Plan now for A Sugarless Valentine's Month

Caroline from heart of glass blog, sent a note about SOAP channels Sugarless Valentine's Week. She suggested we might want to advertise a Sugarless Valentine's Month! Well as you know - I don't do the advertising for BLENKO GLASS. I will send along the comment.

For me it was a sensible comment. For the entire year! Give up meat one day a week (if you haven't already given up meat) use the saving 1/2 for your piggy bank 1/2 for a Blenko or Glass Collection account, same thing with white flour and sugar, who among us really needs that white flour or sugar. Certainly NOT the children.

This year for Valentine's Day consider giving the Teachers of Your Children BLENKO GLASS hearts or red or pink BLENKO GLASS http://www.blenkoglass.com/ (not all glass is less expensive in the Blenko Glass visitors shop , Milton). Instead of giving sweets to your neighbors give GLASS red or pink BLENKO and suggest in the Spring you will bring flowers or flowers from their own garden would look so lovely in the BLENKO.

When you give BLENKO tell the Blenko story, ask for the paper products to include in the gift box (free or $1) which tell the BLENKO GLASS story. Educate your neighbors, about the marks of handmade glass, educate your children. Let's work to TAKE BACK the GLASS MAKING INDUSTRY! BLENKO GLASS is the only antique glass manufacturer in the US!

Let's work hard to keep glass making, tableware, in West Virginia.

Use BLENKO GLASS daily, along side your Fiesta (dishes from Northern WV) these companies are still in business you can get replacements if there is a breakage. Buy 2 sets, use one and let the other 'age'.

Mountain Rita tells me she has been on a diet of walking 3 miles daily before she allows herself access to the Internet, the only other thing she does is eliminate white flour. To date she has released 7 pounds since December 20th, she reports her sessions with gym trainer will begin in March after the bad weather as she must drive 40 minutes to the gym.

Way to go - Mountain Rita!

I'm rambling today, we didn't talk about Christmas Glass, did you get glass or give glass, what did you gift or receive ? (photos?), did you make New Years Resolutions? Care to share those?

Have a great day. I'm doing what I call a study 'bootcamp' I work 8 hours with 2 short breaks daily to prepare for my National Board during this my Holiday! hjh
