You may have seen these cute wine glass coasters around, but did you know that Fran Cuykendall of Waxhaw, NC sells them at Provisions in Waxhaw? Cuykendall makes and sells these unique and practical “Glass Slippers” that fits over the bottom of a wine glass to serve as a coaster and a marker since each one in a set is different. She started making them three years ago when her sister introduced her to the idea. She then tweaked the design and started making them for friends. “Lisa Vigil and Ken Posko, owners of Provisions Waxhaw, are my next door neighbors and I gifted them a set of Glass Slippers at a Christmas party. When I began selling canvas tote bags at Provisions, Lisa mentioned selling the coasters too. It was perfect timing before the holidays. They’ve been very well received.”

Since Fran Cuykendall is retired, she is able to keep up with producing enough coasters and tote bags to sell at Provisions. She came up with the name “Glass Slipper” during a brainstorming session with her husband and sister. When they both came up with the same idea, she knew it was meant to be! And because Cuykendall makes all of the coasters herself, it is easy to place a custom order to get just what you want!
