[2] Encouraged by the demand from her friends, Rhodes hired local glassblowers in 1998 to produce more glassybaby, and began selling them out of her garage.

[4] In September 2005, Rhodes appeared on Martha Stewart's television show, which led to a significant increase in sales.

[8] Two years later, the company opened additional locations in Seattle’s University District,[9] Bellevue,[10] and New York City.

[18] Among the supported charities are the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, University of Washington Medical Center, Gilda's Club New York City, Memorial Sloan-Kettering, The Humane Society of the United States, and Conservation International.

[20] Every non-profit organization that receives donations from glassybaby is focused on either helping the healing of humans, animals, or the environment.

The process of creating a glassybaby involves three different furnaces and different steps called gathering, trimming, stamping, and annealing.

[22][23]  To create one single glassybaby three to six different glassblowers are required, and the process takes 15 minutes (not including cooling).

glassybaby's main slogan is "one of a kindness" which markets that because votives and drinkware are handmade, no two of their products are alike.
