Our mail often contains the question - 'where to buy BLENKO'? My first choice is always the BLENKO Glass Company Visitors' Center, located in Milton, WVa.. The selection is always unique and constantly changing - if you see something you like 'buy it' it won't be there next week. Lots of people like to shop on line -for those folks, BLenko Glass Company has an online order form. If you don't find what you want at Blenko then I recommend two other places. (DK COLLECTIBLES- an online store ran by a couple from the Montgomery area - I will try to get more information and do a post about this source of BLENKO). My other recommendation is Dixie's. Dixie's in Texas has one of the largest collection of Blenko for sale. Dixie's has many one of a kind items. I ask Billy one of the owners at Dixie's for a brief description of their involvement with Blenko. I am attaching his replay and several photos.

I couldn't find this store on ebay
can you provide more information?
awesome photos
D and K Collectibles as far as I know is mainly an eBay entity. If you search for dandkcollectibles under sellers on eBay you will see a large selection of vintage and new Blenko. I might add these folks know their stuff and their word is as good as gold.
Here in Texas we already had a large Blenko collectors community. Billy and all the folks at Dixie's are making new collectors on a daily basis. I've heard they are one of the top sellers, if not the top seller of Blenko glass. We love Blenko Glass here in Texas!

Tim,
Thank you for additonal information.
Texas does indeed LOVE BLENKO.
It is one of my long term goals to get to Texas and become a part of that group. . .I only wish we had such a group in WVa.
Blenko is very lucky to have such strong supporters!
Thank you
