Glass Swan

312 - Something a little different for today. This little glass swan is one of a set of varying sizes and was a gift to my wife from some of her relatives in the Ukraine who work in the glass industry.

My wife was able to visit the Ukraine in 2010 and meet many of her relatives for the first time, and to see the places where her dad grew up before World War 2.
