No way! I *love* them! And I'm nowhere near Miami or my retirement years.

I am, however, a child of the 80s. Hm.

they remind me of those horrible 'crystal' blocks with the laser produced images inside of them

Hmm...not for me. Plus, to keep flowers fresh you'd have to add water like every 30 minutes or something.

Cute, but the price, ugh.

You could buy some glass block at Home Depot (the kind used for windows. They'll hold a lot of water, too. If you must have butterflies or leaves on them, you could paint or use an etching kit.

There..........I saved someone $100! LOL

Why, oh why, did he have to put in those patterns! I can appreciate where he was going but the darn patterns snatch bad design from the jaws of good design.
