"new to area so was excited to find someplace close to buy glass was in the shop helping a friend buy some glass for his 1st project ive been doing stained glass over 20yrs ive lived in many different places small town to large cities every glass shop im been to you could by scrape glass by the pound you can take a box an pick an fill but not at this shop we picked out 4 full sheets an now need a few pops of color so was looking through the two boxes of scraps box A an box B the lady after watching us pick prices glass from box “A” that had lots mixed colors she came to say we cant pick our own out she would pick out what we could buy an she would fill box for us at .60cent a pound so we said we would buy 1lbs she said well she only sales full boxes so we said ok then she filled box with glass from box “b” lots of brown tank n blah glass then did 6lbs an none of the glass worked with our project so we skipped we still bought 4 full sheets but she definitely lost a would be regular customer she told us was basically she needed to make every dollar she can so profit before customer service this is one reason i dont like an cant support “local small business” having a regular customer is not as important than making $$$ i make large scale stained glass art would easily spend 500$ n up on glass but her pettiness over scrape glass lost her regular $$$ thankfully hobby lobby an a another glass shop i find will now get my business"

"There's a lot to look at and see! I always loved stained glass and they have a great amount of supplies and projects to buy. A very pretty shop."

"We stayed at the Tiffany Inn in Alton for a weekend getaway. It was absolutely the cleanest accomodations we have ever had. We stayed in the Monet Room and it was beautifully decorated and spacious. The owner, Lynne, was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast she prepared for us each morning was delicious and plentiful. We truly enjoyed getting to know her and look forward to our next stay there. Art & Melita Williams"

"My favorite place in Alton! I love to stop in for a glass of wine or a cup of hot tea. A cozy comfortable shop and always friendly people to chat with. Plus the place is eye candy! Beautiful hand made glass and antiques. They offer classes that are really fun and inexpensive. Hope to see you there!"
