OH not another Blenko sale?

line?
I think not.

This is an old photo. I was in the warehouse and the VC on Wednesday (March 9). The VC was full of glass including a lot of ruby. The warehouse was not full but had more glass than I have seen in recent years

Hi! Reporting back from Blenko! I wanted to thank the owner of heart of glass blog for updating me about this event! :)

It was defiantly worth the 8 hour drive! Unfortunately, I forgot my camera!

There was a lot of glass in the warehouse! For those of you who are new to this event they have first editions and second editions.

Second addition Ruby water bottles were only 10 dollars! They have a lot of other color water bottles to choose from as well!

The warehouse and gift shop also had some orange (dreamsicle)pieces!

In the gift shop they also had a few desert green glass items. The girl at the gift shop told me they were slowly bringing back desert green!

I also wanted to add I didn't see any of the 2011 cobalt swril pieces in the warehouse. They had one vase left in the gift shop that was $50 dollars.

If you are looking for a certain piece leave a comment and I will TRY to tell you if they have it available or not. :)

If you do visit remember to say "hi" to the warehouse kitty named Kit! She was following me around :)

Dear Mountain Rita,

Hi! That is wonderful your taking your camera with you! I hope you find those special pieces of glass your looking for!

I just started collecting glass about a couple years ago.

I feel blessed to have found this blog because like you say it's a wealth of information! It would be great if Blenko had a link to this blog!

Take care,

Aly
