When did I become a Blenko collector? Found this cobalt blue water carafe on my way home from work yesterday. I was laughing all the way into the SA because I could see it from outside, and knew I would be a proud owner of yet another Blenko. Now I have: amethyst, green, blue and this cobalt.
All have been posted.
I just don't know what to say about this Blenko situation.

beeutiful my friend :) love this very much :)
Thank you Sean and Scandi! I would love a sunny kitchen shelf to display these. But the funny bit is that I never have ever seen these in the wild, and in six months I find four! Three including this one in the same SA. I wonder if someone donated a collection and it is just dribbling through?
Don't stop now! They're wonderful!
