  5. I can really tell your computer is dying
    Have you ask for help?
    Does anyone from Blenko read the blog?
    Now if and when it works again will you post the phone numbers when you write about glass places?
    Often googling doesn't help.
    Thank you

  9. The Osburn West Virginia birthday piece will be available at his showroom or for phone/internet orders. Since this is their first year doing this, they are only producing 40 of the pieces, and they will all be signed and numbered by David himself. The price is $80 dollars plus the cost of shipping if applicable.

  11. Does anyone have contact info for Osburn? Phani and I would like to have #1 in his 1st Edition or a single digit number. I can call with charge card info and then we can pick up the vase in early Sept.
    Hilary can you publish photos of the multiple offerings on this WV Birthday?
    So sorry to hear your computer problems continue I believe Blenko will step up with a functioning laptop soon.

    Good Luck

  18. I called Fenton today. The man I talked too said he didn't think they were making a Birthday Vase. He transferred me to the person in charge of the collections being made. She is on vacation, so it's not for sure whether their making one or not. I'm still planning on stopping there. :)

    Don't do it. I've been married for 5 years, lived together for 7 before. They are nicer when you just live together.
    Also don't co own, the co owning is keeping me broke.
    Very little $$ left for Blenko and other toys.
