Ernie Downey - Glass Artist

Ernie Downey like most of the people who follow this blog,  LOVE Blenko Glass.

    Ernie takes this passion one step further,   he volunteers to photograph glass for Blenko, he teaches classes.   He is devoted to Blenko Glass.

    Ernie uses Blenko Glass in many of his projects -  we've featured his jewelry in the past.  We've mentioned owning several pieces for many years - this is not costume jewelry.  It is quality, handcrafted items - often using Blenko Glass.

Last Minute Gifts? Think Blenko Glass Company, Milton, WVa.

On Tuesday I received a note from blog friend Margie Hale,  Margie now lives in an assisted living facility - but reports she drives herself to the market once a week,  has dinner out with grandchildren each Wednesday and drives herself to the Temple each Saturday.
   Margie suggest: ' I ask you to buy multiples of the Blenko Daily Holiday Special.   I apologize for opening the mail two weeks after Margie sent the suggestion.'
     Perhaps in the upcoming year you can shop the WAREHOUSE SALE with the intention of doing  gift giving.
     Our sincere Thank You to Margie for following the blog since its inception.  Margie please  send an address to  theblenkoproject  at aol. com,  I want to share the new Blenko Glass cards with you.  Margie I know you are very excited with the Marshall Bowl!   I'll be thinking of you on the 7th as we watch.   hjh
