What are you looking for?

The most successful collectors are the ones who KNOW what they are looking for, perhaps this is true is all life adventures IF you have knowledge about your wants and desires . . . the search will be quieter, quicker, and more successful, also let others know what you are looking for. One reason to join a Collectors Group is to have friends who share your passion for glass and the search for particular glass items. What one person considers beautiful in color and shape another might find not so beautiful . This is true in life and glass collecting, which adds to the fun of collecting with a group.
