Fabulous Finds: Juliska's "Amalia" Champagne Flutes!
"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort." - Jane Austen
If you're looking to add a little panache to your next holiday soirée, have I got a Fabulous Find for you! I recently discovered Juliska's "Amalia" Champagne flutes and was instantly smitten by this line of exquisite, handmade stemware that can make drinking bubbly feel even more special (yes, it is possible!).These stunningly statuesque flutes are made of mouth blown, lead-free glass by passionate, creative artisans in the hills outside Prague. As such, no two glasses are identical which celebrates the craftsmanship at the heart of the Juliska brand. Founded in 2001 by dynamic husband and wife team Capucine and David Gooding, Juliska has grown from an assortment of 40 mouth-blown Bohemian glasses, to hundreds of beautiful items in over a dozen different categories for the table and home. The couple draws inspiration from their two-pronged manifesto: L'Amour and Savoir Vivre, or love and the art of living well. They elaborate, "We believe in savoring the moment, loving your life, being bold, making your own rules and always finding reasons to celebrate!" I don't know about you but I'll toast to that!The Amalia flutes come in three different styles and sizes, the Amalia flute ($74), the Amalia Tulip flute ($68), and the Amalia Grande flute ($98). Each glass features a whimsical thread of twisted glass gracefully tracing its way up the bowl or stem of the glass, perfectly mimicking Champagne's hallmark bubbles (to see them in action, please click here). These glamorous glasses will make the perfect holiday gift for the Champagne lover in your life and are also perfect for ringing in the New Year! South Florida residents can find the Amalia flutes at Linen Closet, my favorite boutique in downtown Delray Beach, otherwise they are available on Juliska.com.
