each ‘second act’ glassybaby gets its unique beautiful swirl from fragments of 43 other glassybaby colors, including favorites like ‘gratitude,’ ‘express yourself,’ and ‘skinny dip.’ each of these colors behaves differently, in the furnace, and when they’re combined in a ‘second act,’ we discover a beauty that’s seasoned, and yet brand-new.
The glassybaby foundation receives a donation from each glassybaby purchase to provide hope and healing. Learn More
