Announcement    IMPORTANT! I will be taking the week of June 1-7 off from Mind + Mineral. You will still be able to order items during this time, but all items ordered between now (May 18) and June 7th will be shipped one week later than their listed processing time. If an item is listed to ship in 1-2 weeks, expect it instead in 2-3 weeks. Instead of 1-3 days, expect 8-10 days. Thank you for keeping me so busy, I look forward to coming back and sending you lots of goodies :)

*COVID-19 UPDATE: Yes! At this time I am still fulfilling orders and my shipping timelines are still on track, though I am shipping closer to the end of the timeframe (If a listing says "1-2 weeks" it will likely take the full two weeks). I'd love to fill your isolation station with art and rainbows <3

Please understand with the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation, shipping timelines *are* subject to change. If there are delays, I will contact you to let you know.

Many of these items are made-to-order with great care by my own hands. Please note that because of the intensive nature of stained glass, production times are longer than some other crafts. You can find the production time for individual listings in their "Shipping & Policies" section :)
Please contact me if you have any questions, I'm always happy to chat.

XO -Brooke

Mind + Mineral

I'm Brooke Dearborn Huston, the mind (and the mineral?) behind Mind + Mineral stained glass. I've been designing and creating stained glass art since 2015, when I learned the craft as a graduation gift to myself. I have a Bachelor's Degree which I simultaneously don't use and also use every moment of every day :)

My studio is in a sun-filled room of my old Folk Victorian home in Iowa City, IA. Two cats (Steak and Eggs) and the love of my life (Jake) share the home with me. When not in the studio, I'm making a mess in the kitchen, digging in my vegetable garden, or playing in my pile of craft supplies. I also love a good cup of coffee and a cold glass of cheap beer.

My glass art is inspired largely by the natural and supernatural worlds. Each piece takes hours to create, which offers me time to meditate on its meaning to me while also focusing on each little step--And there are many! steps! to focus on. Despite five years of near daily practice, there is still plenty of room left to grow and learn and improve in my art. I absolutely love that it is so challenging.

I adore sharing my art and its practice with you. To send my little beacons of light out to homes across the country is such a dreamy way to spend my life. Thank you for helping make that happen!

Hey there! Thank you for stopping by!

All items listed are handmade in Iowa City, IA by me.

Please note the production times listed in each item's shipping section. Some items may take up to a month to be brought to life. Stained glass is not a fast craft but it is worth the wait :)

Returns and exchange details
First and foremost, I just want my customers to be happy! If you are not happy with your M+M product, please let me know and we will work together to amend that.

Insurance is included standard with all shipping costs, thus **I will not assume responsibility for damaged incurred during shipping**. Be sure to save your packaging, receipt, and all pieces of the damaged item. For a walk-through of the insurance claim process, follow through to this link:

For information on how to file a claim through USPS, please visit:
http://pe.usps.gov/text/dmm300/609.htm#1098416

For special cases of refund or replacement, photos of the damaged/incorrect item are required before I take any action. If a refund is deemed necessary, a full refund of the item's cost will be sent but shipping fees will not be refunded. If any item is returned for any reason, customer is responsible for return shipping costs.
Payment
Shoppers can pay with PayPal or Etsy's direct checkout using credit cards.
Shipping
Packages will be shipped within their listed time-frame after payment is received, generally 1-3 weeks. I ship via USPS's First Class or Priority Mail and will let you know when your package is on its way with its corresponding tracking number. Due to the fragile nature of the product, insurance is included in all shipping. If you'd prefer to pay less for shipping without insurance, please let me know. If you choose to forgo insurance, I assume no responsibility for damages incurred while shipping.

I take the utmost care in packaging your items, making sure that even the strongest of mailpersons cannot throw the package hard enough to break your item. Because glass requires so much packaging to keep safe, I use recycled packing materials whenever I can. It may not always be pretty but it will always be safe!

Rush orders may be possible, please contact me prior to ordering if you need an item faster than the listed production time. Rush fees range between $10-$50 per item depending on the item and time allowed.

I currently ship exclusively to the United States. If you live outside of the United States and are interested in a product, please message me directly.
Additional policies and FAQs
I'm open to custom orders, wholesale, and consignment! I love making things for you.
