Personalizing your Happiness with Simplicity and Tradition
~~History of the "Happy Glass"~~
The Happy Glass is a tradition that was created by my husband's family. The idea behind it was to brighten the day of someone in need or someone who deserved praise. Whether you had a hard day or a rewarding one, to drink from a "special" glass made you feel, well, special! My husband and his sisters each
had their own glass growing up, as did my mother and father-in-law. Each glass was specially hand picked by someone else, because they saw it and thought it would make the recipient "happy." (NOTE: the owner of the Happy Glass may never pick out their own glass- it's tradition!) When one of the children did well on a test, they got to drink from their happy glass during dinner...when one of the parents had a long day, they came home and relaxed with their happy glass. This tradition spread to their friends and family, giving each other these "Happy Glasses" for occasions. Eventually, my father-in-law created a poem that perfectly depicted the sentiment of the Glass. Years later, for my 28th birthday, I received my very own Happy Glass, picked out by my mother-in-law. A year later my husband and I got married. My in-laws hosted the Rehearsal Dinner and, together, we handpicked a Happy Glass for each of the family and wedding party members that attended that night, complete with a poem and explanation. It was definitely special and loved by everyone. I am constantly getting pictures from friends while drinking from their Happy Glass at the end of a long and stressful day. Since so many have reached out to me, I've decided to handcraft Happy Glasses, in all shapes, sizes and colors in order to extend that "magic" from our family and friends to yours.
