  2. My dear dear Glassdoc,
    I noticed there was no photo of Ms B for the new year post. Did she pass? Is she healthy? We are aware of how important she is in your life. Beautiful spoiled dog and lovely intelligent dog owner. Quite a pair. I look forward to photos containing images of Ms.
    Last evening my Mom was in the process of identifying her glass using the blenko project website catalogs. Excellent material. Very nice profile The improvement is unmeasurable. H
    Have you considered looking to WV sponsored grants to fund your research?
    My heart felt thanks to the people who did this work the improvements and the easy to use links
    will assist many new and 'older' collectors.

    Most informative.

    What part of Texas?
    I'll be in Texas for 7 days May 1-8
    My Mom and Aunt would love to visit your Blenko
    during our Dallas stay.
    If the exhibit is within 2 hours I'll drive them to visit your glass.

    I also noticed the improvement in the www.blenkoproject.org pages. The improvements are superior. The Blenko Project pages are a researchers dream. I buy and sell on line and use the pages frequently to properly label my wares.

  5. No mention of ground hog day.
    Are you forgetting your WVa roots?

    I also noticed Glasslady didn't do her usual "I am not a glass expert" and photo of dog. My best guess is the dog is good, its a young puppy Ask again in 8 or 9 years.

    FYI
    I've been reading this blog for more than 4 years and Ms B was a part of the blog from day one.
    She must be more than 4.
    I am certain Ms B is not a puppy.

  9. Sol,
    Clarification - contributing glass photos is not an invitation to visit. When Bruce's glass is again on public display - we'll post this info on the blog.

    I'm certain Dr V who works very hard to keep the blenkoproject www.blenkoproject.org up dated and informtive will be pleased with your comment.

    Ms B is now nine years old, and in excellent health. Thank you for asking.
