tcstoehr said:I would try Ebay.com. Search for "glass art" and you will see hundreds of items in all price ranges. Alot of interesting items hand-made by hobbyists.

LOL! One thing most glass artists hate is being called a hobbyist!
I know this because I have been a glass artist since 1986.

If your winters are extreme, think twice about putting random glass items into your garden.

I have never left my glass art out for winter. It just isn't worth the risk, IMHO.

ebay glass items are usually offerings from "newbie" glass crafters. Most likely not annealed properly.
Yes, I'm an art glass snob. Sorry. It took a lot of years and a very expensive education to get where I am today.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort!
