LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Balsam Hill Studio, a brand specializing in hand-blown glass ornaments, opened its first California store in Laguna Beach this week.
The store opened Friday, Nov. 6, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the studio's location on 300 S. Coast Highway.
The company sells handmade, painted glass ornaments made in Europe, but shoppers can expect to find some local touches in store, including 'Welcome to California' signs and California license plates, luggage and half-avocados dangling from ornament strings.
According to Balsam Hill Studio, the ornaments are made by artisans who use traditional glassmaking techniques, each taking up to seven days to complete.
Prices for the ornaments average at $85 and range from $18 to $228.
