Valentine's Day Gift

Still looking for the Perfect
Valentine's Day Gift ?
Let me suggest BLENKO GLASS http://www.blenkoglass.com/ Don Lemley, Antique Glass Manager and Artist in Residence at Blenko Glass designed and produced the DOOR PANEL (photo) . A great Valentine's Day gift would be a gift certificate for a window, door, or a stain glass class. All this can be obtained by phoning Don Lemley (304 743 9081) with your charge card. It's not too late - it would be months before your window or door could be completed - as you would want to be involved in choosing design, colors etc....but the anticipation and waiting only increases the pleasure when the process is completed.
My parents have taken Don Lemley's glass classes both have produced small glass panel which are in my kitchen windows...THINK OUTSIDE THE (CANDY) BOX...This year...give a GIFT that will last GIVE BLENKO!
At BLENKO GLASS everything is done by hand, and not much has changed in almost 100 years - we take pride in doing things the old fashion way. Hand crafting glass one piece at a time.

Did Blenko also make the door?
Do you order both door and glass, or bring your own door, or does your contractor do all this?
I am confused.

TODAY I SAW ON THE BLENKO WEBSITE NO MORE PINK ICE.
THIS WAS A VERY POPULAR ITEM
MANY OF US WERE DISAPPOINTED NOT TO GET PINK ICE.
CAN YOU ASK THEM TO DO IT AGAIN?
WILL THEY?
