Please tell everyone Blenko has special items on sale only for the PUMPKIN FESTIVAL in Milton.
Last year I bought a pumpkin with a 3 inch stem.
The men at Blenko are allowed to be creative for the items sold during the Festival.

The only glass blower making the long creative stems on the pumpkins is Brenda. Her stems are amazing! She is the only woman glass blower there who is rocking the stems! The me are making the more conservative stems that look like the stems in the catalog. Ask for Brenda's work. She's amazing, a real creative eye for glass blowing.

If possible will you post current photos of Blenko items for Halloween.
I d like things not in catalog
and I'm willing to pay more than the VC prices.
HELP!
Not everyone can get to Blenko weekly or monthly.

SOMETHING NEW FOR THIS HOLIDAY WOULD BE GOOD.

I think Brenda is not a blower but a new person
and the long stems have been around since the 90s
sorry to burst your bubble.
I am certain Brenda is good and you are correct about her but the stems pre date her by a good 15 years.
Hillary can you tell us facts about this woman working in glass making at Blenko?
Did she come with experience? If not then I feel certain she is a stick up or carry in
not a creator of glass.
