To Collect or Not To Collect - Is this an Option?

" The most discouraging feature of mania for BLENKO GLASS - collecting is, that it grows by what it feeds on and becomes the more insatiable the more it is gratified." *

I saw this William Matthews quote about book collecting - I'm altering it a bit for us - it fits so well - next Friday is June 20th. West Virginia 's Birthday. If you aren't lucky enough to get one of the Birthday Pieces - the Blenko Glass Company will be offering many other very special items. Mr. Richard Blenko will be there to sign glass. This is a very special occasion. Any item signed, and most especially an item signed by Richard BLENKO is increased greatly in value. Given the opportunity to stand in line and have your glass signed, opt to do this. If you have have camera take photos and keep the visual documentation with your glass.
* At least for me the more glass I have the more I want, the more unique and beautiful Blenko glass I visit the more I want to own, I hope this is true for each of you - and that you are purchasing this beautiful glass while its still being handcrafted in West Virginia.
