EASTER HOLIDAY - Add WV GLASS - BLENKO


Blenko Glass Company in Milton, West Virginia is having an EASTER AND INVENTORY CLEARANCE SALE April 1 - April 15th. (304 743 9081).

During this sale there will be special demonstrations of glass making and on
Saturday April 7th - Richard Blenko will be signing your glass purchases from 10-2 (check these hours). On the 7th Blenko Collectors Society members will be on hand upstairs in the museum to sign up new members.

Go early to find the best selection. I'll bet you find the 'perfect' hostess gift, all the items you need for putting together a very special Easter Basket, or if you are like me you can use the clearance sale as a way to stock up on gifts for those never ending Weddings, Birthday, Bar Mitzvahs,, and Graduations. A Touch of Glass (located in Hurricane) can personalize most any BLenko item - adding the names or date of your special occasion.

Easter Holiday is a great time to start new traditions. Add Blenko or West Virginia Glass to your holiday table. Ask your local florist to use BLENKO GLASS as the container for your Holiday floral arrangement . The cost of adding Blenko is modest. Most FTD or other Florist can accommodate such request.
Speaking of great gifts - .EASTER BASKETS - Blenko has a wide selection of glass baskets, we use them in the bath, bedroom, occasional table,.- they hold gift soaps, candies, often times canapes. Consider giving your 'special lady' a glass Easter basket in her favorite color.

Easter Bunnies and Easter Eggs, Fenton Glass, Osburn Glass and Blenko all have a great selection of special 'items' for the holiday. These can be used in conjunction with a handmade WV Crafted Easter Basket (TAMARACK has a large selection of handcrafted wood/woven baskets). These items come with modest price tags. .
The addition of a handcrafted Made In WV item can make any Holiday seem very special. Easter is a great time to start a collection for the 'child' in your life.
Take your child to BLENKO - allow them to see glass being made. To meet the craftsmen who made their 'special item'.
BLENKO items can last a life time, and will provide an opportunity for you and the recipient to share the story of West Virginia Glass. hjh
