GREAT IDEA
I USE MY HATS AS WINE COOLERS
AND HAVE A MIS SHAPED ONE I USE ON THE PROCH WITH PLANTS GROWING SEEING THE ROOT SYSTEM MAKES FOR INTERESTING CONVERSATION.
BLENKO GLASS WHEN I LIVED IN NEW MEXICO I BOUGHT THE HAT AT A MAJOR STORE FOR UNDER 25$ TO USE AS WINE HOLDER. THE SECOND ONE I BOUGHT ON EBAY FOR MORE THAN $50, THE MIS SHAPED ONE I BOUGHT ON EBAY ALSO GOT RIPPED OFF. PRICES CONTINUE TO GO UP. YOU NEWBIES SHOULD BUY NOW.

Susan; Thanks for the compliment. I bought the Top Hat for this purpose at the factory in August. They also had Cowboy hats. These I have also sold as wine bottle holders with glass ice cubes. Call the gift shop and see if they can't help you out. Both items are listed on the BLENKO website for $120.00 each. The Granddaughter is the daughter I never had. Her parents both worked nights until recently so I about raised her and yes she is very spoiled by her Buntzie. Larry from TX

Bridgett, Lewisdvdphd and Hillary; Thanks so much for the kind words. I must be getting sentimental in my mature years, reading the kind words from the three of you this morning has choked me up and about reduced me to tears. That doesn't happen often to this grumpy old man. Thank You all. I will try to live up to the image you have of me. I wish you all a very Merry Blenko Christmas. larry from TX
