For all you trying to win or buy Lolita Love My Martini Products, good news! You do not have to bid on eBay at all, many Hallmark Crown stores carry the line as does many on line stores. Not to mention ALL the local shops and stores right in your area. We suggest you SEE this line before you buy, it is not all that in person. We can see what's hand painted and what's a stuck on decal and just glazed over, many we have seen for display only ; are already showing serious signs of wear.

Santa Barbra Ceramics actually produces this line and they have a full web site with every Lolita glass listed! The FULL line complete with fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas can be found there.  You can even sign up for wholesale buys! Great savings for the collectors of this line. Regular prices for the glasses are $23.00 period. Want to find retired ones? Then type in retired lolita martini glass and on the web-MANY can be found!  Santa Barbra's web  site is sbcdesigns.

You can also keep watch on Lolita Designs web site full of interesting news and links to view interviews and more. BIG news on Tracy Yancey! She got divorced and on her broad cast-yes you can watch it-she is pregnant! Now her name is Tracey Haley and she will net over 56 million this year. So much for her hand painting ALL of them, but you can see her on the web site lolitadesigns.

For the people who do collect this line they are painted in China-not by American artists.  Pennies to have them mass produced overseas and top American dollar to sell them here. At first she had many local artists in Marietta Georgia , like us work for her and we hand painted many top sellers. We worked for her over two years, then she cut the deal with Santa Barbra and we were out. Did we know about this-no. So much for loyality on her American based artists that helped her lauch her line.

We think it's only fair to tell people that eBay is NOT the only place to find Lolita. Many of the so called retired glasses in fact are not. The Halloween upside down Witch glass will be available THIS year. As we said and now you can see this glass DID come back, we told you so! For the buyers that paid big bucks-don't you feel silly?

This is a collectable line, and we also think eBay has created an un fair playing field by allowing endless listings for Lolita and shutting out true American made hand painted glassware.

Many artists are NOT able to sell their glass because over 355 listings are only for Lolita. Buyers just don't want to sort through the entire section! We are just one of the many that do not list any more because of this over sight. Frankly if one is NOT looking for Lolita, they haven't much selection at all! We are very weary of this and thought many people would be like us, TIRED of the same glasses listed over and over from big sellers.

If you wish to let your voice be heard about this contact eBay and perhaps enough people will indeed turn this back into an interesting catagory as it once was with a fair amount of all kinds of martini glasses. We expect this guide to thumbs down in helpful votes. Why? The big sellers will not like it and we will be surprised if eBay allows this to be seen at all. We see eBay did run this but look at what they have shown on the page-more Lolita listings.  Do you see any handpainted by American artists glassware listed ONLY? Of course not.

Vote yes to this guide and let eBay know, Lolita needs to be in a NEW catagory for collectable glassware! Let the big sellers compete against each other there and not hog the entire section with ONLY their listings!

And lastly don't be silly and spend hundreds on a auction when ten to to one that glass can be found elsewhere! We are agast when we see/hear of someone paying serious high dollars for A single glass, mass produced in China!

As per our American right for free speach, this is our opinion, you are free to make your own.

It's right up there with the fleecing of America, speak up for American made products!
