Simon Pearce on the Brandywine

On New Years Eve I went to Simon Pearce in West Chester, PA. As of January 12th the glass blowing workshop and restaurant have closed. The retail store is open until February 13th and offering a 30% discount on certain items.

There was a glass blowing workshop to the left as soon as we entered the facility.

After checking out the glass blowing we headed upstairs to the retail store.

There were lots of inspiring tablescapes.

Each piece of stemware is a true work of art.

Mrs. B found a new lamp.

There were shelves of Seconds...I couldn't find any imperfections.

I loved the horn collection.

Across from the store was the Restaurant on the Brandywine River. The view of the snow banked river was breathtaking and made me want to order some serious comfort food.

Cauliflower Gratin with gruyere & ham, Mushroom Soup, and a homemade Pomegranate Soda. It was fun to see everything that was sold in the store being put to use in the restaurant. I would hate to break one of those glasses!

Special thanks to a pregnant Mrs. B for driving and suggesting we make the stop on our way to Philadelphia. I am glad we got to go before the location closed! xx
