Hello all! It’s been another pleasant week in Carlsbad Village and things are feeling more positive every day. We at the Shoppe have been helping our great clients with their repairs, replacements, and other glass and mirror needs. One we see many of is our Crystal Rim Chip Repair service. This is the repair for glasses and other glass items that have a chip on the rim or base. We can polish just past the chip and the smooth the rim to match. Now there is no longer a sharp chip and the item is useable again!

PS: The first Carlsbad Makers Market of the year is tomorrow! This is a great event that features local artisans and crafters with unique items. Great Mothers Day and Easter gift items. They are the first Saturdays of March, April, May, and June. 9am to 4pm at St. Michaels by-the-Sea Episcopal Church; 2775 Carlsbad Blvd., Carlsbad, CA 92008

We have mentioned a lot about the crystal and glass repairs we have been doing, but it’s worth mentioning how many of these items are shipped to us to be repaired! We have clients from many different states that find out what we do and send us the item for further review and repair. While we cannot manufacture glass for these repairs, we have a UV curing adhesive to put broken pieces back together. It dries clear and does not yellow while helping soften the look of the cracks. In the case of chipped rims and bases, we sand and smooth just past the chip leaving a smooth surface. Clients can email (GlassAndMirror@iCloud.com) or text [(760)390-2273] us photos of their broken items and we can give them an estimate on the repair cost and if it can be done! We’re glad we can help our clients and they are finding us from across the country.

We are still keeping with the current protocol and Carlsbad itself has an online resource for what is open and what requirements there are during Covid-19. Check it out here: https://www.carlsbadca.gov/services/depts/fire/emergency/coronavirus.asp

Stay safe (and COOL!) and have a wonderful weekend!
