I don't know what it is with me and Blenko lately. After never finding a piece ever, I have now found four! This is the third water carafe I have found. It is from the SA that I found the Sascha Brastoff piece. I did a sneak back to see if someone had donated a collection (they didn't) and there this amethyst beauty was. Couldn't believe it. I already posted my blue and green finds, now purple! (also the paperweight) So very funny!

BTW, my excuse at work is "my space bar key doesn't work properly"... the problem is that every space-bar key I touch seems not to work ;)
You are too funny! I decoded your message. Hope you are doing well.
Everything fine after a tough weekend. Thanks Amber!!
