expressions in Glass was infinite. We wanted the name to reflect the endless possibilities for our products. With our letters you can spell things like a baby’s name or anyone’s name really, even your pet’s name. You can get letters for anyone’s initials, your street address or use our numbers for tabletop décor or your street number. Oh and you can even use our numbers for special occasion dates like birthdays, anniversaries, sobriety recognition and engagements or weddings.
Our Expressions in Glass LLC mission is to remain deeply rooted in our local community as well as to eventually donate a portion of our profits to local and national charities.
On a more personal note, Patrick and Sallie both have a strong religious background and believe in honoring God and tithing.
Thank you for reading our blog and stopping by..
