HILLARY YOU ARE WRONG
I HAVE ASK THE DARK HAIRED LADY IN THE GIFT SHOP A DOZEWN TIMES ABOUT THESE CARDS
BLENKO SALES NOTHING LIKE THIS.
PROVIDE THE CORRECT ADDRESS.
BLENKO ( TRIPPE GLASS) WOULD BE SMART TO SELL BUT THEN SMART DOESNT FIT DOES IT?
MOUNTAIN RITA
BUY VINTAGE BLENKO OR ELSE BUY FROM THE GUYS WHO WORK THERE IF YOU MUST BUY NEW GLASS.
BLENKO IS A TREASURE. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE MEMORY.

Mountain Rita is
correct this time. I too have mentioned the cards while visiting Blenko.
Blenko can you get these in stock before your March sale? I come only when there is a sale.

My cards haven't been re-ordered by Blenko, but you can buy them diretcly from me in my Etsy shop: Renaissance Woman's Etsy Shop I don't have a lot of colors in stock right now, but if you have a color in mind, send me a "convo" (Etsy speak for coversation) and I will create a custom listing just for you.

I assume Blenko would make a profit on the cards, would they not?
If so then why on earth would they not want to support a Blenko inspired card made by a Blenko Collector?
Perhaps someone should talk directly with Mr. Walter Blenko.

I don't have any answers on that. All I know is that the cards ARE available online, direct from me. Advantages to that are you get the colors you want, in whatever quantity you need. As of tonight, my Etsy shop has a red, green, orange, pink and purple card available for immediate shipping. I would be happy to make any other color you want. I will send Hillary some photos of cards I have made in the past - these are not currently in stock, but should give you a good idea of what they look like. Thanks again for all the interest!

Trippe Glass has a nice ring
and Katy has worked hard enough to
have some recognition.
Go Katy.

Change is a part of life.
Blenko is no longer managed by Blenko in the day to day operations.
Gene Weekly was the first non Blenko to manage. Katie is the 2nd and I'm certain there will be many others to follow Katie.
Life span for these folks is same as frozen fish.

Oh Mountain Rita,
You are a manipulative woman.
In private my friends and I tease about Tripp Glass
to have someone put those private thoughts in a public blog? Well. Only a lawyer would have the nerve to say what the masses only think.

hillary are you reading the comments before posting?

I love the vintage feel of this paper art.

The last name is spelled TRIPPE. If 'mountain rita' is indeed, an attorney, she must be a sadly lacking one, just as she is sadly lacking in intelligence and doesn't mind letting everyone know.
The sheer ugliness of people who post hateful things about Blenko, it's employees and those in charge, just shows the level of mindless stupidity on this blog.

Beautiful !!!!
Why are these not available in the online Blenko Glass store?

Ibuyblenko said...

Last comment? Trippe? Does she mean to imply Trippe Glass?
Or is she not spelling correctly to avoid any legal issue.
You all are too funny.
