I am on vacation!  Yippie.  Today I visited the Heisey Museum in Newark, Ohio.  It was one of the coolest adventures I’ve ever had.  Only the glass obsessed can understand.  4500 pieces of fascinating glass.  I didn’t identify any etches of my own, but saw lots of gorgeous pieces.

Yacked with a staffer/volunteer who offered some information and advice about a reference book, that I now have to buy.

I might donate my Belle le Rose candelabra as they have few pieces of this etch.  The volunteer said they are hard to find.

If you are ever in this neck of the woods, this is a MUST stop.   I had hoped to buy a piece of glass, but nada.  Did buy this deck of Heisey glass playing cards!!!!  (Haven’t opened it yet).  Has different pieces on each card I think.  Also bought a non glass gift for my son.

We weren’t allowed to photograph the interior of the Museum.  I forgot to photograph the exterior – can’t believe it!  So I was forced to take the photos of the card box.  When I open the cards I may take some pictures of them as well.

On to Kentucky tomorrow.  Hope I see some pieces there.
