Check out the Members' Only Section and our BBS at:http://www.carnivalglass.org/cgamemsp ... lglass.org/cgamemspot/bbs -----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Members, Brian here. I hope you have had some time to enjoy the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I watched the opening ceremony in awe (LOVED the whales on the floor sequence), and there has already been lots of excitement. I really enjoyed watching Canada get their first gold medal on home soil last night. In the meantime, the carnival glass world continues with two more conventions in the next few weeks. Southern California sounds really warm to me right now (we had a freak blizzard yesterday), and Texas hospitality would be fantastic about now! Meanwhile, plans for two conventions I have a little part in (wwwcga and ICGA) are continuing to bring you some summer fun (you know, when it is warm!) I also want to take a moment to thank all of you (and there are a bunch of you!) who have sent in your dues renewals. Great job!!! Okay, let's see what is in the mail hopper... === From: Samantha PrinceTo: Zella & Doug I think those are Dugan Mae West candleholders? Here is a pair I sold recently for you to compare: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT As for Fred's comments on Horehound... I couldn't agree more!! Although I think "oxblood" may run a close second! === To: Zella and DougFrom: Barb C. Your pair of candlesticks have been named Mae West for their stately figure resembling Mae West, the old time actress. They were produced by Dugan. === From: Rod in MichiganHello Doug and Zella, Checked strecth glass book I think the candle sticks are made by Diamond glass ware company plate 63 page 30 has a set of green one's. Rod Mich. === From: Janet K.Hi Brian: Well the Tampa Bay Convention is over and was it ever a great success. We had quite a few attendees that had never been there before and they said they will be back. The Seminars were just outstanding with Lew Marquart showing pieces that had never been out of his house before and did they ever had super color. Pete and Paula Bingham made us all think about buying contemporary carnival and some of their whimsies and one of a kind pieces were superb. "Luigi" Tom Mordini with his talk was something that you had to see. Brian we should've had you there so the video could've been put on wwwcga and you could've all had a big laugh as we did. You would've all oohed and aahed over the pieces that he showed. 3 Goddess of Harvest bowls in different shapes and color, an AO Peacock at the Fountain Punch Set, the Green Frolicking Bears pitcher, the A. Radium Millersburg Big Fish Rosebowl and the Green Farmyard Bowl. Then we had Emmett and Dorothy Morgan for our banquet speakers and if you have heard them you know how enjoyable their talk was. Our Theme this year was "Carnival the Pirate's Treasure". Well our banquet on Friday night was a real Treasure. People said it was the best food they had ever had at a Convention Banquet. The glass that Remmen Auction Company brought for the Convention was the best ever. The color and iridescence was not just on several pieces but the whole collection had it. Super, super pieces. Jack T had sent in some pictures of the hotel and we want everyone to know that we will be back at the same hotel next year. Feb. 2nd thru 5th. Thanks to everyone who made our Convention such a success. We got alot of new members for the Club and are hoping that if you were unable to attend this year that next year we will see you there. Happy Carnival Hunting.. Janet Knechtel === To: All Carnival Glass CollectorsFrom: Seeck Auctions Our Texas Carnival Glass Club convention auction is just around the corner.
