July 4th




Are you gearing up for the July 4th holiday?


Red White & Blue everywhere!


Its a West Virginia tradition to visit the Arts n Craft fair near Ripley, WVa. Each year for some 26 years my parents and I go for the day, its great fun to see the new crafts and visit a more rural part of our beautiful state. The Appalachian Glass Co yearly has hands on glass blowing events - take your children - Chip will often allow them to blow glass.


Fiddle music, funnel cakes, square dancing, booths with hand made belts, purses, quilts, photos. One can find most anything at the Arts n Craft Fair.


Each year we buy 6 bags of stone ground cornmeal - freeze 5 for use later and immediately have fried green tomatoes using the stone ground cornmeal.


Visit http://www.blenkoglass.com/ today and purchase red / white and blue tableware to be prepared for the month of July. We use our red - white - blue again in Sept for Labor Day, then use the Red at Christmas and Valentines' Day. When you purchase hand crafted glass you're making a long term investment. The glass you buy today you'll be using to serve your grandchildren 20 years down the road. Blenko Glass handcrafted in West Virginia by West Virginia craftsmen.
