Hello everyone! I am just sending a reminder about our yard sale tomorrow from 8am - 4pm! We will have tables outside (weather permitting) or if it is raining we will still have sale items inside the store. Some of our most expensive glass will be marked at 50% off! We will have other art supplies, finished glass products, bevels, fusible glass, and some jewerly on sale. Please stop by the studio and see us on this one day only blow out sale!!!!

Also we will be changing our Saturday hours this summer from 9am - 1pm. Please make a note of this. We will let you know when the hours will return to 9am - 5pm. We will change the message on our answering machine and our signage to reflect the new hours. The only advertisement we can't change is our phone book ad which will still have the old hours till 5pm on it. Please ignore and feel free to call the studio at 304-925-2355 or 1-800-813-2355 with your comments. If you need to come later than 1pm on a Saturday - please call and make an appoinment with Amanda Short.

many people in time will realize Rick Blenko was glue for Blenko Glass.
Charisma 100% can't speak to his business abilities but the man was a great PR person and an advocate for WVa.

You have workers who read and comment - I 'd be interested in knowing how they are feeling.

Friday 13th has always been bad luck day for me.
