Heart of Glass - Blenko Glass

Blenko Glass is a West Virginia treasure that spans generations. Nothing symbolizes the state of West Virginia better or more beautifully than Blenko Glass.

Whats Available in the Blenko Gift Shop?

This photo was provided by a Blenko Collector from Nevada, taken on 2/13 during a VC shopping trip. These items may NOT be available when you visit. We are showing this photo so you'll know - if you haven't been to the VC , the glass is colorful, lots of variety, and prices are
very good. Note the top hat! I was looking for an ebony top hat for 7 or more years. Last week blog friend Ernie sent a link and I was able to purchase an ebony Top Hat for my collection.
If you need a certain piece of glass - ask your friends, neighbors and fellow blog readers.
Networking is part of belonging to a Collector Group. Thank you Ernie.

Nice.
If you can weekly do a photo of the VC shop
it would be helpful.
I phoned but the top hat was not available.
neither was a cobalt lamp.
Thanx you for photo.

I again with Penny
if you do photos of what's in the VC weekly we can then phone the VC to order.
Perhaps during the warehouse sale - if they have a warehouse sale, you could do daily photos?

Please Blenko send photos weekly of the available stock in VC.
It will allow those of us w/o access to the shop to purchase.
