COVET - Yearn to possess or have (something). I don't desire to own the big or expensive Blenko items. My desire is simple.
My collection of Blenko is small. Made up primarily of glass made for me by retired or current employees at Blenko. I also own several items made by glassworkers from other small independent glass shops.
There are several Blenko catalog items I covet - 1)The Blenko Pineapple ( my parents own one or more of every piece of fruit / veggie Blenko made except the Pineapple. Other than in photos, we have never seen the Blenko pineapple. The pineapple is a coveted item in our home. 2) The Blenko Ram heads are also items I would want to own. We did see the Rams Head in 2008 - A Blenko collector from Montgomery acquired one.

ReplyDeleteI covet your life, you are very young and very successful.
You have a house and dog. I'm stuck in an apartment that allows only cats.
You have great glass, I buy only from ebay and consider myself to be a wannabe collector.
I covet your life.

ReplyDeleteAnonymous, sorry you did not have a good experience with Damon. I have dealt with him on many occasions and am totally satisfied with his honesty, integrity, and the quality of his glass. Steve
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve.
ReplyDeleteMy own experiences with Damon have been very positive.
He generously offered information, photos etc when we were starting the Blenko Project.

ReplyDeleteI wish you good luck with your blenko collecting.
I also want to share some thoughts about your comment.
A very wise man once told me if we are grateful for what we have, our live will always be filled with joy.
The same man told me - " grass always looks greener from the other side of the fence"
Glass doc lives her life with her community, her god, and her family in 1st place. Try this. My best guess is glassdoc would tell you her life isn't as easy or simple as you think.
