Blenko Lamps

HEART OF GLASS theblenkoproject@aol.com wants photos of your lamps for a December blog post about BLENKO LAMPS.
The lamps in this photo are from THE PURPLE MOON in Charleston, West Virginia.

Blenko Glass has many lamps currently for sale in the Visitors Center. Blenko Lamps last a life time - they are functional, beautiful and a conversation starter always.
Why not buy a new Blenko Glass Lamp this week. Lamps make the ideal gift, only at Blenko will you find designer lamps at reasonable prices.
Vintage lamps sell for between 150 and 350. At Blenko you can buy a 'new' lamp for a high of $175 (many much less).
NOTE: THE HEART OF GLASS Blog is in need of PHOTOS OF Lamps, Figurines, Vintage Unusual Glass from Blenko or glass made in West Virginia. Mail your photos to theblenkoproject@aol.com .
Also when at Blenko Glass remember Larry the Antique Dealer from Texas' advice LOOK UNDER THE COUNTERS for those special treasurers.
