About Blue Ridge Creations

Handmade in the Southeast

Blue Ridge Creations... Some time went into choosing this name. I wanted something that would not limit me in making handcrafted products. I lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains for a long time and have now retired to Georgia.I plan for my North Carolina,Washington and Georgia licensed business to flourish in GA while sharing my creations and dreams, and bringing smiles with quality products. For now that is with handpainted bottle lights and photography.

Company History

Blue Ridge Creations began by accident in 2004. Lots of businesses happen that way. Working for the U.S. National Park Service as a host, recycling was one of the duties. One thing led to another and I was sitting in the forest painting on bottles........tailgating.......showing in juried art festivals. See Upcoming Southeast Events. A thousand lighted bottles later,and many happy customers later, here I am online with Bottle Lights at Blue Ridge Creations,member of "Handmade in America."

What do people "say" about Blue Ridge Creations?

In stores and juried festivals the first thing I see as the masses walk past my booth are big smiles. Whether looking at my handpainted lighted bottles, or my photography, my creations always bring about smiles. Have some fun! Check out Bottle Lights for Sale and see if they make you feel good and smile.
