Blenko Birthday Stories - Barry and Gina of Charleston

Barry C. of Charleston had the honor of purchasing the #1 piece in 2007 and 2008. This year he and his girlfriend Gina arrived at 8 am and were #3 and #4.

Barry reports he was not disappointed as the number didn't matter so much as just getting a Birthday Piece to add to his collection.

Barry is a retired Tech Engineer from Coca Cola he moved to Charleston 4 years ago from North Carolina. Gina is a pharm tech and together they have a 2 year old Bichon named Whinnie.

Barry is the Blenko Collector - Gina has many other collections, but together they hit the Charleston Flea Market and the Milton Flea Market most every Saturday looking for 'new items'. Neither Barry nor Gina buy Blenko to sell, or sell Blenko.

Barry reports his hobbies involve home improvement projects, caring for his dog, and gardening, " I never grow tired of adding plants to my yard, my brother and I exchange plant seedlings and we both have grown into great gardeners over the years.
